Bad Girls

10-year-old Mandy White is a lonely girl who is embarrassed with her mother constantly treating her like a five year old and making her have her hair in girly plaits which Mandy hates. Because of all this Mandy is mercilessly tormented at school by three classmates: Kim, Melanie and Sarah. After an incident where she is nearly hit by a bus while crossing a road to avoid the bullies, she is kept at home from school and meets Tanya, a lively 14-year-old girl being fostered by Mandy's across-the-road neighbour. Despite disapproval from Mandy's mother (who is shamed by Mandy's classmates for being older than other parents), who is very overprotective of her and treats her as if she were much younger, the girls quickly become friends. They dream of a future where they will be older and independent, free from families and foster homes, and can live together and have fantastic adventures.
