How school grades can affect mental health particularly for girls?

School grades can be like a toy that makes you happy or sad depending on how it works out.

Grades are like scores in a game, they show how well you did in your lessons. But for many girls, getting lower grades can feel like losing a race, and that can make them feel worried, tired, or even upset.

Imagine you're playing with building blocks. If you build a really tall tower and it doesn’t fall, you feel proud, that’s like getting a good grade. But if your tower falls down, you might feel sad, that's like getting a lower grade. Now imagine this happens every day at school. It can feel like your whole world is shaking!

When girls get lower grades often, it can make them doubt themselves. They might think, "Maybe I’m not as smart as others." This feeling can grow into something called anxiety, a worry that never seems to go away.

But just like how you can rebuild your tower after it falls, you can also rebuild confidence with time and support from teachers or friends!
