 Published: Apr 2, 07 Views: 2,389 Think back to high school: There were the party girls, the drama queens, the smarty pants and the jocks. But not anymore. Today’s teen girls have a new phenomenon to contend with - The Amazing Girls. And this group of high achievers are not immune to the pressure. It seems that the ‘you can do it’ mentality has created a generation of girls who do it all… and very well. Creating unbelievably high degrees of pressure and unforetold levels of stress. And it doesn’t just come down to smarts or athletics. These girls are expected to perform and to look good while their doing it. To never miss a step, fall out of line or drop that smile. It’s creating a pressure cooker environment that is going to lead for major problems for these girls down the road. But the pressures not letting up…  Esther and Colby are two of the amazing girls at Newton North High School here in this affluent suburb just outside Boston. “Amazing girls” translation: Girls by the dozen who are high achieving, ambitious and confident (if not immune to the usual adolescent insecurities and meltdowns.) Girls who do everything: Varsity sports. Student government. Theater. Community service. Girls who have grown up learning they can do anything a boy can do, which is anything they want to do.
But being an amazing girl often doesn’t feel like enough these days when you’re competing with all the other amazing girls around the country who are applying to the same elite colleges that you have been encouraged to aspire to practically all your life.
