The Female of the Species is More Deadly Than the Male?
Don't disrespect the sisters.
I would've expected an article about fighting tendencies and girls/young adults to be about hair pulling. Not quite what this one says.
Any violence issues for you guys during that time period?

For both girls and boys, the most common reason for a fight was teasing or "being disrespected." In contrast to incidents between boys, clashes between girls were more often a recurrence of a previous fight.I've never fought anyone - never had to, kind of a peacekeeping type anyway. Well, okay, except for insulting perfect strangers for their behavior that might damage my person (like those idiots who smoke right next to the gas pump...perfect example). Still, no real altercations. I'm trying to imagine angering someone so much that a full-on fight would ensue. Not bad in my 8-14 year-old period of life. Worst that happened was a bunch of girls calling me a bitch at recess in the 5th grade. I got over it.
Compared to boys, violence among girls was more likely to occur at home and it was more likely a family member would intervene to stop the violence.
The study also found weapons were present more often in incidents involving at least one girl and that girls were more likely than boys to be injured by a weapon, especially blunt objects such as sticks or rocks.
