Why are girls fighting like boys?

Hey everybody, hope everyone had a nice holiday...

Here is yet again a summary of an article and my opinion about it.:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/7380400.stm

Within the last few years, women got more violent. This was a shock to people in the UK because women are seen as mothers, daughters or wives. Women are usually less aggressive than men and the reason behind the aggressiveness is still a mystery because it takes more anger for women to really act violent. Women only cause 10 percent of the total crimes but this is a steep rise compared to a few years ago. Normally the women use nails or pull hair but the last few years they have brandished knifes, bottles and even pieces of wood. Some teenagers explained why they act so violent because the combination of drugs and binge drinking. They claim to have a kick and rush of adrenaline when they get punched and when they feel on top of the world. Some violent women are now causing a ruckus because men who are even more violent than them are given lighter sentences.

My opinion:
It is indeed a shock to hear women acting more violent. I never see women fight, only with boxing matches. It is quite weird to hear women getting worse sentences than men who are even acting more violent. I wonder what the women have trouble with because women are usually calmer than men and yet they attack people too. Fighting is something for men to do. Women should behave themselves because they always tell men that women are a more behaving sex. Even though women are only the 10% of the total crime rate, fighting remaines a bad thing altogether.

Hi Joost^^
Your summary is well. There aren't much kinds of mistakes in grammar and your sentences although I do see a few...There is a clear storyline.
Your own opinion is clear and very well to convince someone.

Well done!

Hi Joost,

I agree with you that it's weird that girls are fighting so much. They should be smarter than men when it comes to this(and any other thing). Your summary was very clear and you did a good job.

Greets,

Sarah
