NOT SO LONG AGO girls were celebrated as being made from sugar and spice and everything nice, while boys were ridiculed as coming from snails and puppy dogs’ tails.
That age-old nursery rhyme honoured girls as the fairer sex for their usual genteel demeanour and exemplary behaviour, and damned boys for the opposite.
But anyone seeing the recent video of the savage beating and stomping of a young secondary school student by four other students in the Fairchild Street bus terminal last week would realise just how outdated that nursery rhyme is.
That video surfaced a day after one showed another student pulling a long object from her school bag in a threatening motion as she confronted another female.
These two videos were the latest in a series showing school girls fighting, cursing or having sexual intercourse. This past week there was also a picture of a young female holding a gun.
