Girlhood and se-xuality
Introduction
Being a girl, has been one of the most difficult things to face. No, I'm not saying it is bad, I'm just saying that it is difficult. Yes, and this difficulty only arises with the setting in which we live in. Why is being a girl so difficult, is a more appropriate question to be asked to the society.

Also, This one summer leaves certain questions unanswered for the people to decide. Is it wrong to teach the girls and talk openly about bo-obs and menstruation? Is it wrong to ask them to have the liberty to have a se-xual relationship and then just be judged about it? Yes, the novel had been remove from various places claiming that it has adult ideas, but really, are any of these things not known to the children of 12-14 years, or are the parents still under the illusion that all what the children know
