Girls often place a great deal of value on how they are perceived by those around them, whether it’s family members, close friends or distant peers. Girls’ self-concepts can be strongly influenced by how others view them and by the need to build positive relationships. The relationships that girls have with their peers can influence their behaviors, interactions, as well as their sense of self-worth. For some girls, this results in persistent worries about how others view as well as low self-esteem, and, this can lead to behavioral health problems, including depression.

Depression in girls can result in a continuous feeling of loneliness, sadness, and a lack of enthusiasm for the things they once loved. These feelings and behaviors can lead to serious physical and behavioral symptoms.
