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

[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 704924, member: 15801"] I have always laughed when people say boys are easier than girls because that was so not my experience. My daughter is easy and we have a much much easier relationship and she is doing great. There are some interesting books out there on boys.... and I think basically they are saying all the work on equalizing things for girls worked but they did not deal with boys issues. So now girls in general do better in school, do better in college.... girls are advancing and boys are not. I think schools changed to work better for girls but did not make similar changes to work better for those boys who do not fit into the mold well. I certainly found this to be true for my son. So I think in general boys are doing worse.... and then I think boys in general (and this is a huge generalization) take to do riskier things that girls. Of course that is changing some too so that girls are taking more risks. I do think though that having a girl with serious problems can be even scarier than having a boy. I was beside myself when my son was on the streets but I would have been even more worried if he was a girl. [/QUOTE]
