The Triple Bind that girls face today:
- Act sweet and nice
- Be a star athlete and get straight A's
- Seem sexy and hot even if you're not

In many ways, today is the best time in history to be a girl: Opportunities for a girl's success are as unlimited as her dreams. Yet societal expectations, cultural trends, and conflicting messages are creating what psychologist and researcher Stephen Hinshaw calls the Triple Bind. Girls are now expected to excel at girl skills, achieve boy goals, and be models of female perfection, 100 percent of the time. Here, Dr. Hinshaw reveals key aspects of the Triple Bind, including

- genes, hormones, and the role of biology in confronting the Triple Bind
