Being a teenager in today's world, I know all the pressure and stress that comes with what feels like constant chaos around you, and I wanted to see what other girls had to say about being in this position. I asked 10 girls from my school about this (note: answers are anonymous) and not so surprisingly, all of the answers seemed to touch on the theme of pressure to meet expectations and be a certain way, and you can read this for yourself below. Here's what happened when I asked these 10 girls the question, "What is the hardest part about being a teenage/high school girl?"

"The hardest thing to me is the expectations with school and parents, and how much we have to fit into our schedule... I mean we pull all nighters and have no time for ourselves."

"No one takes you seriously with political opinions or what you think is right because you're too young."

"The lack of respect some guys show for girls."

"Everyone assumes you're moody and distant just because you don't wanna talk 100% of the time."

"For me it's the expectations of getting near perfect grades and also expectations of having a boyfriend all the time."

"Feeling like you have to impress everyone everyday with how you look even though once you graduate it won't matter what anyone thought."

"Probably the social pressure of being "chill" and being open with guys but also not being a 'slut'."

"Drama and bullies definitely."

"Labels which sounds cheesy but lately I just keep finding myself having to choose my words so carefully so I don't get certain labels. I'm pretty smart and I study a lot but I try to not let people know how hard I try otherwise some of my friends might assume I'm 'lame' and can't have fun but I also try to not let people know that I party because then some of my other friends might assume I'm dumb or throwing my life away or something.. I feel it a lot more as a girl because people put a lot of labels on us like "slut" or "prude" and I just keep noticing that I only show certain sides of myself to people."

"Trying to be good enough in other people's eyes instead of your own. Trying to be someone you're not and acting totally different. That's the hardest because it isn't who people truly are and they do it for more friends or popularity or a relationship."

So there you have it -- 10 things that most-likely every teenage girl can relate to in one way or another. Remember to be kind, loving, and support other girls instead of tearing them down.
