    Lots of generalisations and stereotypes there
    So what I witness everyday is a figment of my imagination and gives me no indication on how females v males act?



    I don’t recognise your view at all. My daughter is not a gossip neither are her friends, they are a lovely bunch of girls working hard at school to try to secure uni places next year. I also have 2 boys one of whom gave me minimal trouble, the other was a pain in the bum for many years causing us endless stress. Fortunately he’s grown up now but the years of absolute misery he caused all of us are still fresh in my mind.
    Count your blessings. My 17yo daughter was recently assessed as having PTSD, severe anxiety and moderate-high depression.Caused by widespread verbal and psychological bullying of her at school, mostly done by girls. Is probably going to take many years and therapy sessions to overcome the damage done.

    We are getting off topic. What I see and what you see on a daily basis are 2 different things. Just because the girls I see are gossips doesnt mean every girl in the world is a gossip.

    And just because the boys I see arent gossips doesnt mean there arent boys who are gossips.

    I'm taking my sample size from around 100 kids varying in ages between 3 and 18.
    All you said was ‘girls are gossips’.  That includes all of them.  I don’t think there’s anything that’s true of a whole 50% of the population.

    If you dont have any kids or any input to the original question probably best taking yourself off to another thread 😀

    There's no need to be rude because you don't like being challenged.

    That's not being rude. It's a simple comment. I have no issue with someone having a different opinion providing they can back it up with personal experience. 

    So feel free to share your personal opinions regarding the differences between raising boys and girls. After all. That's that the topic is about.

    I prefer it when people can back up their opinions with evidence and logic.  After all your personal experience of a very small sample led you to declare that all girls are gossips and all boys are more likely to use physical violence, so that shows how useful experience can be!!

    Don’t be embarrassed, generalisations like these are really common, but they are so so harmful to both genders.  People are individuals, you can’t classify them based on what their genitalia looks like.

    I am not embarrassed by anything. My opinion is my opinion. Yours is yours. Anyone with half a brain would know I didnt mean every single girl in the world or every single boy in the world. But then the politically correct society cant argue about that. Or take offence. Common sense is lost with them.

    You talk like my experience counts for nothing as a teacher. In my school last year the number of physical fights resulting in detention or suspension was 21. Out of those 21, 20 of them involved 2 boys.

    More males are arrested on violence charges than females. But I guess the national statistics are wrong too. Because you can find 1 male who isnt violent and one girl who isnt a gossip.

    Go and spent some time in a school and come back and share your views. It would be interesting.

    If you want to continue your debate send me a private mail. Or add something useful to the thread in relation to what was asked.
