Girls usually start off life at full steam. They're the early talkers, the social butterflies, the A students. But somewhere between preschool and middle school, a confusing blend of new social pressures, greater expectations in the classroom, and mixed signals from society (“Do your best – but don’t draw too much attention to yourself,” “You can be anything you want to be – but looking pretty is your top priority”) can cause girls to fall behind academically or lose their spark.

"Anak-anak dilahirkan dlm keadaan fitrah.Maka ibu bapanyalah yg menjadikannya sama ada Yahudi, Majusi atau Nasrani." (Hadis Riwayat Bukhari)
