Statistics say that more than half of American girls are not happy with their bodies (at 13) By the time they are 17, 78% are unhappy with their bodies. Anywhere between 40 – 60% of elementary school girl are concerned about their weight or fearful they are becoming too fat.  Which leads us to a girl’s overall self-confidence.  

A survey by Education Week, found girls’ self-confidence has dropped in the last 7 years. Their confidence level has dropped. That’s only the tip of the iceberg. Mental health is now a concern for most girls because more girls are feeling sad or depressed.  

Where am I going with all this doom-and-gloom talk about girls? To a place where girls can grow and thrive and feel self-assured and confident. This place is called Girls On The Run Greater Piedmont. It’s a nonprofit organization whose sole purpose is to build girls up; to inspire them through interactive lessons and physical activity. This organization has made running a part of life for these girls. By running, they gain confidence and the will & courage to create their own happiness. We are talking to these ‘girls’ today.
