What does it mean to be a girl?

A girl is a challenger, strong yet sometimes vulnerable, a person who constantly faces struggles but is always ready to take on challenges. No one truly knows what she thinks, how she behaves, what she does, or when she will react—whether calmly or with frustration. Being a girl, I now understand that society often sees her as a resource, especially in terms of household tasks, and she is expected to fulfill the needs of others.Whether married or unmarried, she is often the one shouldering responsibility for everything—childcare, caring for her parents, in-laws, and relatives. If she wishes to make decisions for herself, others often impose their opinions, reminding her of what she "should" be doing, rather than respecting her choices.If she reaches 32 and is still unmarried, society may view her as a burden, placing immense pressure on her to marry, as if it’s the most critical aspect of her life. While marriage can be important, it shouldn’t be something forced upon her simply because of societal expectations. Career, though a significant part of her life, sometimes becomes secondary in these situations.Marriage isn’t always a guarantee of happiness or success. In some cases, if a marriage fails, her parents may distance themselves, saying that she is no longer their responsibility—that her in-laws now have authority over her. If she faces challenges in her marriage, she is expected to resolve them on her own. In truth, a girl often feels like she doesn’t fully belong to her own family or her in-laws. Her entire life can feel like an ongoing struggle, as she navigates the expectations and pressures placed upon her
