Dr. Sax explains in the article “Inside the Dangerous Empty Lives of Teenage Girls”, that thriving adolescent women are more likely to physically harm themselves then boys. Even though Dr. Sax is a family physician and the founder of the National Association for Single Sex Public Education his statements; young ladies are more likely to harm themselves and only have sex to pleasure boys, is false.
Adolescents strive to be successful in sports, grades and social status. But, Dr. Sax states that “the guys who’s captain of the hockey team … is not secretly cutting himself. But the girl who’s popular ... and doing well in school, is.” This account is extremely disagreeable. Teenage girls may have tendencies to “perform” and seem “fake” but, numerous amounts of young women just live their high school years by a day to day basis, not concerned about what others think. Sax also alleged “A small subset of boys … who have no friends [and] who are ostracized” physically injure themselves. Teenage boys can and are also affected by media and social status not just girls.
