This piece is about a girl who grows to crave male validation from a young age, resulting in self-worth issues during her adolescence. She quickly learns that boys have it "better" than girls in this world, and to have "worth" or "beauty", they must find her pretty. I chose an unconventional way of representing the girl straying from her true self, through the phases of cell division, because as she grows up, she divides into two beings similar to a cell. This process symbolizes the two versions of herself that exist: one the naive child, and the other the young adult who is now experiencing low self-worth from craving male attention growing up. Towards the end of the piece, I describe the recently rekindled awareness of the importance of self-esteem in girls. Although it has always been crucial in our society, it was often overlooked in the past. Now that "confidence is beautiful" and "girl power" is trendy, people have been paying more attention to it. However, due to many girls' upbringings, they have deep-rooted insecurity and issues with feeling validation from simply themselves. "You can't teach a new dog old tricks" is a well-known cliche that encapsulated the issue effectively.
