What Is Up With Little Girls And Screams?

[Miranda]

It seems like all little girls scream to communicate. Maybe some parents can contribute to this one? I suppose it is a part of growing up and realizing you have the ability? Maybe some little boys scream too, hehe. I used to do "practice" scream when I was little but that was different,lol. That was more of a horror show mimic. All of the great actresses of the past could scream.

I don't know... but I've been known to let out the "girl scream" from time to time when startled.

Screams are natural things.. If my children are any indication, they start loud and uncontrolled and then they learn to control and quiet it. Some probably like the sound of their own fury so they keep doing it even though it hurts our poor eardrums.

them little emo boys do it too...

i remember doing this with my sisters... we would walk home from school (it was only a half mile away), and almost the entire time we walked home, we were trying to figure out who had the loudest scream... i think it was also our way of determining each other's screams from someone else... that way, in case one of us were in trouble, the other two would know which way to go..

[EvilEve]

According to my mother my ssiter and I had ear bleeding screams as little girls.

My sister's little boy has the same scream.

It's really quite amazing that from such a little body comes such a loud noise.

i didn't do it as a little girl but my girls do it. i have no idea why and it bugs the shit out of me!! i hate hearing them scream. they do the same scream no matter what - happy, scared, mad.

I absolutely, positively hate screaming children. And Jon is the same way.

I don't think I have ever screamed. I have actually wondered what it's like. I've never had the opportunity. Oh, during a breakdown or two I've yelled holy hell, but not really screamed.

It just wasn't tolerated in our house. Our parents weren't very strict. But decorum and manners were enforced. There's no way we would have gotten away with the kind of raised voices that I see kids these days doing in public. It hits me right in my spine and makes me crazy.

Personally I think girls were created yes, a bit weaker physically for the most part....but that loud scream makes up for it. A lion.......or perv is chasing you in the woods......someone is BOUND to hear that!

My girls had the most blood curdling screams.....ugh I DON'T MISS the outbursts at quiet moments when you least expect it.

My neighbors kid sounded like she was being murdered the other day.......someone needs to read that kid the boy who cried wolf story.

For me that was it. The prettiest women in the horror movies and such were the ones who screamed the most and the loudest. I wanted to grow up to be pretty like them, so I figured I had to learn how to scream well. I never did it indoors, though. My parents taught me better than that.

Well, did your strategy work? *looks at pictures* Yeah, I'd say so.

My daughter went through a very short lived stage of this. She would scream when around her friends. I squashed that crap immediately. I, once again, told her the story of the Boy Who Cried Wolf and told her the next time I hear her scream it better be for a serious reason or else. She only screams when she's been startled, extremely frightened or has injured herself like an appendage caught in something and she's in terrible pain, etc. No Screaming Allowed!

me too. hate the screaming children.

and i don't think i have ever screamed either. just yelled. not sure i can even scream. i can't even do it in my dreams when i am being chased or something horrible is happening and i need to scream. nothing comes out.

The only thing I hate more than kids is ones who scream.

If I did, God forbid, have a little girl (if I had a choice I'd rather have a boy, they're more fun and play awesome shit like video games instead of with dumb shit like Barbies) and she ever screamed like that I'd carry her to her room upside down by her ankles and she'd be in there the rest of the night...

Due to the fact that girls are mostly annoying when they're kids I really REALLY don't want a daughter. Like I would cry if I had a girl, seriously. Raven said he'd rather have a girl...I'm like "WTF...you are fucking crazy, little girls are very non exciting and mostly annoying."

BUT...thankfully I'm not having kids unless the little stick you pee on turns blue. If that happens I guess I'm fucked. Then, if the baby is a girl, one of you gets a free kid! How's that sound?

[TygerLili]

Lol. Cher, you really need to learn how to form an opinion.
