Yes, sexism is too common among teenagers .Girl gets discriminated at every third turn of her life . Some standards are set by a society for a girl and boy. On these standards, those girl and boy are forced to perform according to those standards only . A girl is expected not to talk too much, not to laugh more, not to play more, especially play boys’ games and not to wear clothes like boys The girls are expected to learn housework, learn to cook, become proficient in all the household chores. Boys are expected not to cry too much, not to do girls activities and not to grow hair, not to wear hair bands and not to argue in the streets because it is all girls’ work and does not suit boys. All these things are put in the mind of a boy and girl from childhood, when they start growing up, and since they start to understand a little in their mind, then things are put in their minds. The things that later take many wrong forms also, that is why we see so many cases in India.
Different lines of girls and boys are made in the school. When girl and boy go for trip from a school, the place of the boy and the girl is different, they are asked to sit separately and even after reaching the place they cannot move around, they have to make different lines. Just like a girl turned 19 years old, then people start taunting her mind that now you will be married soon , but this is not said to the boy’s .Boys are told to be strong and speak, and girls are told to be calm. Weather ,everyone has a habit that sometimes a boy cries, nor is he told that are you crying like a girl, here we are not showing boys strong , Rather we are showing a girl weak and this is the thing that a society and we do not understand. Why does not a boy can take out his emotions? Why is there so much discrimination between a girl and a boy?
All of us must have read the adolescence chapter in our ninth and tenth grades. Till now, I had once noticed that Indian teachers do not enhance it properly. A different kind of atmosphere is created. Even in some school girls and boys are asked to sit in different classes so that the teacher can separately teach them .We all find this common thing, but all these things are increasing in sexism among the teenager .
We all need to have a great focus on all these things and try to reduce all this differences among teenager because the teenager are the upcoming future of the country which is very essential for the growth . As this will also increase the difference between the gender . Everyone equal either a boy or a girl all have equal capability .
