Teen-On-Teen Girl Fights Sweeping Internet (Boys fighting not a problem, apparently)
Story here. Excerpt:
'NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. (CBS) - Two teenage girls went at it. Two adults allegedly watched and another minor videotaped the whole thing in Louisiana. The fight popped up on YouTube more than a week ago. Days later, in Lowell, Mass., local authorities discovered similar videos online and said local educators report about 80 percent of school fights are now girl against girl.
Some experts believe the trend is partly fueled by the Internet.
CBS 2 HD met with members of the cyber safety group "Teenangels" at The Ursuline School in New Rochelle.
"People want attention from it. They want to be on the Internet. They want to be famous and they're willing to go to any cost to do that," said Teenangel Angelina.
...
Cyber experts said it's one of the most effective ways to slow down this dangerous trend.'
List of excuses (just a start), as everyone knows, "girls don't do that sort of thing":
1. The Internet - desire to be notorious (kind of like male boxers)
2. Boys are behind it in some way for some reason or reasons
3. Pressure on girls coming from "society" is too much for them to handle so they get together and beat each other up (huh?)
4. Parents are not doing enough for the girls and the girls are beating each other up as a result (huh?)
Answer:
They need help. They need more money for special programs and funding for girls-only types of education.
There, that's it.
Hey, why doesn't anyone think boys fighting on Youtube videos isn't a "dangerous trend"?
