You Go Gamma Girl!

'Mean Girls', 'Saved' and countless others movies have portrayed teenage girls in an unfair light...either very mean or a helpless victim. If you've been around many teenage girls you know this is way too stereotypical and very unfair to the many teenage girls who live their lives with admirable character, confidence and integrity. Newsweek balanced the playing field with an article they wrote in '02. They paid tribute to another type of teenage girl...the gamma girl.

I'm inspired by this article and others to point to the gamma girls as the standard. Gamma girls are not one size fits all. Gamma girls are just confident being who God made them. They are going to be the best they can and let the chips fall where they may. Gamma girls enjoy the passions God has given them. Sometimes that's sports. Sometimes their passions are music or scrap booking. It doesn't matter because the gamma girls is too occupied enjoying what they enjoy to be bothered by social status. It's inspiring. If you know a gamma girl you know what I'm talking about.
