They are more advanced (witnessed it with my own eyes) but at 16 they are not adults, they still have that teenager’s bollocks going on and make the same stupid decisions we all have done. I get that, kids are kids. But looking at university stats women have been outperforming men for some time. They get better degrees even in traditionally male subjects. And there are more female undergrads than men. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They’ll tell you that they are a bag of emotions at that age and need guidance 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are more conscientious in their studies and more mature when compared with boys. I used to take my kids to nursery and they were barely grunting, the girls were streets ahead in vocabulary. Men take a long time to grow up, I'm still in the process, females are adult at 16 or so imo. id say the opposite all my girls talked by one one the ball but the lad was trying sentences by the time they were talking just takes to things straight away misses nothing Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol Had good reports back from the bloke that owns the firm so your kids can surprise you. Honestly, wilf, for the last three years, we've had nothing but aggravation with him. We've tried absolutely everything, school meetings, because he just walks out of lessons, walks out of school, is very disruptive when he actually is in a lesson. We've had the police here, because the school have had to report him as a missing person. Phone calls, ad nauseum, from the school, lost count of the number of letters they've sent us, regarding his behaviour etc etc etc, all because 'I can't stand being in school'. School has actually arranged it so that he can skip going to school on a daily basis, and just go in to do his exams. Biggest surprise to me, will be if he actually passes one exam!!
