Dear Teentalker,

But what happens, when a girl chooses to play a sport instead of doing some shopping? That's when friends start to think you're 'weird' or 'odd', just because you dare to be different, well actually, you dare to be yourself! Congratulations!!! In a world where people are constantly try to mould others to 'fit in', you have shown the courage to stand by what you believe in. But peer pressure is not always that bad, it can also be good at times. You can visit articles tab and click on peer pressure to know more. You can also visit 'got a question' to know more about the commonly asked questions such as yourself.
Remember, many famous Indian female sportstars have faced a lot of challenges before making it big. Reading inspiring stories or watching movies like Mary Kom will inspire you to become the best version of yourself.
As far as playing with dogs is concerned, there are a lot of studies that prove that playing with pets/animals enables us to develop a positive outlook on life.
Hope this helps, if you have any other query do connect online for chat from 11am-8pm or drop us an offline message.
