GIRLS are starting puberty earlier and as a result are more likely to become aggressive teenagers, Queensland researchers have found.

The study found that at 14, girls were also just as likely as boys to be involved in fights, threats and stealing – reinforcing the perception that young women are behaving more like their male friends.

University of Queensland sociologist Jake Najman, lead author of the research, said children were experiencing puberty at earlier ages because of increasing rates of obesity.

He said while early puberty for girls was related to an increased risk of aggression in adolescence, the same could not be said for boys.

In my time, you walked away from trouble. These girls bring knives and form gangs. Their agression is generally towards another female. Not the same thing as what boys are into.

You're a girl, right?

As a boy, one never walked away from trouble...it had a way of following you home.

That's a lesson that Obama is learning about Islam. Be nice, invite trouble. Show your sharp teeth and willingness to bite, people behave.

Not a problem. Though I am not as spry as I used to be, I think I can still outrun a fat kid. Those I cannot just make bigger targets.

The devil is blurring the gender distinction, so that there would be a hybrid gender.

As a non-menopausal male, I wish it wasn’t so hard to avoid soy. It’s in damn near everything these days.

Just part of the cosmic battle. Satan seeks to distort and twist all that God made that was good.

The sexes were made different and separate, Satan and his minions on the left seek to blur the differences.

Marriage is a union into one body of one man and one woman. Satan and his minions seek to distort and separate this institution through any means possible.
