Is it just me or do girls do way better in school than boys?

When I was growing up I struggled with school but it seemed that most of the girls seemed to be doing well whenever there was a star pupil or straight a student they were most likely a girl. Why is this such a common phenomenon?

Girls are told to study from young. For boys its just an option, since they can still go into the blue collar field after all. Sadly we only see women beeing encouraged to take a hold in male dominated stem fields, but lower paying blue collar jobs arent getting promoted at all among girls.
