This book made me realize that I am not alone in all the obstacles I have faced in life. At the same time it also made me wonder is this all because I am a female. If I were a male would it be the same or are women only considered to be emotional creatures. In this world why is so much pressure pushed on women than men? We are looked at as very emotional and unable to handle things but is it that or is it that we are way stronger than men because there is so much we hold in and deal with that men can't? We deal with pressures from life can they? There is always people saying women can't do anything a man can do, but is it safe to say that the truth is a man can’t compare nor handle as much as a women can? Why are girls throughout childhood given all these rules and set ways and boys given freedom? Who made these rules?
In the passage “Tell Me How to be a Girl in 2010,” it touched me and I feel for all girls. Where did all these ideas of what being a girl is come from. I know with me growing up it's like even when you do what is right or what you feel is best for you it is still some how wrong. If you take the words like I'm lonely, I'm scared, etc, it shows how confused society makes things. You can be taught things at home about go outside or to school and it is like you have to live in a whole new tradition it is an all new trend. Is this going to go on the same forever or is it getting worse and worst.
