Japanese teenager's behavior

In Japan boys and girls are pretty much the same in what they do. Both of them go to club, karaoke and cinema, drink. Although it is thought that boys and girls are treated in some areas, smoking for women is seen more badly than it for men. One explanation for this might be that women will be pregnant and smoking is thought to be bad for their body.


As regards time, there are some differences between them especially from views of their parents. It would be apparent that parents are stricter with their daughters than their sons. When boys become university students, most of them are allowed to go out all the night under a condition that they tell their parents where they go and what they do there. Girls, however, are usually not allowed to meet their friends after 12:00 a.m. even if they do explain it to their parents. For this reason, girls go back to their house before public transports are closed, whereas boys stay with their friends at their friend’s house, karaoke or internet café after they are closed.

These differences are obviously derived from the aspect of safeness but recently more and more girls have been out during the night. This trend is sometimes connected to some crimes.
