"Girls grow up listen to fairy tales and they are princess of their parents. They realize slowly that life is not a fairy tale and compromise with lives just for and unknown person and family. Leave everything their family , wishes and friends. They find tears to be their best friend and guys call them crying dolls. Lucky are all the guys who don't have to leave anything and who live a life given by their mom,sis n wife. So girls are the angels on earth. Respect them with dignity, see them with trustfulness cause they are the one for whom we all stand here to see this wonderful life. Let us all come together and revolt against the criminal who see girl with sign of cruel. And make every place in this world a secure place to let live every girl with freedom. Show the world that girls are not the minors and no less than man. Man don't forget that the earth where you stand today is your mother earth. So do Respect Girls.."
