The purpose of this survey is to prove my thesis for my essay about gender issues and parental treatment. I am targeting teenagers (14-20) either male or female with a sibling of the opposite gender. The results of this survey will be discussed with my class in a general sum of answers and will not specifically refer to any participant. I ask for your name and email at the end of the survey for proof of authenticity purposes. Thank you for your time and co-operation.

Nope. In fact I'm a bit of a tomboy and enjoy playing sports.

My mum while growing up, but more recently I've been with my dad due to the divorce
Part 3: Causes

I guess so, but if I went outside those expectations I doubt anyone would make a fuss over it.

Yeah. I hated it as a kid, but now I'm embracing girly clothes and loving it, so I don't mind anymore.

Oh yeah all the time. Dr. Suess every night.
13. If yes, do you feel they defined you and others of your gender accurately? If no, Do you believe the nursery rhymes would describe you and others of your gender accurately?
I dunno. I always liked the books about the animals more than the ones with people.

Yeah, but that was more of a growing out of the awkward puberty stage.

No they are rather annoying
16. Do you want to have children when you are older?
I don't rule it out, but I wouldn't mind not having any

No. As an artist my personality means so much more to me.

Haha yeah. I even use the men's restroom often if the women's is full or broken. I really don't care.
20. Do you feel that gender roles are equal?
No they aren't. Women really are being held down by idealistic men, but it's okay because I know every girl out there has the knowledge in the back of their head that men would be nowhere without us
