Tween Girls Do What?

Published 09.16.2008 | Permanent Link | Comments (3)

tanyaadsmall.pngIn my house, knowing what tween girls from across the nation are doing makes life so much easier for my daughter because all things equal, she’s normal… although it doesn’t always seem that way when you’re the mom. So I thought I’d share a few tween factoids with you… for your own use or better yet, to share with your daughter. Does she believe in horoscopes? Does she want to change her looks? Would she rather be a pig rancher (does she even know what a pig rancher does?) or a rock star? Have fun!

  • Tween Girls Say NO to the Knife. 70% Want to Change Their Looks but only 20% Say Plastic Surgery is the Way.

  • 61% of Tween Girls Have Lost Their Cell Phones at Least Once!

  • 65% of Tween Girls Drink Coffee

  • 62% of Tween Girls Believe in Horoscopes

  • Girls Forgive Vanessa Hudgens for her Nude Pictures

  • 70% of Tween Girls Say They ARE Bullied

  • 42% of Tween Girls KNOW Kids at School Who Drink or Do Drugs

  • 55% of Tween Girls Do NOT Talk to Their Parents About Drugs

  • 67% of Tween Girls HAVE Forged a Parent’s Signature

  • 84% of Tween Girls Think Dumbing Down Around Boys is Dumb

  • 28% of Tween Girls CHEAT on Homework or Exams

  • 79% of Tween Girls LIE to their Parents

  • Tween Girls Would Rather Be Famous for Talent vs. Determination

  • 68% of Tween Girls Knowingly BREAK Parent Rules

  • Tween Girls Don’t just want to be Rock Stars. They want to be Red Sox Players, Pig Ranchers and Crime Scene Investigators. Cool.

    About this column

    Mom: "What happened in school today?" Daughter: "Nothing." Mom: "Really, nothing happened?" Daughter: "Yep, nothing."

    End of Conversation. Daughter goes straight to her bedroom… her fingers are flying… Texting, IMing. Now she’s “talking.”

    Girl Confidential is your ultimate guide to what tween girls ages 10-15 are REALLY saying, thinking, doing and dreaming - straight from their AllyKatzz.com blogs (with permission). SECRETS, boys, fashion, celebrities, school, parents, siblings, mean girls, best friends, eating disorders, books, movies, sex, stress, music and everything tween. I'll unwrap it all for you… tips on how to speak her language and find out what “nothing” really means.
