This activity provides thought provoking questions for the girls to answer in their journals that address feelings about being a girl.

1. Instruct the girls to journal on the following questions:
   · What is your favorite thing about being a girl?
   · What negative aspects, if any, have you experienced being a girl?
   · What could you do to change these?
   · What gives you pride in being female?
   · Have you ever thought about being a boy or wanted to be a boy? Why?
   · What do you think it would be like being a boy?
   
   
2. Ask the girls to answer the questions that are most meaningful to them. They may only have time to answer a few.
   
   
3. Invite them to share their journal entries if they wish and hold a discussion.
