One thing that you can draw from these two experiments is: DO NOT MESS WITH PEOPLE'S SLEEP HOURS. Literally, you can see that all the arguments & tensions come from others interrupting someone's sleep
Haven't finished this video just finished watching the other. It really is the most surprising to me interrupting each other sleep. From this comment I'm guessing the girl one did the same. Im gonna continue watch later
People's gotta get some rest
So how about water being dumped on your bed before u ever go to sleep ?
i hope their parents are watching this so they never get left home alone
I think they should have, as a group, established quiet hours. We did that in Girl Scouts on campouts. Those who want to stay up later still can, however they have to be quiet (whisper/soft laugh), and not interrupt the others who are already sleeping.
Those girls are damn lucky to have Sherri in the house. I hope she's doing well now. Her parents raised her right.
Ikr, I felt so bad for her. She didn't deserve all of that.
@@Pockymochi8 I don't think she deserved any of it.
Chances are she was abused in her home and that's why she acted more mature and adult. She had to. Her parents were the children in her home. She's always probably had to "be the adult".
@@Tropicalpisces OMG, if that's true I so hope someone reported it to social services.
But sometimes kids act this way if they are left alone too. They learn to be independent and fend for themselves bcse they can't depend on their parents. I have a feeling that Sheri make help take care of younger siblings. That is why she acts so mature.
I wish that Sherry would watch this video and read the comments. There are so many people supporting both her and her decision, she deserves to feel loved.
Maybe she will. This was in 2002, so she'd be in her 30's now.
Oh ny god someone find her please I'll really like to see what real life shaped her into
Yeah, except for the trolls who say things about her that aren’t true.😡
when sherri made the surprise for the girls and that one girl called it “weird” :( sherry was so sweet and responsible & they did her so dirty!
I know it was so sad. All of the effort she was putting in..
Yeah she did her so dirty
The only girls who really bullied Sherry were Gabrielle and Sade. They were utterly horrible to everyone.
Meanwhile, she would be the only one welcomed to my home. Perhaps Charlie too.
@@not.supermario exactly. Sade especially was a complete bully!!!
I applaud Sherry's mom for raising such a responsible girl.
Sherrys mom made her grow up too fast and obviously doesn’t give her proper praise
And dad
@@barryfamily2791We don’t know that for sure.
@@msch7620we don’t know that she has a mum for sure?
yeah, but she was also being taken advantage of. hopefully she learns to be careful about that
I love that in both experiments, they regret painting the walls on the first day.
Sherrie is clearly the oldest in her family I feel so bad for her😭
She's probably also the girl sibling
They should do a third test where they make 2 teams:
1. The most well-behaved kids.
2. The worst behaved kids.
Because I really think we had peacemakers from both the Boys and Girls.
Horrible when you feel so out of place and misunderstood in a group of kids/people
@@Harry-fk5of yeah like in high school
@@LilXancheXfelt
That tall girl was definitely not letting the others enjoy the experience, she was such a bully, the first girl that left was so sweet though.
Yeah
Yea I kinda didnt like her from the start always complaining
She dont let ANYONE SLEEP thats very telling thats some deep antisocial behavior there
imigrant…
Stop being judgemental. She is just a child with some bad habits esp not sleeping early. They other girls did a lot wrong things but typical of you to judge the black girl. Even the little girls treated her badly. Trained racists
I loved how Sherri knew that this environment is not appropriative of who she is so she left.
That shows how brave and comfortable with herself.. unlike Shede which is the complete opposite.
A girl likes Sharri, you’ll feel good that she will end up with someone who is appreciate her because she’s not afraid to leaving any toxic environment .
Dare I say, for those who have ever seen the movie, if this was Edward Scissorhands, Sherry would be Edward and Sade would be Jim.
Sade is just a kid and I hope she'll learn that you don't need to be a bully to get attention and love. And I truly admire Sherrie's kindness and sense of responsability, this girl is such an angel
She shouldn't have to bare the burden of teaching herself those things. It is a sad reflection of lazy parenting 😪
@Lettuce go That was terrible, I hope she got hers and learnt from it.
Sherrie isn't being kind, actually. did you notice how Sherrie attempted to enforce her very rigid ways onto the other girls? She was shocked when that wasn't well received, and had a meltdown as a result (wanted to leave immediately) of not being able to cope with that.
Interestingly, most comments are praising Sherrie but don't mention Charlie. Charlie repeatedly tried to protect others, prevent escalation of conflict, and yet never forced the other girls to do things a certain way. She only stepped in when conflict was foreseeable.
@@llIlIlllII I agree Charlie’s a kind and positive girl ❤
@Lettuce go It would be very interesting to know how all turned out.
That one girl was literally a problem the entire time. I would've been swinging if my sleep was disturbed like that
exactly
lol I'm only 6 minutes into the vid and I'm laughing at your comment "That one girl..."
...there are 10 girls

Some of the things they said were so out of pocket it caught me off guard 💀
RIGHT
I know right! O_O
Right, the two girls were talking about the other one being suicidal and to check her wrists 😭 wtf
@@des.mezzzzwhat about their song at 43:02
THE SONG THE THREE GIRLS PERFORMED AT THE END OMG
Sherri packs up
the girls: “No don’t go. I’ll do your make up so you can stay longer”
Sade packs up
the girls: “You’re doing it for attention. Don’t mind her girls, she just wants you feel bad for her.”
I’m happy they know the difference between someone being mean and someone who is genuinely kind.
Most people dont like sade but she is actually one of my favourite
@@Sienna-i3twhy 😨
@@Laufeylover11 why?
Guil powaaa
I think people are actually missing what's really happening here.
Sherrie wasn't being "genuinely kind". She was acting bossy and rigid; she seemed to expect the group to be thankful and grateful toward her, and when the other girls started to make fun of her, she refused to participate any longer. There are several times before she leaves when you see her obviously excluding herself.. and then other girls come over and try to console her or act protective (such as when she's sitting on the staircase).
Kids aren't stupid. Sherrie likely knows doing this will get her the attention she craves; when she couldn't get it by being the 'mother' figure, she switched to moping.
We see Sade *instantly* mimicking this switch in a bid to wrest back that sympathetic attention by locking herself in the bathroom, and later, by packing up. These two girls are very different on the surface but underneath, they both crave attention. Their main tactics for getting it are just different.
Aw, Sheri is such a lovely young girl, i feel so bad for her, it’s awful watching her be so stressed in that environment, it seems she was naturally quite advanced in being responsible and knowing what it takes to run a house hold and make a community work... but perhaps realised all too soon that the chaos was completely uncontrollable and this caused her to withdraw and become stressed, perhaps that type of chaos was not at all what she is used to and become a little too much for her harmonious nature on top of the attitudes some expressed around her.... big ups to her parents they seem to have brought up a very intelligent and caring young girl!
Agreed. Her parents should be proud.
not what she is used to?! NOT WHAT SHE IS USED TO?! what do you think kids are usually subjected to in the way of stress ON AVERAGE. well its NOT THAT
@@johnnyace1300 They are implying that idiot. You're just repeating what they said but getting angry at them. You must be special or something
She needs to get careful in what relationship she gets into the future because her partner can take advantage of her kindness.
@@MayaMaya-tj7kw This was filled in 2002. She would be in her 30’s now lol.
The one girl who comforted the crying girl after the 2nd one left melted my heart. How kind and empathetic she was towards the crying girl. Sherrie was my favorite, however. She knew that you could have fun without being disgusting. I get why she left early.
Sherri is really good at setting emotional boundaries. She knew that wasn’t a good place where she was being treated decently.
Totally
@noraw.2647 Mainly because Gaby called her useless, I think that did the most damage.
So girls woman are very very mean to each other none of the boys quit they stayed strong destructive yes but they have honor and respect inherent in boys. Woman are pure evil even when a great female leader is good the other girls will turn on her cause woman don’t like having one leader a winner they want a group boys have no issue with a boss the best leader and mother was Sherri and the girls bullied her for being a boss and she left. Woman are awful creatures The boys thrive under leadership
When that one girl said that Sherri’s party room was weird I could tell just from her face that she wanted to cry but she handled the situation great
I felt so bad for her the entire time, I don't even know her and I wanted to just pick her up and hold her. my heart broke for her
Exactly. She tried her best to take care of everyone and she was ignored. She made a surprise for all of the girls and she got called weird. She tried to portion out the food so everyone would have the same amount and she got called annoying. Some people just won’t appreciate others.
So would crying not bn "handling the situatiom great?" Cause you're implying that and I'm confused by it.

I hate that one tall girl. She was a bully and ruined the experience for everyone. She was the reason some girls left. 😠
It's a weird thing to hate an 11 year old kid.
Sadé was so rude for no reason the entire time. Poor Sherrie was stressed the entire time she was there 😭
Yea she’s a bully
@@StayWoke1900. Sade is the tall girl with the necklace?
@@25kjixxyYes she is
@@25kjixxy yeah the one whi didnt let them sleep every single night
There is a reason, her minds underdeveloped and she has less of an ability to ‘check’ herself than say, an adult. Children/adolescence sometimes resemble the mind of psychopaths, because their frontal lobe is “weaker”, or has less executive function so to speak.
Seeing how Cherie progressively became more and more withdrawn 😢 it’s like she went through a depression
Like really
Being responsible is a good virtue.
But without other people back her up, it becomes an endless and thankless endeavor.
@@eksbocks9438 That’s largely what teaching has become. Interesting parallel.
But she was Smart enough to know wenn is enough, good for you Cherie you will get further because you know who you are you take your desición with determination.
There's a basic principle of psychology in that: Those who care the most will always be hostage to those who care the least. In other words, the one who steps up to do the cooking and cleaning will be missing out on fun to take of the needs of others and will be both taken advantage of and then disliked by whomever is trying to take the role of leader in the group. Without order (equal division of tasks and mutually agreed consequences for not completing said tasks), a predictable level of chaos ensues, as this video demonstrates (and, if they did the same thing with boys, it would surely be even worse).
I like how watching the girls is like watching a bad TV drama show, and watching the boys in the same environment is like watching a documentary about wildlife on Animal Planet, haha
my thoughts exactly
fr
I think for girls that don't cope with drama or wind up bullied in the company of girls I like my odds of bringing order in the boys wild kingdom as I never found it safe to so much as be on a sports team as a girl despite being a good athlete that actually kicked off the problem
I don't think it's surprising that it worked that way but girls learn younger than boys how to use their drama on adults and each other which can be horrible in way less time than 5 days,
The girls would def be the ones to survive on a desert island 💜
@Souxie123 I wouldn't put money on that. It's easy peasy when you have food and shelter provided for you. In the wild is another story. Check out "Can women survive better than men. The Island with Bear Grylls".
Sherri and Charlie were the best!! Sherrie for cooking the first meal and Charlie for trying to ease the tensions between all ten of them.😊👍👍😎
Imagine if they were put in a team with the most well-behaved boys.
All the dishes and chores done. Without any adults telling them to.
🤔
Charlie, maturity far beyond her age. Well done, parents! Well done Charlie!
She's about 32 yo now, omg, I hope she managed life well, too.
Yeesss
Charlie who made the first trouble to take blanket in others room ?
@@joshuaalfaro6184when did she do that she tried to return a blanket
Sheri is a girl who had to grow up way too soon, as much as I admire her maturity and independence, I makes me sad that she feels so much responsibility at a young age
Thank you for this sensible and very true comment.
Yeah that’s how I was that’s how it is being the oldest
I don’t think so some kids are just more organized and prefer structure versus chaos . She might be introverted as well which is why she stayed away from the girls after feeling rejected initially .
@@R_love45 Absolutely correct . People make remarks that are not correct . and have no Qualifications to be writing missives they do not understand Child Psychology .
You feel sorry for the girl most likely to succeed.
Even though that girl group is chaotic, I appreciate how a few tried to comfort Sherry when she was sad. She's a smart girl and I admire the fact she was able to set boundaries and then leave
this tells so much about how girls and boys being teached different while growing up. girls were mostly creating things and organizing, while boys destroyed everything and separated to two arguing groups. but i noticed that girls' arguments were more deep and Cade even tried to manipulate girls, while boys were fighting with eachother without a reason and their arguments didn't last long
Argument didn't last long? The boys didn't organize even until the end, sim was bullied until the end while the girls solve it with talking together
@@madao2794 can't not agree, bullying on sim was awful
@@ezclaps3775 it's not really about the genders. it's about ways kids being raised. do you know what gender socialization is?
@@6hs2mm All due respect,I think you misunderstood her comment .She was basically saying the same thing as you. The gender comment was sarcastic.
@@lisahughes8779 didn't ask
Sadè has little to no empathy. I fear what she'll be like when she gets older. Charlie is a wonderful little diplomat. I'd love a follow up of this is 10 or 15 years to see where these girls are .

Sherri's sense of self-preservation is impressive. When you're a reserved child, a situation like this would be so unsavory.
There always gotta be the bullies🙄 I love how the girls realized she was also attention getting, and walked away, hopefully she will try and be a bit more kind, and mindful of others feelings in the future.

@@2mac_mini952 what do you mean by that
@@LitoMyer I mean that black people have a tendency to be violent and reckless, as portrayed in this video

I was so upset when that girl left, and even more so when they crowded her talking about ''Oh ShE SlIt HeR WrISts.''
Unbelievable. She was the sweetest and most clean. That tall girl is a bully.
I find it fascinating that the girls felt so distraught everytime someone left. They treated it like a death. And very subtly, like a betrayal - which is very interesting because you see similar feelings within (young) adult girl groups as well, like if a friend steps away or differentiates themselves from your group, you feel both a sense of betrayal and grief
You start to see your group as a family and if someone leaves you see it as disloyal.
They all went into bonding mode each time they drove someone away. I refuse to put a positive spin on that. The implication is this is a chronic cycle they will repeat: To refresh that delicious "entire morning" of tender group cohesion, they first need someone to leave.
it felt like watching monkeys grieving fr
Sherri was totally me as a child. I feel empathy for her, they did her so dirty! She was trying to do nice things for the girls!
Same
Same. Makes me so sad
Ikr she was such a good girl While others were making mess and Doing nothing. She deserves better
Same :(
Ya, same. Enneagram 2. Try to put our value out there by being helpful and doing things for others, but when our efforts are rejected we feel lost and not a part of things.
The bullying is crazy and the treatment of the cat is concerning.
Most of them were fine in how they treated the cat, they even took a vote. The one girl who held onto it was the only concerning one. They didn’t seriously mistreat it or hurt it or anything, really just childish misunderstanding of how to treat an animal
in comparison to how the boys treated the hedgehog in their experiment they were very good to the cat. in the boys case the crew had to intervene to stop them from killing the poor thing
The myth that adult cats are ok drinking milk should end
@@orishahar The boys never actually found a hedgehog.
@@marcoarenaza54 These are 10 year olds, not vets.
Sadé: "i hate it when people judge too soon"
no gurl they didn't judge too soon, they were getting fed up with your attention seeking and keeping them up all night even tho they want to sleep. hopefully she's not like that anymore as an adult
I want to see a therapist react to this.
Exactly they were talking about Ed,sh, suicide, and in they’re story telling they were talking about a woman enjoying getting r*ped. Mind you they are literally not even 14.
@PsychologyInSeattle !!
Why
@Woodchipper Worshipper still says a lot about how they are raised and trauma of the parents
😂
The fact that they would talk about Ed, sh, suicide, and SA at such a young age and know what it actually meant is really sad that they know about all of that so young
They are 11-12 they should know what that is. If they know puberty and stuff they can know abt that, it’s something that kids this age should know😊
i did sh at 11-12 and so did a few other people i knew. its a tough age :(
When that one girl “said he raped her and she actually enjoyed it” my jaw dropped to the ground lol
@@abbyjoy1921 why did you sh it lol
@@starzz_andre yes, many of girls now start their periods at 9-10 these days. All girls need to know about predators before this age, sadly,
Imagine bullying everyone around you and then being upset you got called out
The girls that left early were the smart, self aware ones.
I think they were all as smart and self-aware as could be expected for their age except for Sade and Gaby. (Sherry had an extra level of it.)
I think it’s very telling that during their play on the last night, when they we’re imitating what they see as a parent, Sadé was telling the others to act more angry and when it was her turn she started shouting very hurtful and aggressive things. What all these girls have displayed during this stay is learned behavior. And maybe Sadé is just a product of her household.
I agree with you, all the top comments pointing out how much of a bully she is, but doesn’t seem to trace back that children at this age is a reflection/result of their household. I hope she’s in a much better place now mentally.
I was shocked when Sade started saying things about suic1de & to check Sherrie’s wrists when Sherrie was just bummed out wouldn’t move, and everyone was worried about Sherrie.
After when Sherrie left Sade started locking herself to the bathroom to get the girls attention & pity. It’s like she felt that since everyone was so worried about Sherrie leaving, she wanted their attention too.
I’m glad all the girls especially Charli caught on that manipulative behavior and called Sade out.
All of them are. All of them we’re displaying what goes on in their households
@@supersucks The way Sade reacted, asking if Sherrie was suicidal was alarming. I know ten or eleven is not too young to know about such things, but ... ten- or eleven-year-olds shouldn't even have to ask someone if they're feeling that way.
Her manipulative behavior makes me wonder/worry what kind of home she was raised in. It's concerning, all of her behavior.
In the end you can see that sades mum and her sister look very different to her. It might be that she is living with a foster family and has some troubling past
The girl that did the cooking and cleaning was the only one who actually has some sense, and the fact that she was crying in the end is quite heartbreaking.
looks like a traumatic response, not sense.
What's funny is in both the boys and girls episodes it's ONE person causing 90% of the problems. Michael for the boys and Sade for the girls. The only difference being that Michael just destroyed everything while Sade was just mean girl bullying everyone. Get rid of these two and both of the houses would have functioned so much better. Really shows how one bad apple spoils the whole bunch.
Then once they realize everyone hates them they throw a pitty party for themselves and start crying themselves, little taste of your own medicine goes a long way.
Michael was a troubled kid but he wasn't the only pb. The other kids were violent, especially those of the "big room".
@@jeannette3138 yeah I mean I agree
With the boys, they were all pretty bad. They would have been fine if they would have slept and ate food besides cereal and sugar. They were just hungry and tired
For Sade I feel like there was more than we were let on, probably things behind the scenes.
take away that one person and another will eventually fill the shoes of that person
Sherry was the most well behaved, shows the really good and pure kind in the society. She's the kind of daughter anyone would want on the other hand Chardie(tall one) wasn't brought up so well by her parents she keeps locking herself in the bathroom which shows that this kind of behaviour works for her at home. She talks about brutality which clearly shows she not growing well.
judging by the family who were there to meet her at the end; I think she may be adopted.
Sherry was right to leave.
No father in the picture for her.
She ripped azz in that sleeping girls face ... The boys didn't even do that lmao😂🤮
She was quite bitter
They should leave her locked in the bathroom so they can have peace.
I LOVE HOW ALL THE GIRLS WERE PUTTING SHADAE IN HER PLACE BECAUSE SHE WAS SO MEAN TO EVERY ONE IT WAS atrocious
*Sade
You love how they ganged up on someone who clearly went into this with different expectations? How no one listened to her points or tried her meal? They completely ostracized one person who quite obviously has ADHD. But yes, let's just keep piling female hate on a girl who's a bit different. Try talking to Jesus and watch it again with a shred of compassion.
@@scrossman27 She doesn't have ADHD you idiot! The experiment requires kids that doesn't have mental or behavioural issues! I swear you zoomers would always excuse bratty behaviour with ADHD.
@@scrossman27 I don’t know about that. Soaking other peoples beds with water, constantly waking everyone up in the middle of the night and be down right mean at times.
@@codylockhart4076 tbh everyone in the house was bullying and messing with eachother it wasnt just sade,i think sade should seek professional help when it comes to her feelings if she thinks being mean is her way of gettting what she wants at that age it could possible mean something in her household that could be bothering her. we have to remember that these are children with child behavior, so ofc their gonna want to play or stay up late.
“She’s packing for attention” they read her like a book 😂 that girl was horrible
The term I've heard used is "attention needing, not attention seeking." Your viewing of the situation is very basic and not really understanding of other things that might be going on in these children's lives. Sade brings up suicide a lot for her age. I think she's most likely had a traumatic childhood and that comes out in her actions.
@@stoopidapples1596yea. But in the end still doesnt leave and doing it for attention didnt she
@@chewbucket I didn't say she wasn't "doing it for attention." The problem is we're assuming that attention seeking behaviour is just a sign of an inherently bad character and not indicative of a backstory which explains the behaviour.
@@stoopidapples1596 right but she doesn't need to be mean to anybody. I hope she got help as she grew up
@@darajoyce5514 we can say it's not determined that she acted that way, free will is a different argument. The fact is that if you are abused in some way that will affect your behaviour, and the way in which you are affected is not at all your fault.
It would be great if this social experiment was done in different countries around the world! What would we learn about how we raise our kids in different cultures?
Now that would be interresting to watch!
yesss
Japan would be incredible
That would actually be fascinating!!!
I think it would be eerily similar
nobody gonna mention how the one girl said "check her wrist maybe she slit them" and the other girl said "maybe she is suicidal" like what is wrong with these kids
Being aware of another person's state of mind is the exact opposite of "wrong".
I was just saying to my wife, the girls got real dark real quick with those comments, compared to the boys...
Girls are mean asf.
@@liamvermaak982 indeed
@@liamvermaak982I think it’s mostly because girls quickly learn about these things as soon as they’re older and boys don’t rlly
Sherry is so responsible for her age, I felt so bad every time she cried 😭
I felt so bad every time she was mother not a girl 😢
Although Sade was a bully and had an attitude majority of the time, I think it has a lot to do with how her life at home is. The attention seeking behavior of locking herself in the bathroom and not talking is something i used to do and i dreaded going home. I also think her story of a man r**ing a woman should be looked into, she seems a little too young to be having those thoughts in her head without life experience
right
Yeah, she prolly didn't get much attention from her parents.
This
Yeah I was very surprised with that statement
she's really disturbing.. no one should even be saying that, not even as a joke.
some of the maturity level in these girls are impressive
They are aware they're being filmed for television.
@pong: Your argument is lacking. The boys know that they are being filmed just as well as the girls. If you were right, both geoups should have similar behaviors, but they don't.
@@07Flash11MRC The boys plus Sade in this.
It’s so sad how they didn’t want the first girl to leave because they had no one to make them food, she was so nice
Sade didn’t care, though, and I’d be surprised if Gaby did either, considering she was the one who called her useless.
Charlie was the leader y’all thought Sherrie was. Charlie had excellent emotional intelligence and was able to lead and follow. She was diplomatic, social, empathetic and responsible. Sherrie, while helpful, folded as soon as she was met with resistance or a mean person. Also, they’re literally all kids. There were no “bad apples” just kids in different stages of development.
my fav!
These are the kind of traumas that makes us who we are as adults. We are seeing this through a documentary but most women will be able to identify with at least one girl.
I agree so so much. I was a mix of Sherrie and Charlie. :(
Trauma only weakens me and stunts me as I grow older. Idk how it helps people
I guess everyone can identify with at least one of them (at least since we have mixed classes)
@🔥 Lil XancheX 🔥 if you can get through trauma then you can get through anything
It's been more than 21 years, now, since this was filmed. I wonder how any of these girls feel about the time they spent there, now that they are adults themselves.

I found one parent who years later said looking back, they should not have allowed her son to participate. If she had to do it over, she would not. But she did not elaborate on why. And her son said he was embarrassed at his behavior and would not have wanted to do it if he had the choice again. But he didn't elaborate either.
I just wonder if people who knew the kids/families watched then the families caught some back lash over it all. I'm sure the parents were paid for the kids to participate.

Children reveal their parents' instruction or lack thereof. Eating ice cream for dinner and drawing on the walls is 'acting like children' However, displaying verbal abuse and manipulation is a reflection of something deeply concerning.
they werent acting like kids, they were acting like demons
@@CosmicKungFu leave it to people on youtube to make an armchair psychologist diagnosis on a kid based off of a highly edited 40 minute video

You say that, but as I imagine most people have seen and experienced - the home life and guidance that the parents provide heavily affect the outcome of the children.
Kids will be kids, yes. But there are normal child behaviors and then there’s abnormal. If they’re acting out, misbehaving, bullying, verbally abusing, needlessly teasing despite the fact the person they’re teasing is getting very, very upset…. Something is up.
Could be undiagnosed mental stuff, or most often just bad parenting, and/or a rough home life.
I sincerely hope that anyone watching this, anyone witnessing the more disturbing behaviors of the children aren’t thinking, “Oh no, that’s fine that’s how kids are”…. No, I hope they’re reflecting on their own parenting methods and the behaviors of their kids. In case any improvement should be made. Better to nip the weeds early before they’re set in.
No they act like woman catty mean can’t work as a group evil towards a boss leader and make them cry. The boys yes are messy and destroy and hunt and get wild but they never quit or cry and work as a group and leadership and will go to war if need to make sure But the girls manipulate and rip each other down from the inside even though the house is clean
Sherri is literally so sweet you can tell she’s the oldest in her family and she was raised right the other girls were so mean to her for no reason
I think she lacked validation from her mother
Sade and Gaby.
no, she wasn't raised right, looks like she was raised comfortable for her parents. I'm not sure, but it looks like parentification.
Honestly I just feel bad for that poor cat, they seemed terrified.
I know right? The cat was obviously irritated and such especially when it's being handled so aggressively with the way it also ran off
I feel bad for the cat, it was being harassed but still didn’t bite or scratch the girls. What a good cat
You mean Justine, she was the one who grabbed it.
By Justine.
@Willpower-j9l Does it matter? These are 11 year old kids, they're never malicious, but I wish the camera people would've stepped in.
Sade is clearly the mean girl who bullies everyone, but when the real 'victim' reacts she would play as if she is the victim.
I hope the adult Sade is watching her younger self now and doing okay.
Let them come to The country ❤
I hope she is better and sees in a different more mature light now bc I was mean when I was little mainly to my cousins and younger sister and as I grew older even as a teen I was totally not like that and I thought, why would I do something like that?? It’s so mean
The girls did so much better than the boys 😭😭, the only problem was Sade and I think she had a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes, I hope adult Sade is ok. So much better than the boys trashing the house and trying to kill the hedgehog. Also Sherry? I hope she wasn't parentified too bad, she acted too responsible for her age.
I think the boys did worse because society doesn’t teach them to be as open and honest about their feelings. Also, males are usually the more aggressive gender in most cases.
@@lisahughes8779 Nahh That's Not True . It's quite opposite when it comes to men with women
@@lisahughes8779 I wouldn’t say Argessive, Boys have more energy and strength than girls.
@@itsmeskater5089 yeah and it can come off as being more aggressive. Pretty sure the commenter didn't mean it in a bad way, just how most people would take it when seeing wild preteens
Girls has much more power one tried to rap me
Sherrie: "Don't eat it"
"Why?"
Sherrie: "Its not going to be edible"
"Why?"
"Look at it"
Lmao Sherrie saved her from eating something disgusting 😂
Dangerous, too!😂
Justine the brunette is so empathic, whenever a girl cries she is always comforting them
I love how this was more entertaining to watch than anything, the boys were just frustrating. There was nuance in this with arguments and conflict resolution instead of just quarreling and destruction. There was drama but at the end they all figured it out and had fun at the end
I haven't finished this one, but it's genuinely fascinating that you're talking about the boys like that when they also "figured it out and had fun at the end"
@@spitfiremase not all of them. There was still animosity amongst them by the end of it and some of the kids looked relieved to be out of there, specifically those from the quiet room. There was no conflict resolution happening
@@elliondecoteau5985 There definitely was conflict resolution happening. Maybe because i was a young boy at one point i interpret their actions differently, but some commentary i've seen about the boys has seemed totally unrelated to what actually happened in the video.
@@spitfiremase where exactly was the conflict resolution? Please give examples
@@elliondecoteau5985 the weird intervention they had about Michael, they came to decent conclusions and Michael, while bummed out about it, perked up once he realized people did want to hang out with him.
When the quiet Sim was hit in the face with a ball a 3rd kid stood up for him and it didn't happen again. preventing conflict counts.
The only time conflict wasn't resolved on screen was the 'siege' between the Quiet and loud boys really upset Robert for a while, who didn't really play anymore for the rest of the video. He separated himself. The other quiet kids, after hanging out with Robert for a while, went back to playing. Robert is probably the only one who held any animosity by the end.
The boys were certainly more destructive, they made a whole game of breaking the house at the start to see if it would get the camera crew to stop them, but there weren't as many quarrels as people are suggesting. (banter where everyone is smiling and giggling that doesn't escalate isn't quarreling) Both groups had a lot of restraint for being 11 year olds who don't have total grasp of emotional regulation.
That little girl, who wants to go home: she’s the ONLY one with ANY maturity
That is literally the definition of me in that situation
they are little girls. you wouldn’t be yapping about maturity if this was the little boys. they are acting their age.
Well, she has the most anyway. Sade has the least.
Not the ONLY with ANY. But she DOES have the MOST.
I think it's really interesting how much you can tell about the lives of these young girls.
Sade was so loud and so mean, but when it came to playing authority her interpretation was very telling.
Sherri as well was very telling in how much she felt like she had to parent the other girls and clean up.
I'm not saying that they have abusive or terrible families, but it does give us a look into the lives of many young girls in general, ignored and neglected, and yet also controlled and criticized for everything.
Frankly though sade is just a child and so the way she is is determined by the parents, and frankly again most of the girls were already jerks to her (like how they all said she was annoying when she was right there in the room) so most people would be upset about it aswell
like your comment, thank you!
Crazy to see how the boys basically trashed the entire home and wrecked eachother physically but the girls wrecked EACHOTHER mentally. Like they kept the house messy but not trashed….like the boys atleast. HWOEVER their fights were deeper than the guys and caused emotional responses(sherri becoming quieter)
I feel like the girls were mentally damaged from there household itself and this whole experiment added more trauma it made cry like crazy as someone with ocd it damaged me as I felt the girl who left... She just wanted to keep the house in check keep it clean... Keep every one happy yet every one misused her it was heartbreaking...
And the funny part is that very few of the boys seemed to actually have remorce or resentment to one another. It's like they fought at the begining and ended up being actual friends. The girl on the other hand where more organized and had a system but it completely failed because of the emotional agresiveness they had. I think though they are kids this talks a lot about gender diferences.
I relate to Sherri: not quite sure how to join in with everyone else so I contribute by doing supportive activities in the background.
Poor Sheri. I wonder where she is now. Simple life skills in my opinion she did by far the best out of these girls from what I’ve watched !
I was Sherri growing up. At 10 years old…I was taking care of my sisters, cooking, doing my laundry and absolutely everything that had to do my school….never had any help from my parents. I had very selfish parents and they neglected me a lot and so I became very independent at a very early age. I cleaned, cooked and organized without being asked… I always had not just my room but my entire house in order. I recall being very sweet as a child….but I became very serious as a teenager… and that’s what happens when you have adult responsibilities as a child. I hope Sherri is living a life of fun and excitement and I hope she always puts herself first. I hope she is happy. ✨✨✨✨🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
The fact that she knew when to leave is a great indicator of her behaviour in future, I think 🙂
thank you for your comment!
hope you find a way to live life you want and take care of yourself at first 🙏🙏🙏
(I'm learning it now)
Did no one else find the suicide comments weird?! There may have been only two, but the first time some was shocking. They’re 10! Why are we talking about suicide and cutting wrists?!?
Media shows it
i guess kids were less protected from sensitive subjects in the late 90s - early 2000s w
Woman girls are just awful and manipulative and drama and the black girl shocker was the worst to the pretty white girl yes the boys destroy things but they still work as a group and have war leadership girls hate having a boss even when Sherri was a great leader but woman get jealous and want a group think not one boss
I fell so bad for the first girl who left she looked like she wanted to make friends but also didnt want to make friends because it looked like she was uncomfortable with this whole situación
22:16 the two girls that were trying too cheer sheri up were also the 2 nicest girls in the house, and im sorry to say this but sade was one of the biggest brats in the house for being mean to everyone and letting them do everything and feeding them uncooked food, she should’ve been grateful for sheri saying that the food isnt edible cuz she couldve got really sick and even get the other girls sick too
And Gaby was the other for calling Sherry useless.
It would've been nice to have some follow-up interviews or like exit questionairres to get their actual reflections and impressions of it all too
That tall girl with the silk pajamas is that one friend your friends with for years but don’t like
The three who seemed to care the most about other's feelings were Sherry, Charlie and the girl who tried to hide the cat. Wasn't surprised to see those two comforting Sherry on the stairs :(
Sherrie dear is such a sweetheart. Bless her precious heart
Justine really was quite mean at times but seeing her go get that girl and comfort her after niki left was really sweet. I hope this whole experience taught all those girls how important being kind to one another is.
Its a lot of drama but it is so cute how they always wanna fix it. They kind of want everyone to be on the same level. Always when someone seemed to separate or behave kinda weird they go and talk to them alone and try to find out how to fix the problem of the person.
So many commenters really loved Sherrie, but honestly, I was really worried about her. She was the only one of the girls who could not make a connection with her peers, she did not engage in play (which is essential for the brain), and she basically was not able to have fun at all! That was really distressing to watch and I wonder what her family life was like.
Because every time she did Sade or Gabrielle went out of their way to be snide to her and make her feel unwelcome. They bullied her.
I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s the child of a narcissist tbh. People pleasing, lack of confidence, withdrawal…
The reason why she couldn't connect to them, is because she was Way Ahead of them. She is intelligent and shows great organizational skills. She even made the play room. I'm sure she can have a lot of fun. With true peers, who are not out to disrupt or bully. I'm sure her family life is nurturing and organized as well. She'll be doing well in life, for she knew to set boundaries and left a toxic environment. You really need to worry about the wayward behaviour of the rest of them. Just because you find paint, doesn't mean that is for on the wall. If you can only have fun, when chaotic, then there's a real problem.
@@msch7620 Very wrong assessment. She took the lead in showing responsibility, probably well prepared for this stay by her smart parents. She has a skill set far advancing that of the others and the self-confidence to show it. She was able to make something nice for all, including herself, when creating and decorating a play room. She only withdrew, when she learned with what a bunch of lunies she was spending the week. And then she knew exactly how to set healthy boundaries, which no child with narcissistic parents can. This girl comes from a healthy, stable, enriching and more peaceful environment, where children are partakers in everything and develop real well.
@@gardenjoy5223 Maybe you are right. I should have used “she could be”. I don’t really find her that confident though. They were so hostile to her for no reason.
Have you ever wondered what goes on when your kids go to a summer camp? This is just a piece of it. 🤣
And with regards to Sherri - she was probably more used to being around adults rather than kids her own age. I've worked with kids like that - they can be sweet and helpful, but they seek appreciation and empathy that kids their age just can't provide.
Yes my daughter is socially further than her peers because she is homeschooled and had some trouble with friends who did not keep their word or agreements. I figured these children learned socially from kids their own age, while my daughter learned social behavior from adults mostly. Anyway its fascinating
Or school😂😂😂
I like how in both documentaries, one of the first things the kids do is paint the walls.
Paint and large brushes were provided for that purpose. Pretty sure both groups were encouraged to paint walls as it makes excellent video, and some boys seemed to do it grudgingly.
Interesting different activities provided, like boys get mountain bikes and girls get trampoline.
Even though Sade was annoying I feel bad for her, clearly the home life is not right, I use to talk about grotesque things like that too when I was a kid, just because I was exposed to this as a child. Have to also remember she’s just a kid and seems like she has ADHD too.
@ineasud possibly
hopefully she got help in her teenage/adulthood years
@ineasud it could be easily any illness
@ineasud Personality disorders aren't usually diagnosed before adulthood, because a child's personality is what it is, developing.
Every child craves attention and seeks validation from peers, it's natural. Some children just show it better than others, and from an outsider's perspective, some children need more than others, because the lack of it at home is not visible.
Also there's no overrating of ADHD lmao, if anything it's less understood than it should be.
It actually really looked like it. She reminded me so much of Michael from the boy's version, just as a girl, so much more talkative and less yelly lol
This (and the boys one) experiment reminds me going to summer camps around same age: thrown with a bunch of other kids, getting to survive two weeks (well… with grownups supervision). I can see very same behaviors, like ousting bullies, choosing leaders, even throwing a bucket of water on someone’s bed
It's not a slumber party until someone cries.
I wish this was an ongoing reality show it’d be so interesting
Poor Sherry 🥺 She is most likely the oldest in her family. Her parents have either tought her well or her parents aren't very involved and shes become the parent to her siblings. Regardless, poor girl. I really think if Chardi said sorry to Sherry and genuinely meant it, would made a big difference. Chardi had THE WORST addittude! I don't understand why the girls who want to stay up don't just hangout in the living room, DOWNSTAIRS!
Because Sade didn’t just want to stay up, she wanted to annoy all the others and ruin the experience for them.
@@amazinggrace5692 it was about bullying and control. I also wonder if Sade was afraid of the dark.
@@fionasmom6254 She clearly has problems. Hope she gets the help she needs
true!
As young as they are you can already see certain typical characterics in them. Like the peacemaker, the quiet one, the follower(s) and the antisocial, bigmouthed, in need of all the attention one. And by that I do indeed mean Sade. Keeping a whole group(!) loudly awake night after night, is antisocial behaviour. Plus getting yourself locked in the bathroom for hours a the time is manipulating and very childlike. You can already see so much difference in characters and upbringing at this young age already.
«Very childlike»? Yes, they are children!
And you, as an adult (I suppose), should know better than to make this sort of a comment. The girls are old enough to read. Shame on you.
@@slektektiv and you, as an adult (I'm having doubts about that) should know that people have different opinions and point of views. Shame on you to react so immaturely. I hope you won't be hurt as much as these teenagers 'tender souls' after reading my previous horrible horrible comment....
Yes! Sade’ in particular should be ashamed of her behavior. Evidently she behaves the same at home, when told the mess was bothering everyone she said “it’s not bugging me, it just reminds me of my bedroom”, dismissing everyone else’s feelings. Not to mention dumping water on the beds (along with that other girl), and the rest of her behavior, taking the duvet off the girls in bed and keeping everyone up (purposely just bc she wasn’t being entertained and said so) screaming and yelling, blaming, bullying, causing constant fights. It makes one speculate about whether or not she has a personality disorder as an adult.
The dark ones always cause trouble
Oh wow the child is being childlike 🙄
The one girl is so sweet, cooking for everyone and cleaning up 🥺
i sympathize with sherri so much i almost cried seeing her lay alone on the trampoline
It's weird how this is nostalgic for me. I was the same age in 2002 and I can remember all the shenanigans me and my friends used to get into. I started out as a Sade and grew of that really quickly with a lot of guidance at school. Wherever Sade is now, I hope she's living a peaceful life 🌹
Ew
@@生き甲斐-z5hew to you
"OH MY GOD A CAT"
"This is our new cat from now on"
Really got me 😂😂😂
I think this was made in 2002, they should get all of the girls together again have them watch this and then see their reaction
right!
I wonder what they are all doing. What statistics they followed. Like did any have a baby as a teen, any killed somehow, any in prison, etc.
I am surprised that some of those girl didn't end up with food poisoning.
Jessica singing Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Coat for the talent show is SENDING ME!!!
Love how the group checked the bully in there. Of course she went on to act like a victim. Hopefully she's turned it around for her self.
because the way they treated her will definitely do that 🙄
Sade is a nightmare on every level
I agreeeee! So many red flags, therapy should be an option.
They always make a spectacle of themselves.
She was a child most kids act like that
@@smack861s No? Most kids in this video weren't as attention-seeking and self-entitled as her. Kids are immature, but Sade was more than just immature.
@@dinoknightzDon’t forget that every child acts according to what they’ve learned/experienced in their life’s. She ain’t a bully for no reason.
Sherie's mom should be proud. She is such a responsible young lady.
Sade's behaviour is typical of children who didn't get enough attention from their parents, they tend to act out and or try manipulating for attention. The other kids knew exactly what she was doing when she was locking herself in the bathroom, they'd seen the behaviour before, maybe some of them tried that and was called out on it, they knew the cure was to ignore her, that's probably what their parents did. The other girls were much more mature than Sade, even though she was taller. I don't think she is cruel at all, if anything she'd be more of a detriment to herself as people often are when they do all the wrong things to get attention. I hope she and the others made good choices for themselves and have productive and prosperous lives.
No she’s just a mean jealous black woamn of pretty white girls it’s no coincidence the black girl was mean to the white girls
