Advantages & Disadvantages of being a girl

Many people, many of them boys, think being a girl is easy, you don’y have to worry about sweat, being a mess, getting organized, understanding your own notes, and many other things; but that’s not true, girls have as many problems as boys, even if they are different.

Some of the advantages would be that must of us are cleaner and more organized, but there are some exceptions... Like me! Even if you don’t believe it, 3 of each 10 girls aren’t organized, which means that in the world, a lot of girls are messy and mixed up. If you are one of these girls, don’t worry, remember you are not alone.

Also, we can like different artists WITHOUT being bothered with it, like 1D, Justin Bieber, The Wanted, Ed Sheeran, and many others. Why? Because of the society, if a girl likes this kind of artists is OK, but if a boy likes them, he is being bullied and bothered, like being called gay and that kind of stuff. An 87% of the girls in the world are fans of this famous people, but lots of them get very obsessed and achieve the point when they "literally" know everything about them, and let me tell you, it’s kind of creepy.

As well, most of us are responsible too, because we mature faster than boys, but it not always goes well. One of the disadvantages of being a girl is related with this advantage, and you may be confused, it’s because we get the “period”. It is something horrible, you always have to know what clothes you can’t use during that time, what are the activities you can’t do; like going in a swimming pool, and also, your mood frequently changes, and it will be something weird for the people you are with. And what’s the worst thing?  It HURTS, from the “h” to the “s”, you can feel it. I think a 100% of girls hate having their period.

I could keep talking about the advantages and disadvantages all day, but I want you to know, even if you would rather be a boy instead of a girl, you’ll have the same amount of advantages and disadvantages, they could be different or alike, but you can’t change yourself.

Here’s my advice- “love yourself like you are, because if you don’t love yourself, you won’t be able to love”.
