When we were a kid, our parents taught us how to be a boy or girl by dressing code and behaviors. For example, girls usually wear pink, skirt, and some other cute clothes. And girls should behave passively which mean sensitive, tender, carrying, and modesty. Conversely, boys usually wear pants, hats, and navy blue t-shirts. And boys should behave more aggressively that means ambitious, individual, and responsible.

When I was in middle school in China. Boys and girls were already behaved differently. At that time, girls cared about their appearance. Even though we need to wear uniform, but girls tried to make some differences on their hairstyles and makeups. And girls always grouped up and talked something to each other. However, boys only cared about sports, and computer games at that time. We always talked about the sports, for example NBA and soccer games. We seemed never care about our dress compare with girls in middle school. PE class was the most popular for boys. We liked it more than any other classes because it was more competitive when we play sports than sitting in the classroom. However, girls didn’t really enjoy PE class that much. They were just sitting there, and talking to each other. they didn’t like any sports at all.
