A recent study raises the alarm about a silent but noticeable change in girls from a very early age.
According to data, around the age of 8, many girls begin to lose self-confidence, especially regarding their appearance, their abilities, and comparisons with others.
A process that does not happen suddenly, but develops gradually.
Before this age, they are simply themselves, free, confident, and without complexes. But as time goes by, something changes.
Researchers link this decline in self-confidence to social pressure, media influence, and rising expectations at school and at home. In this way, girls are exposed early to standards and comparisons that directly affect how they see themselves.
The message is clear: it is not about a natural personality change, but about an influence that is learned and built by the surrounding environment.
A call for more attention from parents and society, to protect and strengthen the self-confidence of girls from the first steps of life.
