I am 11 years old and I normally play with the boys at lunchtime but today they decided to play a game where you tackle each other down the hill. Now I’m not a very violent person so I hesitated but agreed to play any way. The boys immediately responded, “Oh, this is more of a boy game because it’s too rough for girls.” So I got all my friends and went up to them and asked again. Again, all I got was the same answer. The next day, I decided that I didn’t need their opinion because it was my choice. So whether they liked it or not, I played. And I won. They never doubted me again. For all you girls out there, don’t let boys get in your way of life.
