Society has come a long way in recent decades. Women in America have more opportunities and equality now more than ever. However, things are not perfect and women themselves need to treat each other well in order for more changes to be made.

Women face enough challenges as it is, so why should other women make it even more difficult for each other? The judgement among women needs to end. Instead of making enemies with other women and passing judgement on other women, why can't we just eliminate the jealousy and cattiness in order to create a more supportive culture among all women? We should empower each other and never let men come between us and our female friends. After all, there is not really a benefit to judging other women and being rude to them, so why do those things still occur? Judgement among women is especially bad when it comes to superficial things. If we do not want men to catcall us or judge us too much based on superficial things, then we cannot do so with each other either. We must set an example of how we want to be treated by treating others in a way that we desire to be treated ourselves. This is universal among all people but women should do so with each other nonetheless.

Women must encourage, help, build up, support, trust, and empower each other because it makes things much easier and better for ourselves. Women understand the struggles of other women more than anyone else does. Therefore, we should support each other because we know how difficult things can be for us.

This sounds like a simple message but is does not always happen among women today. Teaching this idea must start at a young age because women deal with a lot of issues among other women when they are young. These mistreatments among women in their younger years can have implications that last a lifetime. Cattiness and judgment must be discouraged from an early age so that young women will grow up to be women who empower one another.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
