In contrast to past gender stereotypes, they argue that girls should be strong, independent, and intelligent. Orenstein takes a second wave feminism approach, meaning females are just as capable as males. She references how she commonly writes about feminism and warning parents of a “preoccupation of body and beauty” in order to pull for a change in society (327). The beauty standards give women an impossible set of goals deterring their confidence. In addition to unrealistic standards, Orenstein is alarmed by the growing popularity of princesses because she views them as “retrograde role models” (329).

Of course some girls actually and they do just fine, is just the girls actually trying. Also they are some sports and activities in High Schools that are gender neutral such as: pom poms, badminton, R.O.T.C and cheerleading. In conclusion I do not necessary agree that boys are being raised wrong.
Today girls are more privileged than back years ago.

Beauty pageants have a negative effect on female adolescents, because of low self esteem, children growing up too fast, and beauty enhancements performed on young girls. Self esteem and and bad relationships are effects on girls from participating in beauty pageants. Many young girls are also taught that they’re beauty is the most important thing. Furthermore many young girls have low self esteem from watching and competing in beauty pageants. According to psychologists, it is unhealthy for girls to watch and compete in pageants.
Low self-esteem in young girls is rumored to stem not only from the roles they assume they must fulfill, but also due to the conventional image of a princess (5). Women are indirectly taught that in order to be considered beautiful there is certain criteria that must be meant. Princesses are depicted as skinny images of perfection, which alters girls perception on what and where true beauty stems from. In fairy tales when males speak of princesses it is simply for their great looks and very rarely for the smarts or kindness they possess. Descriptions of beauty in this light stifles the ambitions of young girls and damages the perception of others who may not conform to these stereotypes
Mass media influence and effects: -Radio -music -journalism …… -Television movies When it comes to raising girls, parents today have plenty to worry about: self-esteem, self-image, depression and eating disorders.

Beauty Pageants teach young children that their beauty is more important than their education. Beauty pageants make young female children feel like they need to focus more on their beauty and attitudes more than their education.
Is White stating that parents have no responsibility whatsoever to teach their boys some manners, social behaviours and so on? Schools are there in many places to reinforce what parents have taught them back at home in terms of manners and discipline. White seems to be too dependent on the education system to help boys become well - rounded individuals. Does White also realize to an certain extent, the parents are literally handing over their precious kids to strangers and then happen to wonder why most tend to have a hard time at school? White tends to only visit one
This quote is explaining how kids that are going to school and coming from better households than their peers can affect how they feel about school. Kids that come from poor incomes homes don’t enjoy school because maybe they feel like they aren’t good enough for it which makes them not want to go and get into gangs or things they shouldn’t be in. In conclusion This goes back to my reasoning on saying that the strongest cause of minority male incarceration in the U.S is young dropouts because most of the kids , teens , etc that get killed nowadays aren’t educated and involved in

“A federal study, found that as rates of alcohol use by 12-17 year olds increase, grade point average decrease” (alcoholcostalculator.org). This means that underage students that drink are more likely to have “decreas[ing]” grades. Their performance declines as in effect of the use alcohol and/or the impairment the brain has suffered. The student will not do well in school because the brain is intoxicated and will not be able to hold on to knowledge compared to healthy hippocampus. A decrease in grade point average, will limit the opportunity of having a higher selection of colleges.
Students who are habitually absent are more likely to participate in risk-taking behaviors such as substance abuse, violence, and delinquency (Kearney & Graczyk, 2013). These students are also at a higher risk for suicide attempt, teen pregnancy, and injury or illness (Kearney & Graczyk, 2013). Adolescents who miss large amounts of school are more likely to drop out of high school compared to their peers who attend school regularly (Kearney & Graczyk, 2013). Students who have high rates of attendance consistently score higher on achievement tests compared to their chronically absent peers (Epstein & Sheldon, 2002). Long-term effects of chronic absenteeism include low socioeconomic status in adulthood, social and emotional difficulties, and psychiatric disorders (Kearney & Graczyk, 2013).
