Girls, We're Tearing Each Other Down And It's Not OK

Girls need to send more love out into this world.

Girls, We're Tearing Each Other Down And It's Not OK
Mikhaila Watters

One thing I will never understand is girls tearing other girls down.

In a world where being a girl is hard enough, you would think girls would know better than to be mean to each other. Being a girl is the most difficult thing to do this day and age.

You have so much pressure to be beautiful, kind, obedient and you have to live in this certain structured box. You feel judged and looked down upon when you do something out of the norm or do not measure up to society's standards.

We live in a world where makeup and hair extensions are valued more than intelligence and charisma. What a sad world to be in. While dealing with this world, I still can not seem to grasp how girls are still mean to each other. You are supposed to lift each other up, not bring them down. What is wrong with us? Are we all so jealous and insecure that we can not be happy for each other?

There is nothing I love more than complimenting my girlfriends. Not only on their looks but on their minds, or their hobbies, almost anything and everything. You supporting other girls is going to do absolutely nothing to your own self except possibly make you feel like a better person. It hurts my heart when I see girls saying things about one another. Didn't your parents teach you not to say anything if you don't have anything nice to say?

It boggles my mind.

We need to give more love out in this universe. If you give one compliment a day to a girl, whether it be your friend, your sister or even a stranger, the world would be such a better place. We need to celebrate how beautifully unique we all are and cheers to being a girl and how each and every one of us is stunning inside and out.

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.
