People always say, “Girls, you belong in this world.” Yes, we do.But sometimes we discourage our own voices with all the problems and circumstances we face. Standing up and speaking out that’s our wish.Yet when we do stand up to speak out, they press us down. They give us reasons that force us to shut up.
