你大概想表达的意思:
我并不是鼓励女孩们对危险完全无所畏惧。但问题在于,每当女孩面对一些困难,我们总会向她们灌输恐惧,让女孩子第一反应就是害怕。
我们所习得的恐惧,以及回避的经历,会伴随我们的成长,演变成了女性的困境:不敢大胆表达、为求他人喜爱而委曲求全,以及对自己的决定缺乏信心。
不会组织语言的人说的:
I don’t mean that girls should fear nothing. But when girls face problems, we put fear in them, so they will feel scared in the first time.
This kind of fear will affect us all the time. When we girls grow up, we will easily afraid of speaking out , always care about others and lack of confidence.
点评问题:主要还是用词和搭配不准确的问题
"put fear in them" 是中式表达:
英语中 “灌输恐惧” 更自然的说法是instill fear in them或make them feel fear,"put fear in" 不符合英文习惯。
"care about others" 意思表达的很模糊,词不达意:
想表达 “为求他人喜爱而妥协”,用try to please others或care too much about being liked更贴切。
"lack of confidence" 搭配错误,应该去掉of
"in the first time" 搭配错误
表示 “第一反应” 应为first reaction或at first,而非 "in the first time"(该短语意为 “在第一次”,如 "in the first time I met her")。

I’m not encouraging girls to be completely fearless of danger. But the problem is when fear is the primary reaction that we instill in girls whenever they face something outside their comfort zone.
我并不是鼓励女孩们对危险完全无所畏惧。但问题在于,每当女孩面对舒适区之外的事物时,我们总会向她们灌输恐惧,使其成为首要反应。
instill /ɪnˈstɪl/v. 灌输(思想、情感等)
The fear we learn, and the experiences we avoid stay with us as we become women and morph into all those things we face and try to shed: our hesitation in speaking out, our deference to be liked, and our lack of confidence in our own decisions.
我们所习得的恐惧,以及回避的经历,会伴随我们成长为女性,并逐渐演变成我们不得不面对且试图摆脱的种种困境:不敢大胆表达、为求他人喜爱而委曲求全,以及对自己的决定缺乏信心。
morph /mɔːrf/v. 变形;渐变
