A girl is a young female human, usually a child or an adolescent. When a girl becomes an adult, she is accurately described as a woman. However, the term girl is also used for other meanings, including young woman, and is sometimes used as a synonym for daughter, or girlfriend. In certain contexts, the usage of girl for a woman may be derogatory. Girl may also be a term of endearment used by an adult, usually a woman, to designate adult female friends. Girl also appears in compound words like showgirl, cowgirl, and schoolgirl.

A girl is a teen female human, usually a child or an adolescent. When a girl becomes an adult, she is smoothly described as a woman. However, the term girl is then used for additional meanings, including young woman, and is sometimes used as a synonym for daughter, or girlfriend. In determined contexts, the usage of girl for a girl may be derogatory. Girl may as a consequence be a term of endearment used by an adult, usually a woman, to designate adult female friends. Girl also appears in multipart words like showgirl, cowgirl, and schoolgirl.
The treatment and status of girls in any group is usually next to related to the status of women in that culture. In cultures where women have a low societal position, girls may be unwanted by their parents, and the let pass may invest less in facilities for girls. Girls’ upbringing ranges from instinctive relatively the similar as that of boys to conclusive sex segregation and very different gender roles.
