The girls show more skin these days, but I think, generally, they behave the same way as when I was growing up.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
At school I got teased because I was so thin and awkward-looking. But the girls on TV looked similar to me. I would say to my mum, 'The girls at school are teasing me, but I look like those girls on TV.'
You know, when you go to high school or, you know, when kids are younger and there's not an understanding of differences. But I built up a very strong, thick skin.
I was more comfortable with guys growing up, but now I find myself more comfortable in my own skin and open to people, regardless of their gender or popularity or any other label, as a result.
So many images are saying to girls, 'Show a lot of skin and look gorgeous and sexy.'
For girls growing up, sometimes I think they get the wrong idea for what women should look like.
I didn't see a lot of women who looked like me on TV when I was growing up.
I think the actresses who are really successful are the ones who are comfortable in their own skins and still look human.
When you have a family, or even when you're just seeing a girl, it's difficult to be skint.
Pubescent girls, it seems, are manifestly more likely to exhibit extreme and bizarre psychological symptoms than are teenage boys.
All the characters on 'Girls' are growing and changing, which is how real people behave, especially when we're young, trying to figure out who we are, doing things that are the polar opposite of our characteristics.
