'There are an infinite number of ways in which we can fail, but very few places where we are encouraged to share, even celebrate, failure as a necessary part of working out what success looks like and how to get there. Teens, and young women in particular, are faced with incredible pressure to aim (and achieve) high levels of success. There is very little room for failure and, in a society that already devalues women’s stories and experiences, this pressure can escalate the fear of failure to a point where young people, especially marginalised young people, become afraid to try, fearful that their efforts have failed even before they’ve begun.'
