5 Reasons Ginny Gets on Everyone's Nerves in Ginny & Georgia (We Still Love Her, Though)

True to teenager style, Ginny has had some pretty bad moments, and these are the best, or worst, 5:

Ungrateful

Georgia has done more to Ginny than most mothers, given the circumstances, but she refuses to acknowledge this. She and Georgia are best friends at times, but when Ginny doesn’t get what she wants she becomes disrespectful, she tries to make her mother’s life difficult and she creates drama where she can. There’s a lot she blames on Georgia, and a lot more that she should be appreciative of, but isn’t.

Watching flashbacks of Georgia's youth, which was spent raising Ginny, it’s infuriating to see how ungrateful and rude Ginny is to her.

Only chooses to be black when it suits her

It’s not easy being biracial and trying to figure out where you fit in, but Ginny’s journey has become increasingly frustrating.

Ginny is only interested in being friends with other black students when she has trouble in her white friend group. Bracia in particular is an intelligent, ambitious fellow student that Ginny befriends, and then immediately ditches when her white friends come calling. She has no interest in associating with fellow people of color but will pull what fans call the ‘Oppression Olympics,’ when the situation suits her.

Main character energy

Ginny said ‘I am the main character,’ when she entered a poem into an essay and genuinely expected to win. It was a beautiful, meaningful poem about her oppression, but she entered it into an essay contest. Her freak-out reaction to losing was ridiculous and completely self-centered.

She got angry with Hunter for winning the essay contest… with the actual essay he had written, then started comparing his and her struggles with race, and told him he shouldn't have won.

Self-involved

Teenagers are typically self-involved, but Ginny takes self-involvement to a whole other level, and we’re getting tired of it.

She interrupts others to talk about herself because she feels that her issues are more important. She sleeps with Max’s brother behind her back, which is just not what a good friend does, and she generally doesn’t seem truly empathetic to her friends' issues.

Her relationship antics

Ginny and Hunter got into a relationship early on in the series. Immediately we could see that Hunter was too much of a ‘nice guy’ and that it wouldn’t work out, so Ginny cheats on him by sleeping with Marcus.

It was a dirty move that Hunter certainly didn't deserve and a really low, selfish act on Ginny’s part.

Ginny can be exhausting, but we love her. She is a teenager after all, but she has seen some tremendous growth and self-discovery over the series, with season 2 bringing more drama, but also more wholesome Ginny moments.

Ginny & Georgia is available on Netflix.
