Girls have cooties!

[oldleft]

What are you talking about?

[brownsfan]

I know girls are more difficult to raise. I have 2 boys and 1 girl. The 1 girl has caused me more headaches then both boys put together. In fact, I could have raised 4 boys with less trouble. Not sure what it is, but most other parents I talk to agree, girls aren't easy to raise.

teenagers will often see drinking and even hangovers as a 'badge of honour'.


My brother and I claim that Mom prayed hangovers on us. It would take me at least 3 months to forget and go get another one. Thank Goodness for Mom praying, kept us out of a lot of trouble.

Perhaps these young girls and women have been taught that such behavior is 'Presidential'
and is likely to get them ahead when and where Democrats are in power.
Can anyone guess where THAT idea could possibly have come from, anyway?

Once upon time, I found out-of-control teenage girls an appealing concept.

Now that I have a five-year-old daughter, it is somewhat less so.

I used to carry a empty beer can to look cool. I wouldn't dare risk coming home with alcohol on my breath.

Thanks, MTV!

Somehow I guessed this was England even before I saw the name of the newspaper.

After reading this I have only one question....


Where were these girls when I was in high school?

[Incorrigible]

Cool! I got to this thread before dead!

That's because the Liberal media and school systems keep telling our girls that they can do the same things as men, but omit telling them that the consequences are different.

We have girls growing up thinking that the are physiologically the same as men, that they can hold as much alcohol as us, and can take as much physical punishment. There are television shows where a 5'5", 110lb petite female will take on 5 men over 6"5, 240 and muscular, and destroy them in a physical fight. Sadly, one day a girl will start something she can't finish with the wrong person, and she will be in the shock of her life.

They need to be taught that;

A. They can get pregnant, men can't
B. Men are stronger than women (I remember being shown a study in my Psychology course that the upper body strength of the average male is 10 times the upper body strength of the average female, and male legs are also stronger, but to a lesser degree)
C. Women need guns to fight back effectively
D. Most women are not big enough to consume the same amounts of alcohol as men

Parents need to raise their daughters to be ladies, and their sons to be gentlemen, and most of this garbage will be avoided. If I ever have a daughter, she wont leave the house until she's 40 :)

"Girls were far more likely than boys to have had sex: 31 per cent against 17."

Hmmmmm. There's a 14% discrepancy here.

Since the number of girls and boys are about equal, who are these 14% of girls having sex with -- each other? (Not that there's anything wrong with that. Actually ... well, never mind.)

Didn't have time to read it yet; MA list?

[trubluolyguy]

Teenage girls are now more likely than boys to drink, smoke, steal and take drugs, a survey has shown.

Mine are not, and have dropped friends that did.

Where were all of these wild things when I was growing up ?

BUMP

[GSlob]

What are the alcopops? Liquor-filled candies? - one couldn't get inebriated on those, as sugar and chocolate would get him [or her] first.

[Names Ash Housewares]

Garbage in, garbage out.

Pop culture has been feeding crap to kids for decades to make a buck.
Totally expected what the results will be.

Girls were far more likely than boys to have had sex: 31 per cent against 17

Just a couple weeks ago, the 14-year-old girl who lives across the street was bragging in her middle school about how, now that she got an abortion, she can keep having sex without any worries. Because, if she gets pregnant again, she'll just get another abortion.

Needless to say, her 'parents'—yes, she has two of them, as does everyone in our nice neighborhood—are pretty messed up. Oh, and she's the oldest of their three kids.

Back in my day, pregnant girls disappeared from school; I think they were banished to the school for delinquents. But, our progressive society has evolved. We certainly don't want to 'stigmatize' a valid lifestyle choice.
