A superhero team named the Powerpuff girls is no different.

The Powerpuff girls comprises of Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup. Their secret origin can be traced back to Dr. Utonium. Dr. Utonium wanted to create the perfect little girls with a mixture of "sugar, spice and everything nice". But accidentally he adds 'chemical X' into the concoction and the Powerpuff girls are born. Their superpowers include speed, inhuman strength, x-ray vision, super senses and heat vision. With these powers they battle villains and evil monsters.

Lessons From Cartoons

There's quite a bit that you can learn from these little superheroes. When they aren't busy protecting their city, they are just like the other little girls who are fighting their siblings, bed wetting or having trust issues. They teach us several life lessons.

See what you can learn from the Powerpuff girls.

Looks Don't Really Matter
Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup aren't the tallest or the most fierce looking girls around. But that doesn't stop them from thrashing the bad guys and saving the world from devastation. Rest of the times they are content being the cute little girls that they really are.

It's Okay To Feel Insecure, Everyone is
Cartoons are accused of being childish but some lessons are best learnt through cartoons. Getting past our insecurities would be one of them. It is deeply engraved in each one of us. Girls, it's ok to feel a little lost at times. It's normal to seek other's approval. But you don't need to change for anyone, unless a change is what you want for yourself.

Don't Judge Them By Looks
The girls were supposed to be made of 'sugar, spice and everything nice' but Professor Utonium added the dangerous 'chemical X' and thus the Powerpuff girls were born. The girls look harmless and cute with their various coloured attires and their childish names. But they are the superheroes and you thought you could judge them by their looks? Looks can be deceiving you know!

Lessons From Cartoons

Stop Being Jealous And Work Together
Not to stereotype them, but a lot of girls are just jealous of each other for various reasons. It could be the beauty, the boyfriend, a new job or something as trivial as a new dress! Instead of that they can take a cue from the Powerpuff girls, who always work together in spite of their own shortcomings.

Girls Can Make A Difference
Girls, particularly in India, are often looked down upon by the society. Crimes against women are common. They are often sidelined by their male counterparts. But if there is a life lesson you can learn as a girl from the Powerpuff girls, it would be that, you can fight your own battles. Doesn't matter if you are thin, short, long or curvaceous; each one of you can make a difference.
