[edit] Original Degrassi Season 1-5

Kathleen Mead (born 1975) is a Canadian woman who attended Degrassi Junior High (where she served as vice president) and Degrassi High. She was best friends with Melanie Brodie.  Kathleen was one of the original "mean girls" at Degrassi, and was always talking about someone, and their problems. In Kathleen and Melanie's very first year of junior high, they try "drugs", sold to them by Joey Jeremiah, only to later find out that the drugs were not real and were only Vitamin C. Kathleen's mom was an alcoholic, which played a huge factor in Kathleen's attitude and behavior, which later resulted in an eating disorder. In High School she  dates Scott, who abused her. She was afraid of the school bully, Taby, in her grade 9 year, but brings back her mean attitude, by pushing her against a locker, and setting her in her place. She brings drugs to a party for Diana, and she and best friend, Melanie get high. Melanie then tells all of Kathleen's secrets, including her anorexia, and Scott beating her. Later, Kathleen forgives Melanie about everything that she said. When Degrassi is shut down, Kathleen, along wtih all her other classmates, are transferd to other high school's around the district. Kathleen excels academically, only second to Caitlin Ryan. She was portrayed by actress Rebecca Haines.
