U4U is a members club for TEEN GIRLs
U4U SEES GIRLS STRUGGLING- SO IS LEADING A MOVEMENT to support an improved future by supporting teen girls.
Girls face many challenges in their teen years…
- 1 in 5 teen girls suffer from depression
- +25% of US teen girls have tried self harm
- 10% have eating disorders
- <35% have body image issues
- 100% of teens we’ve polled are hindered by stress & anxiety
And the stats continue to rise; society is not offering a solution
Teen girls get challenging messages from society & media.
GET BETTER GRADES, win in sports, BE PRETTIER, get a boyfriend, WORK HARDER…. They are stressed out. Social media, increasing time spent on screens and structural pressures further hinder girls.
Yet parents are busy, schools are full & girls are left with limited places to turn for help & support. Mainly they turn to their screens.
We don’t expect teens to spend their days in adult environments, yet online they do & are presented not only with very mature content, but also unhealthy & even dangerous influence.
- Reports prove Instagram is ‘toxic’ for teenage girls (95% of teens have smart phones)
- 9 hrs avg spent on screens = decreasing amount of time teens spend with their families, adults who can support them or engaging in healthy activity
- Academics, social pressures & parental finances are teen girls top triggers of anxiety disorders
Yet girls hold a world of potential & our world needs more female leaders
As Nobel Prize winner Amartya Sen says:
“The potential to change a culture lies in a girl”.
Females invest more of their earnings & time into their families & communities… over their lifetimes they influence generations.
Women are massively underrepresented in both corporate & political leadership, yet studies show they are more inclined to deliver peace through collaboration.
I would like to introduce you to U4U, a social solution and youth opportunity…a dedicated community for girls aged 11-18 which supports their challenges and unleashes their potentials…
U4U will offer teen girls a supportive and positive environment to interact online & face to face– so that they can be happy, healthier as well as properly prepared to lead.
