More visible secondary sexual characteristics can also lead to greater anxiety about accepting their new appearance, while society demands a different social role from girls, causing them to often experience more interpersonal stressors, such as pressure regarding body image and social relationships. Girls often experience more intense fear in response to environmental demands, are generally more sensitive to the opinions of others, more prone to self-evaluation, and also more burdened by negative experiences.
