ABSTRACT
This chapter, the author explores some of the more common reasons girls struggle in school and how to combat them. School performance, and underperformance, can often relate to issues of comfort within the environment as much as it can relate to our ability to do the work and deal with homework. So take some time to look at our comfort levels and connectedness to the school environment. A certain amount of pressure is what will often motivate the girls to act, to achieve. Without it, most of the girls would lack the drive necessary for forward momentum. And without a little touch of perfectionism, the girls may never push ourself beyond our comfort levels. Perfectionism and pressure that rises to unhealthy levels often happen when the girls misperceive the environment and our performance.
