Bad girls of Britain get set to take on the boys
`British girls are among the most violent in the world, with nearly one in three Scottish and English adolescents admitting to having been in a fight in the past year, according to research.
In a survey of youngsters in 35 countries, child health experts found the average rate of violence among girls in all countries was 23 per cent. Hungary scored worst with 32 per cent, with Scotland and England on 29.2 per cent and 29.1 per cent respectively. Finland had the least violent girls (13 per cent)
Researchers also found high levels of fighting and violence among boys, particularly in Scotland, where nearly two-thirds admitted to having been in a punch-up in the past year.’
