Girlhood 101 🎀🥂

                 Girlhood 101 

We all know that being a girl comes with a multitude of obstacles that only girls can relate to !! And that’s ok !! In todays blog post, and for my first, I thought talking about girlhood would be the perfect start 🌸🫶

When I look back at being a young girl, I wish I could have prepared little me for everything a teenage girl goes through; body image issues, friendship fall outs, first kisses and so many other things.

Navigating friendships through my teens was definitely a challenge. Through secondary school, I had a few different friendships groups. Falling out with your friends is completely normal and something every girl group goes through. It’s like a nasty fall out with your sister only it feels like a breakup. One thing I wish I could tell my secondary school self was that these girls your friends with are simply just girls you know and in a few years time when you get to university, only your real friends would have stuck about. Talking about friendships in uni, can we pleaseeee address how difficult it is to make friendships in your late teen/ twenties 🥲 Thankfully I had my childhood best-friend with me so that was half a battle, but venturing out from your small town friendships is difficult !!

Dealing with body image is not something anyone wants to do but at some point in life everyone does come face to face with it. Going from your childhood body to your teenage body to your womanly body is something that just always effected me. When I was in secondary school it felt like a competition of whose school skirt was the smallest or who ate the littlest at lunch, and for what ?? As a 20 year old now, I look back at my 16 year old self and just want to hug her honestly. Never feel alone in such dark thoughts of body image because I can guarantee you, every woman in your life has had the same thoughts. Your body takes you through life and allows you to experience things and see things and feel things so why abuse it for the sake of a smaller skirt size or 100 calories worth less of food.

Keeping good hygiene as a girl is so important. When your body changes and goes from pre pubescent to a teenager, things change, and that’s totally normal and ok !! Maintaining a good routine isn’t something that’s always taught to young children. Showering and using deodorant. Washing your face and moisturising. Spraying body spray or perfume. Brushing your teeth. Just small things to maintain good hygiene 🫶

When I was in school I genuinely thought it was crazy how bad behaved student acted. The importance of education genuinely is something I could talk about for dayyssss. Oh and TRUST me when I say, your school days are some of the best times of your life. It may not feel like it but honestly being an adult is scary and having a routine and unlimited support in school is something I would pay ££££ for. So enjoy school, don’t not listen because you think it’s funny to annoy the teacher and look cool; listen in class, make your notes, do your homework and get the education you deserve 🤌🏻
