Being a girl is hard. Really hard. And I, as a female myself, want to share about the struggles about being a girl. So here goes...
1-Makeup Yes, I do enjoy putting makeup on because I look a lot older with it on, and for many girls, it helps improve their confidence. But, it just takes too much time, and sometimes I would much rather stay in bed than put on my makeup. And another thing, if you wear makeup, you get judged for it, and if you don't wear makeup, you get judged for it. No matter whether you choose to wear makeup or not, you get judged, which brings me to point two.
2- Pretty much all girls get judged about anything and everything! If you are skinny, you get told to put on weight, but if you're overweight, you get called 'Fat'. If you have sex you're a slut, if you don't, you're considered to be frigid. We get judged on everything nowadays, and many girls feel like they are walking on eggshells. We literally have to monitor everything we do so we don't get judged for it. But people today are quickly to judge about everything, so it's super hard.
3- You're expected to look perfect all the time. Many days I would love to go to school with my hair tied back and have no makeup on, but I can't. the expectation to look like a glamour model nowadays is ridiculous, and it annoys me. It should be your choice the way you want to look, and no one should change that about you.
4- You're hormones are to pot. One minute you're happy and the next minute, you're crying for no reason. Little things can instantly put you in a bad mood. I mean, I started crying one day because I couldn't find my favourite pair of pyjamas. And the sad thing is, you can't control your feelings, you just have to go with it. Which means, most of the time you lock yourself away in your room and eat lots of junk food. And don't let me get started on spots caused by hormones. They can ruin your life, quite literally.
5- Relationships. You're expected to always like someone of the opposite sex. Which isn't always the case.
6- The stress. We have to constantly try do our best. The constant proplems of school, work, friends, relationships, and being a girl in general is very stressful. And we get told to stop moaning but everything that gets thrown on us piles up, and it's not good.
So, it may seem to other people that we 'have it easy' and that we worry about nothing. But, it's hard and stressful. We don't have it easy. We have so many things to deal with, and more. So if you choose to judge and say that we need to 'man up' or 'quit moaning' just think how much we actually have to deal with.
