How do young women cope with difficult experiences? Many young girls will experience tough and challenging times, react with a flood of strong emotions and uncertainty but adapt well over time to these possible life-changing experiences. Inspiring girls to make positive choices can enable them to increase their emotional and social strength and confidence in their own capabilities. When girls feel a greater sense of confidence, they are more likely to be resilient when faced with challenging social and emotional issues.
