Males have more problems as adults or do we hide the females?

[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 705087, member: 17720"] As far as difficulty parenting, my daughter was far more challenging until she reached age 15 or so, then became a real joy to be around other than some "normal" teenage mood swings. My son was an absolute joy to have around until age 13 or so, then went off the rails completely. Both of my children attended a private school through junior high. One year the principal of the school, feeling that the public education system was very "male-centric," took steps she felt would make school more meaningful to girls. I remember one requirement, which I thought was very silly and sexist, was that all projects in all classes had to be decorated with borders and stickers. Also, all projects had to be done "collaboratively" and the kids were graded as a group, because she felt girls are natural team builders and that wasn't being fostered in the public schools. The supplies list each year included things like stickers, scrapbooking materials, etc. and ran about $300 each. It was pretty crazy. [/QUOTE]
