Okay so I guess I don't hate being a girl, but it is really frustrating me!! And I wasn't sure what category to put this under but since it kind of deals w/ boys, I chose this one... Okay so I'm just getting really frustrated and I need a reminder of why being a girl is great. So first off, the whole period deal is just not fair! Its such a pain and guys don't have to go through it!! I put in my first tampon today and it hurt like he**! Its just not fair!! Also, I start swimming for gym class at my school tomorrow... I'm really nervous about that... Also, I get really frustrated by the double standard of morality thing. You know, the whole stud and slut reasoning. Why is it that boys can fool around and do all of these bad things and its snuffed off as "boys will be boys" and all the other guys consider him a stud? But if a girl were to do those same things, she would be labeled a slut and looked down upon by everyone else? I'm not saying I want to fool around or do those things but its the principle of the matter. Its sexist and totally bogus... Plus boys never have to worry about being raped or things like that because those things rarely happen to boys, its so lame and I hate it!! Please... Can anybody remind me why being a girl is good... Because I honestly don't think its so dandy at the moment...
I understand your frustration. I felt the same way when I was younger. Truth be told you are right. It is sexist and not fair that guys are the studs and girls sluts. That will never really change though. Second the tampon thing will get better. Don't give up. I remember swimming in school. OMG embarasing. By the end of the week though I relized that it really wasn't that bad. I got use to the tampon a lot faster then what I might have because I had to wear it. No one will know either. They can't tell, it isn't like you are just going to start bleeding and the water turn red or anything. You have to relax. For me, I relized being a girl was amazing when I had my first child. for us as women to be able to carry and birth a child is the best gift we could be given. I hope your no where close to that point but you have to keep in mind that there are a lot of stuff we can do that guys can't. We are more mature, smater (for the most part), sensitive,and much more. People have a higher standered for girls and it is really an honor if you think about it.
I don't know if any of this will help but I hope it does. Remember relax... be yourself and time will fly!!! Good Luck!
