The sound of girls screaming

By goodness,ill or not,you are throwing the old questions out tonight!I have noticed that young girls love to `squeal`..when I last babysat in Sheffield for other daughter,the house next door has a couple of teenage girls,they go into the garden for a ciggie,and they squeal,scream and laugh all at the same time,maybe just a girly thing.But they are pretty well up on the old language to you know!!im sure they know more than me!!Omg..Adam Ant has just come on the radio !singing dont you ever..lol thats an oldie!I wasnt a screamer,but lol can you really imagine that I ever was!!

I agree that girls are more prone to that than boys and it's really irritating. I stopped hanging around with a girl in my neighborhood when I was a kid for that very reason. She was nice and we had a lot in common but she was excitable and she used to scream at a pitch that went from your ears right into the center of your brain!

Yes, I've noticed that moreso nowadays than when were a lad.........or ladette or whatever. I find it extremely annoying when girls are all errrrm, girly and screamy, surely a laugh's fine if somehting's funny, a 'thank you' is fine if you're given a gift. I don't see the point in screaming. I do occasionally do a bit of a girly scream (but it's a quiet one) if I see a spider anywhere, someone usually comes running in with some tissue to squish it or to take it outside.

This would drive me mad, my girls have never been screamers but a couple of their mates have been and it just grates on my nerves. Giggling fine but this horrible screaching, quick give me some ear plugs please. Ellie :D

I don't know what it is about girls. You should hear the little girls scream where I live. Just like you said, they scream about everything! It wouldn't bother me as much if they lowered the pitch of their voices. I always think about going over there and suggesting. Instead of screaming like this Do you think you could scream like this ? I'm prone to screaming when I see bugs. One day there was this giant palmetto bug in the house and when I saw him, I started screaming. Everytime it moved, I screamed again. My girlfriend had to ask me to stop. I didn't realize I sounded so loud! More screaming stories A new friend visitied me with her 11 month old daughter. The mom sat on the couch, and I sat on the floor with the baby. Then, the baby started screaming! and screaming! There wasn't anything wrong with her, she was just screaming. The worst part? Her mother ignored the screaming and talked right over it. I had to bite my lip to stop my laughing from spilling out. Can you imagine? I guess that's how the baby expressed herself and the mom never thought anything of it. Wow. That was some serious screaming!

Am I A Screamer? Well only you can answer that..lol.. Funny thing as a child i never did do that..maybe giggled but never screamed and come to think of it i don't know anything that i ever screamed at..even having 5 children and scary movies..must be not bothered by anything to scream at or haven't been with the right person?

OH Sir Fishy...I am at my gfs place, have been for a few days now with my kids and her daughter is 13...and has 13 yr old friends...and they are all girlie girls...yes..much giddy screaming is heard, ALL....DAY....LONG ..MY daughter is ALSO 13...however, luckily for me she's a total tomboy and doesnt do all that giddy girlie screaming stuff..LOL in fact it drives her nuts too...

i can perfectly say that sometimes if im scared of something i do screamed..but not if im in a happy mood..just laugh or smile on some corny jokes or even to silly questions..i guess as woman its our nature to scream a lot depending on what situation we are in...and of course the boys in general really dont scream unless on some situation that causes them to do it...but i noticed now that in our country boys/males scream a lot..those whose gender is questionable..

Oh to be young and excitable like that again. Having raised all boys, I only got to experience this joy from the friends along the way that had girls in their families. I must admit, that when I see and hear young ladies having the time of their lives it brings back memories of when I was just a girl what fun it was to have other girls with me, the secrets, the pure joy in laughter, the abandonment to total bliss. Yes I think I was a screamer :))) On the same note, that scream can turn evil and literally send daggers through your brain and cause your heart to freeze in your chest. This I do have first hand knowledge of from my 5 year old grand daughter when she gets hurt or her 2 year old brother annoys her... That scream causes you to through your hands over your ears and pray.

OMG those types of screams - here was me thinking this was going to be a fun discussion! I am more a shouter than a screamer and I have to say although I do know a few girls who scream I know just about as many boys who do! lol xxx

Hi pike'..yeah I know of quite a few youbg children and teenagers that tend to scream with excitment etc as for myself I don't scream but find it exciting, pleasurable and laugh at nice things said done or given to me...went past the screaming phase quite a while back and by the way what do you really work as??

Yes I am finding out that girls do like to scream when they are excited, I am finding this out through my two year old daughter who at times is not just a screamer but a screecher! However with also having three boys I can say that they too have their moments of screaming when they are excited especially my seven year old who screams like a girl. In fact I have often told my daughter off only to discover it was in fact the seven year old son!

hi pikey yes I did notice that from the little girls anywherefrom six to twelve. one little girl was screaming like bloody muder and I went outside in case she had hurt herself but no,it was a group thing with a bunch of kids all excited about something so I snuck back into my apartment. My son says the real screamer are the three year olds. he told me about seeing this little girl fall and she seemed okay she did not whimper or anything so he did not offer her any help but she saw her mom coming out and she opened her mouth up and screamed bloody murder. He said it was so funny because she had been smiling but one look at mom and she wanted attention, she sure got it,she even asked myson what happened and he told her she had tripped on something and fell down but she seemed okay so he did not interfere. she did not have any bruises or even a skinned knee but she sure knew how to scream. I dont think I have ever been a screamer even when I was a kid, and heavens knows I fell down and skinned my knees badly a good many times. I have seen groups of girls probably twelve or so jump up and down and scream out of delight over something, I could never figure that one out myself.

I think it is a common thing for girls to scream when there is something exciting they talk about or they learned from each other. Not only to teen eagers, it is also to the adults. Little kids too are doing that. That is just maybe an expression of excitement that girls can not control. Boys have different way too of expressing themselves.

My brothers fiancées daughter is a screamer about everything heck half the time you don't know whether she is excited or mad because she does that scream and it is high pitched..her mother does it as well..

I do notice girls do scream more then boys by atleast 70% because boys got all their screaming out as babies..lol I have a niece that screams just about for everything we are never sure if something is wrong or not because of it. We are trying without much luck to break her from it. So we end up having to constantly check out if something is wrong or not. She is 10 right now.

Yes, and I cannot stand that. Laughter is great, but when you scream at almost everything it sends out the wrong message, you begin to think that someone is in trouble.

It's not girls alone. I work at a school...and I've seen boys do it too. Scream for just about anything that makes them happy. I've noticed it with kindergarten kids too....I have a class of 20 with just 3 girls...and it's the boys who do most of the screaming especially on a field trip or party. So, I don't think it's a girl thing alone.

oh yes, I have noticed. I have all girls and whenever there was of little teenyboppers at the house, there was much giggling, whispering and oh those hi-pitched squeals! I love it also. They are having fun. Soon, I will be missing it as my youngest is 14 and growing up. Occassionally they still get like that but they are all becoming more and more subdued. What I will not miss is the days with all of them in the car. Sometimes those random squeals would be enough to make you almost go off the road. Once when on a road trip in heavy traffic, it was too much. At the first opportunity, I pulled over and had a talk with them about the noise level and the driver's (me) ADD and the need to focus. An accident was not on our agenda. They got real quiet for a bit until silly me, I told them that i didn't mean they couldn't talk...just keep it down. it was long before they were back to high volume. it all passes way too quickly.

Where I am its mainly boys about, but yeah they can scream and shout!!! Not sure why they need to scream, maybe to make sure they were heard. It could be a 'who's the noisiest contest?' or 'lets see if we can annoy that man next door!!' Who knows!!! I suppose you would have to a 12 year old to understand the screaming!!
