Pressure from schools and families to live up to society’s expectations of the “ideal” girl and be “good” causes mental health issues in teenage girls, a study shows.
Cultures in schools and at home contribute to anxiety in girls from all backgrounds, researchers have found.
Pressure to achieve high grades, be popular and beautiful, and participate in extra-curricular activities can lead to mental health issues.
This is more common when girls are fearful about the future, face pressures at home and encounter a competitive culture in schools.
