Here's what other kids had to say:

boy.becuse you can pick any coustom that is cool. your parents do not judje you with evry little thin that you like.girldom is a bad thing. you have to act a certain way. do certin things and whear certin cloths. my dad says all this stuff and acts like i should only play with dolls. i play with toy soldiers and tanks. but my dad says that only boys play with that stuff. than i had to get rid of them and replace it with a stupid doll. than my dad told me if i was into that stuff so much he whould give me the pink ones. thear ok but not as cool as the green ones. but it is better than the stupid doll i got. i told him i wish i was a boy becuse boys have more freedom. the good thing about being a girl is that you do not have to work so much useing your muscells. but pain is the worst to girls.

I like being a girl because then you can really choose from your wardrobe, instead of boys, because they can't really dress like girls, or act like girls, but girls can act like boys. Weird, huh?

I wish, I was boy sometimes because then I could sit however I want. I love hello kitty though. but, I hate periods, cramps, and pms. and having to cross your legs when you're wearing a dress, or skirt. If I was a guy, my name would be Daniel Joseph. but, my mom said I would of went by Joey. oh my gosh it would be confusing, if I was guy. because my sister Kaci's boyfriend's name is Joey. actually it is William Joseph but he goes by joey.

I like being a girl cause if i were a boy, I would share a room with my IRRITATING little brother and I don't think i would feel that comfortable talking about romance and puberty with my girlfriend if i was a boy.
--Isabella T, 10

I like being a boy because all 13 of my siblings are boys, and I have 2 dads, so it would be weird being the only girl. Noah

--Faith, 10

I like beign a girl, because we are more mature in a sense of growing up, and oru clothres are way better ;D
--Emily, 13

i like being a girl because, alot of the stuff boys can do, girls can do to! like wearing slacks, jeans, skateboarding, playing soccer, and other sports like that. when you're a girl you can also do all the girly stuff that we do. and boys can't wear dresses or mini-skirts and leggings, and they wouldn't be able to do really fun stuff with your hair if you were a boy.
--Adrienne, 10

I like that I am a girl but,I REALLY don't act like it. I am more like a tom-boy. but i really hate it when boys and girls think there better. P.S. if you don't know what tom-boy means here it is your a girl who acts like a boy sort of. I even hang out with some of the guys and they except me. they invite me to play with basketball with them its awsome!
