By using the word ‘girls’ I will assume we’re talking high school age. This is probably the most status-conscious time of human life. It’s an irony: after how much of this time is spent questioning the powers that be, we spend as much if not more imposing the same kind of pressures we are supposedly rebelling against. Women are very much in competition with one another – clothes, men, social circles, etc. It’s the underlying logic for the adage ‘Behind every successful man is a woman’.
