Tonight I went late night shopping for a school assessment! Don’t believe me? I’ll prove it.
We are learning about non-verbal communication in Society & Culture and as a part of our assessment we had to conduct an observation. So I did mine, looking at the differences and similarities between teenage boys and girls and the way they communicate. Which meant the ultimate place to observe this would be at a shopping centre.
It was fun. I went with a friend and we sat in the food court staring at people and vigorously taking down notes. She was observing couples and I’d be like ‘couple 4 O’clock!’ Haha we were like spies. I even brought a clip board folder and funky glasses to add the experience.
I found that boys don’t tend to stand around and chat and it turns out there weren’t any at the food court to observe. To for once in my life it was entirely right and ok for me to go out in search of boys and stare at them, taking in their every movement.
I ran into another friend who suggested the boys might be in JB Hi Fi the music store. That’s where all the guys were hiding. They were all standing around browsing at cds while nonchalantly striking up a casual conversation. So I pulled out my clip board and spied through the cd racks!
Don’t tell my teacher but I’m not so sure I learned that much. But here are some of the things I learned about boys
- Every single boy walks around with their hands in their pockets cuz they’re so cool…
- Boys don’t even shop or communicate, they just congregate in gangs and stare off into space
- Plenty of girls texted and talked at the same time but not a single guy did.
- Guys actaully play with their hair heaps!
- Gosh the ones that smiled were so much more attractive. But I guess you already knew that :)
Creepy I know. Call me stalker. Call me sleuth.
