“…Sarkar found that parents with gender stereotypes have a positive and supportive attitude toward the education of boys, while their attitude toward the education of girls has dramatically deteriorated [4]. When parents subscribe specific academic gender stereotypes, for example, boys are better at math and girls are better at English, children are more likely to have the same stereotype.…”

Currently, gender equality has gained considerable development across the world. However, gender issues did not really disappear. Gender bias and gender discrimination still widely exist in society and the field of education. The achievement of gender equality will always be an unavoidable key issue in education. Because secondary school students are in a critical stage of socialization, the educational environment can readily influence their gender preconceptions. Finding gender stereotypes that harm secondary school girls is crucial for reducing their effects. The research on gender stereotype of female teenagers in the secondary school setting is reviewed in this paper. By analyzing research done previously, the author aims to determine the effect of gender stereotypes on female adolescents’ development. This paper summarizes stereotypes from three aspects: the family, the school and society. Females were likely to grow up with negative influences from the three perspectives above, resulting in lower self-confidence and more mental health problems, hence catering to a rigid social identity rather than choosing a future path based on their interests and abilities. The findings highlight that educators, parents and public media need to support both male and female students in all academic areas.

“…If the father showed a positive attitude towards housewives, then the daughter had a higher probability to follow the traditions to be a housekeeper instead of getting a job and vice versa. Additionally, the parental stereotypes of mothers were still anchored in society and were more rigid than those of fathers [7]. By comparing the time parents stay with them, kids could be easily misled by this fixation on roles and thus believe that the mother was the one who needed to be responsible for housework and looking after the children, thus learned this biased idea when parents even had not noticed.…”

Due to historical reasons, females around the world had been labelled as "not good at science subjects" for a relatively long time, and this stigma had gradually become a gender stereotype because of people's repetition. This paper summarized the factors of gender stereotypes on female adolescents' academic performances from the family, the school and the society, and the impact on students' academic achievement development. The results showed that parents, teachers, and the society were all associated with gender stereotypes. Females were likely to grow up with negative influences from all three perspectives, resulting in lower self-confidence and more mental health issues, hence catering to a rigid social identity rather than choosing a future path based on their abilities. Furthermore, women's concessions and the lack of important findings deepened the biases of they were not good scientists, this made fewer women willing to enter the related field and further worsened the current situation of gender equality in this area. These findings in the paper extended our understanding of gender stereotypes.
