Just as young people absorb all kinds of messages from the media, young girls learn what it means to be a woman by watching the older women in their lives.
The big stadiums get totally packed, and everyone knows the words, and it’s screaming young girls. I met a whole bunch of great Nashville musicians, and they accepted me in their community. Classic rock and country music go well together.
Young girls of 13 or 12 are great actors.
There was a point when I was so sick of this physical perfection thing that I thought it would be good for all young girls to eat burgers and sweets as a rebellion but I don’t think that anymore because it’s not healthy.
Tell young girls they can be anything, including entrepreneurs and self-made billionaires. Encourage your friends/daughters/female students/yourself to take a shot.
For whatever reason, various outlets and individuals are committed to making the world think that young girls don’t talk or care about feminism anymore, that it’s totally over. But it’s not.
One Direction? The young girls will grow up and forget about ’em.
That’s the great things about games as social experiences. You play with all your friends across social groups. You see young girls as well as young boys playing. These are kids in school, people in offices, in pubs, all having fun together.
Without social media, I wouldn’t have young girls messaging me from Australia or Mexico City or the Midlands, but I do wonder if I’d be on it if it wasn’t part of my job.
I get tons of emails every day from a lot of gays and young girls asking for help with their self-confidence and to heal and to feel. Even though I’m not an equipped social worker, I think the mom presence that I have makes them feel safe.
I think a lot of young girls go through that period in their life of finding who they are, and at that point, looking good matters the most.
The young girls of color that first encountered the ‘me too’ movement in community centers and classrooms and church basements were there not only because they needed a safe space, but because they needed their own space.
When I get a script that has the opportunity to create discussion and inspire young girls, I don’t want to say no to that… I just want to contribute.
There is no need to waste pity on young girls who are having their moments of disillusionment, for in another moment they will recover their illusion.
Educating our young girls is the foundation for Nigeria’s growth and development.
When young girls can get 400,000 likes by doing a sexy selfie… we have to offer them another way of being. To dream of being female astronauts, engineers or presidents.
A lot of young girls have looked to their career paths and have said they’d like to be chief. There’s been a change in the limits people see.
I didn’t have the safety net that a lot of young actresses have. A lot of young girls have their families around to support them and help choose wisely.
It’s so important for young girls see that it’s not weird for girls to understand what happens in the red zone. It’s not rocket science. For a lot of the girls that I grew up around, that’s common knowledge.
To me, the tragedy about this whole image-obsessed society is that young girls get so caught up in just achieving that they forget to realize that they have so much more to offer the world.
I want to encourage other young girls not to grow up too soon. Just enjoy the now.
Treaties are like roses and young girls. They last while they last.
Parents do bear some of the responsibility if they don’t talk to their kids, are never around, even deny their kids the love that young girls often crave when they decide to have a baby.
Walking out of that curtain and watching the reaction of the crowd, who may cheer for or boo you, is a kick. It’s addictive and helps us put smiles on children’s faces by being huge role models for young girls and boys.
Girls are told they’re not skinny enough, or they hear, ‘She’s old. She’s boring. We’ve had her. She’s not tiny anymore.’ A lot of people don’t take into account the vulnerability of these young girls.
If there’s 10,000 little boys racing around the world and there’s only 10 girls, best case 100, the numbers are stacked massively against us. If you don’t increase the talent pool of young girls, you’re not going to get the best drivers at the top.
Feminists bore me to death. I follow my instinct and if that supports young girls in any way, great. But I’d rather they saw it more as a lesson about following their own instincts rather than imitating somebody.
For young girls, whom I meet a lot when I travel around the country, it will be a big thing. It will really show them that there’s no post in Denmark that a girl can’t aspire to.
And I can’t tell you how many women from a certain age group – they would be in their 30s now, 20s and 30s – tell me about how I was their role model when they were young girls.
I do want to inspire people – young girls who may like to wear boys’ clothes and who romanticize women and feel nothing wrong with it.
I’m so glad teenagers can look up to young girls and realize it’s okay to be voluptuous.
I think it’d be wonderful if we could train young girls to be active in lots of ways and that they then wouldn’t have to age at the same rate that they would if they were not more active. In other words, more physical fitness and not just the sporty kind, but the yoga, which is really important.
Gymnastics is the greatest sport in the world, and one of the hardest, but we have to watch out for domineering male figures who try to belittle and scream at young girls.
You don’t have to try to get a job and go through set steps before you start a career or start your life. That’s what I want young girls to know – you can do anything you want. Just start.
It’s important for fans to follow only verified accounts of actors. For instance, I am not on Facebook, but I know that many people are running accounts on my name, claiming to be me. Young girls end up liking such dubious pages and get swayed by the activities that happen there.
My films do have a big following among young girls, and I want to instill confidence in them, a sense of self-appreciation – to make them feel they can be spirited and say what they feel.
It’s really important, especially for young girls, to see that if you fall down, you get back up. If you get sick, you get back up. People are going to say what they want.
I appreciate being able to give back to charities I care about such as the American Diabetes Association – my older sister passed away from diabetes – and Figure Skating in Harlem, which teaches young girls about confidence, focus and goal-setting.
It is with pain that I read of the dire effects of my book upon the minds of young girls.
I’ve seen the effect some of my shows have had, and so I like characters that can be role models for young girls, roles that can help to change people’s perspective.
Young girls need to see women who are strong and vulnerable and complex onscreen.
What it meant for me to win the Emmy is I found it. It’s not just the award. It’s what it’s going to mean to young girls – young brown girls, especially. When they saw a physical manifestation of a dream, I felt like I had fulfilled a purpose.
Whenever I see young girls wearing way too much makeup… you’re young, you don’t need that much.
At Arsenal, we train for about two hours a day and are treated just the same as the men. It makes a big difference, and it gives young girls something to aim for.
It’s so important for young girls of color – young girls of any color – to see diverse women as the heroes of their own story.
Taylor Swift is so flawless, and so unattainable, and I don’t think it’s breeding anything good in young girls.
Rey is so strong. She’s cool and smart and she can look after herself. Young girls can look at her and know that they can wear trousers if they want to. That they don’t have to show off their bodies.
I saw there was an open market because everything was pushed towards young boys, but we had nothing for young girls. That was a role that could be filled, and finding Bayley helped.
But if you look at Victoria’s Secret models, honestly, young girls don’t necessarily look up to them for the healthiest reasons. It’s more about the envy, the desire to look aesthetically best: it’s an unattainable, elitist mindset.
I would like to be somebody young people, young girls, can look up to.
In everything I do, I like to set the idea for girls that they can do anything. I was really moved by Hillary Clinton’s speech when she lost the election – she didn’t want young girls to feel like it wasn’t possible and wanted them to know a female president will eventually happen. That’s important.
Especially for young girls growing up, it would be lovely to see strong women who don’t necessarily need to be sexy or find that interesting. Or have to be the girlfriend or the mother. They can play complex characters that you want to follow and make you believe that you can be strong as well.
I would like to be a positive force for young girls.
Everyone has to try to give back as much as possible because I think in all sports it helps kids to have role models or people to look up to. Someone like Jess Ennis, I know a lot of young girls have started to get into athletics stuff because of her, because of her success.
