The world can be a tough place for women as they grow up and try to fit in with society's standards of success. They are often surrounded by the idea that they need to be "perfect" and "have it all." This can lead to an overwhelming sense of guilt if they don't achieve this. Women need other women to help them realize that they're not alone and provide encouragement.
We are born with a natural inclination to be friends, but as we get older we often grow apart. However, girl friendships are crucial for the mental and physical health of women.
Studies have shown that girls who have close friends show higher levels of well-being than girls who do not have any friends. Furthermore, girls tend to be more physically active when they're socializing with their girlfriends - women need girl friendships in order to maintain healthy lifestyles.
