STRUGGLES OF A FEMALE CHILD
<p><br></p><p>Growing up as a female child often means learning to navigate a world that places limitations before offering opportunities. From an early age, she may feel the weight of expectations—not just to behave a certain way, but to be a certain way: gentle, quiet, compliant. Her ambitions might be questioned, her voice interrupted, her choices policed by tradition, culture, or even well-meaning family.</p><p><br></p><p>She may face invisible ceilings at school, where boys are encouraged to lead while she’s praised for being “well-behaved.” If she speaks up, she risks being called “bossy.” If she stays silent, she fades into the background. Every step forward can feel like pushing against currents of bias—sometimes subtle, sometimes loud.</p><p>Everyday being told that all this education would amount to nothing... The place of a female is in the kitchen.&nbsp;</p><p>And yet, within her lies a quiet strength. Her resilience is built from being told “no” and rising anyway. Every time she chooses to dream bigger than her circumstances allow, she chips away at the barriers placed before her. The struggle shapes her—not into what society expects, but into who she truly is.</p><p><br></p>
