Some legit lessons you can learn from each Powerpuff girl
In the 90’s and early 2000’s, cartoon network had plenty of shows about villains and superheroes, but the one show that changed the game was The Powerpuff Girls.
The show taught us that we didn’t have to be boys in order to be strong and powerful enough to take down evil. It showed us that you can be girly yet fierce at the same time, plus spread an overall message of equality. They also showed us that you don’t have to wear tight fitting latex jumpsuits and be overly sexualized to make a statement.

One of the most important things the show exemplified was the vulnerability of each character. It taught us that it’s okay to cry, it’s okay to be weak, it’s okay to be injured and ask for help. At the time, we were too young to realize how valuable these lessons were.
The Powerpuff Girls were created from sugar, spice, and everything nice combined with an accidental dose of “Chemical X.” Their father/creator was Professor Utonium, and his formula caused them to share super speed, flight, strength, eye lasers, and who knows what else.
The one thing that set them all apart? Their personalities.
Blossom
Blossom was the most intelligent of the bunch. She was a “type-A” leader that demanded justice and was willing to take on any evil by believing in herself and her sisters.

Bubbles
Bubbles was the most kind-hearted and emotional of the group, but she still took down all the super villains along with her sisters. She showed us that after a long day of drama and trying to save the world, it’s normal to have feelings and need to release them.
Bubbles knew she was cute and that anyone trying to get in her way was a waste of time. The same goes for us. We are all too precious to let someone’s negativity bring us down. No one is worth your time if they aren’t adding any happiness to your life.

Buttercup

Buttercup showed us that you can be feminine without being super sweet and following the rules. You’re allowed to be sassy and make people aware of when they’re pissing you off.
