Blog #2- Girl Talk/Boy Talk: Sex Differences in Adolescent Speech

After reading this article, I found myself shaking my head and laughing at some of the points in this article. I feel like we see this a lot in everyday life. I feel as though girls' are somewhat "expected" to be more respectful and responsible then boys'. It's okay for "boys'" to swear or talk disrespectful when it comes to speaking with someone who is older than them.

I feel as though this difference is from our society..girls are expected to be "lady like" while boys' can do as they please and get away with it. This may not be true in all circumstances but I do feel as though boys' can be tough and get into trouble but if a girl gets into trouble or starts fights then she is in the wrong. I guess it is more frown upon in our society.
