Least the boys actually got to sleep when they wanted
Also the boys or at least Sim got homesick earlier as well
+bvbxiong watch the boys and girls one, pretty much it depends on who raised them at the end of the day.
Why isn't it available in my country anymore? I watched it fine a few days ago but now I can't...?
replace 'tube' with 'pak' in the URL and you'll be able to watch it :)
Girls: let’s arrange a talent show
Boys: im stuck in the drawer
yea lol
@sassy sparkly unicorn 2408 no one cares

Girls are more mature, it's a fact.
I don't know why everybody's getting so mad lol.
I like how the narrator narrates this like a wildlife documentary featuring Meerkats.
Caitlin poling "war has been declared against the two halfs"
hahahaha
Caitlin poling ikr 😂😂
Omg. I never thought about it that way. You just made my day👌🏻
Caitlin poling lol! I like Sim!
Parent saying "you did really really well, fantastic" after seeing the footage qualifies as a crime in my opinion. Like tf.
Exactly. Shameful parents!
Surely the parents were told to not overreact to the state of the house, no matter how bad it looked.
I think that’s because the violent little wraiths survived and there was minimal bloodshed.
@@sutty85 There were no rules, these comments are such buzzkill.
@@Getalong-my1cswell that just shows that all theses kids have no respect lol because not one of them said let’s not do that but instead join in instead lol
Having watched both experiments (boys and girls) the take away I have is that whilst the girls were acting like they finally got the taste of freedom, doing things without the fear of being told to stop, the boys acted like they were desperately looking to push every limit to see if anyone would intervene. They were hoping someone would tell them to stop or what to do next. While the girls just wanted to experiment and be creative
I think it's more that both parties just wanted a release from being told what to do. Kinda why they elected a leader role in both sides. But both then got neglected really.
I mean they elected a leader day 1😂
@@GamingWithHajimemes I didn’t think the girls elected a leader. They voted on who they would kick out 😂
@@oceanmoonbelle true but that kid who did the cooking kinda became the defacto mom leader till she felt unnecessary and wanted to leave.
Ypu really took this as an opportunity to promote your misandry and feminism
if you put a bunch of drunk dudes in a house the result would be about the same
You have me dead 💀😂
It looked like a crack house at the end.
That show would be called drunk men alone
imagine if it was teens alone like 5 girls and 5 boys but no wifi they would die
lizziekitty yep
the surprise at the end of the show should have been the producers telling the boys that now they had to clean the house
Right
This needs more upvotes
@@MarieAntoinetteandherlittlesis you did not just say that
If my child was part of this I would have made a party with the parents to make them clean. Watch those smiles come off their faces 😂 maybe I will be cruel parent 😂
I couldnt agree more
Oh my gosh, George was an absolute sweetheart towards Sim, even saying "I'm so sorry." when the others didn't leave them alone in the tent.
Don’t think he’s a sweetheart for that, what would’ve been nicer is if George talked to the other boys and make them understand what they’re doing is wrong and then they’d stop. Saying to Sim “I’m so sorry” is just empty and pathetic
@@especiallyninety_751 i mean... he's 12. and even as "the leader" there's always going to be the subtle fear of being "overthrown." it's easier to try and have everyone on your side, he can only do so much, they would have pushed against his wishes, suddenly say "hey, I want to be leader, why do you get to boss us around?"
@especiallyninety_751 They’re children do you really expect them to listen? Especially boys.
Felt really bad for Sim cleaning all those dishes alone and being talked about by the other boys in the beginning.
me too
He was not doing cleaning in the beginning that made them turn against him, but he gained respect for cleaning all by himself. In the end you see that he just suffers and doesn't fight anymore even looks how the boys destroy everything
That was really sad. But i can image that it kind of helped him to get a short break from this household while doing the dishes so he did it slowly and steady.
Sim is a good boy. You can see he is raised to be respectful and to acquiesce to authority, It's also just not in his nature to be wild and reckless like most of the other spoilt boys.
Yes they should’ve split the work between all of them so it’s even, instead of leaving just one boy to do it, especially in that mess!
Girls: nooooo we have to set the cat free his family will miss him!
Boys: KILL THE HEDGEHOG!!!
I was so relieved when they said the crew intervened, I kept thinking "no no noo they're going to kill it do something!" lol
This is how we feed you since you can t hunt ore kill anything but need meat everyday !
@@jellyrun1 they have meat inside the house, and people in England don't it hEdgehog. I think it's more about the violence of boy education
@@sarahton270 - I think you're missing the larger context of jellyrun1's point.
Attacking animals is actually essential for civilization, it's called hunting, and this is what this boys were demonstrating indirectly
They should do this Experiment again but in a different country because culture plays a big part.
They should
yeah would be interesting. plus UK kids and teens tend to be less respectful. from what I've seen doesn't reflect them all. US kids would probably be similar but not quite. India would be quite interesting!
@@ryanmeade6742 yeah, I've realized UK kids are quite an act.
@@okayHeLL lol
I so agree, we need more of these from different cultures. As a psychology student I find this kind of experiment so fascinating
the sheer amount of anger i would feel in that house is unbearable
Ikr I could do more at 10 than all of them combined, actually useless
It would be gun
This was the most horrifying documentary I've ever seen. Every psychology class ever should be made to watch both parts of this. One thing I'd like to point out is how the boys were congratulated by their parents, even though they had seen everything that was done, and the girls parents were just glad they were back and safe. Striking.
What??
This comment... Gold. I believe exactly the same thing. Boys and girls are NOT raised the same way by many parents. Boys are not nurtured enough, while girls are in a way, overprotected. Many Boys lack boundaries because their parents fail to teach them properly about them. The parents did not scold the boys because in a way, being destructive is what a boy is expected to be. Utterly shocking.
mate calm down your acting like they were killing each other 😂
The parents reactions is really interesting
@@Kyle-pg4pn that could have happened. They tried going for an animal, right? That was the prestep!
They elected a leader, then formed a mafia. I love it.
Oh yes, because the mafia is so darn lovable
Yess
@@withgoddess8029 Well it makes up a large portion of the economy. So its semi lovable.
Hahaha
I would say Communism but ok
Girls home alone: noooo don’t go who will do the cooking.
Boys home alone: who agrees that Michael should leave.
To be fair, the girls did discuss voting Sadé off the show.
They didn't like sade and were much worse tbh, it seemed like they left because of her and she almost went home because of it. But the boys tried breaking windows and killing hedgehogs for no reason.
Idk why I thought this comment was so funny. Take my like
as he's tied to the chair
@@jenniferlove7396 "killing hedgehogs" is actually the hunting instinct kicking in.
Wow George looking after Sim is weirdly adorable, also his manners are immaculate. Instead of saying "buzz off Sims sleeping" he gave them a choice of freedom and said "do you have to?" Still allowing them to also do what they want. Also Michael was sweet too, staying on the walkie talkie even though he got kicked out of the tent 😆
He’s such a sweetheart fr parents should be proud
That was sarcasm not choice/freedom.
"Do you have to?" Is British for "F*** off"
It would be cool to see this across different countries and cultures. That would help answer the question of whether this is a result of nature or nurture
Both 🙂
It would be the pretty much the same result no matter what country you do it in.
@@katepausig8562 Well yeah because kids are naturally playful
No, I think japanese kid will be better
@@nadiafighting789 American kids would probably be the most destructive lol
It was the small things that really made George stand out. How he stayed up till 11 so that Sim could sleep, and how when he was passed the first meal he decided to continue passing it down so that everyone else would get it before him.
I think he passed it because it had some gross stuff in it
Y’alljustmad that’s awesome
Y’alljustmad ❤️
I wonder where these guys are now
Future perfect husband!
Haha I wonder how many neighbors called the cops when they saw a house full of shirtless ten year olds being followed around by grown men with cameras.
Best comment here
PissShiversss haha
And Chris Hansen will come out and askEd the camera man’s to sit down
How do you know how I live??? Oh you mean in the documentary, right. Never mind.
Lol
The fact that they don’t like their own mess yet don’t bother to clean it up and then aren’t made to clean anything up in the end and their parents tell them “good job” is exactly why so many women end up with selfish man child husbands they have to divorce.
Oh right, the 50% of the human race that exists for the last 300.000 year, decided that in the last 60 years they suddenly are strong independent women!
After 300k years of men making everything easy.
🤡 All these feminist clowns all skip over the part where the first question of one of the moms is ''why did you trash the place?''🤡
Lol 😂😂😂😂
Brother they're 10 years old. How were you at that age?
@@shibinstanley4841 I didn't destroy things and harm animals mercilessly, and my parents definitely didn't congratulate me for doing so.
@@deezed6478 women have to divorce so they can get half of the property and money and then run off with another man, just to reoeat the cycle🤣 pathetic
I feel so bad for Sim, he was one of the best behaved but pretty much kicked out of the group as the outcast. Also notice how the quiet boys room was a tad bit cleaner than the loud boys room.
They really elected the right boy to be the leader. George was so kind to Sim when he knew he was feeling down, I would be really proud of him if he was my son.
Preach
Very true
Yeah, all the other kids were always running rampit through each day, not caring about others feelings, George was a true leader because they all knew they were too wild to be the leader.
insticts
Yea that was good, but in the end the kinda forgott about it
Rare footage of the team 10 house
Beau Artzer Lol
Haha so true!
Beau Artzer 😂😂😂😂
Lol true😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
The parents reactions are the same reactions some pet parents have with their puppies like "omg awe you dug a hole, youre not supposed to do that but so cute! good job!!" and is how they end up having behavioural issues in the future🙄 Itd be interesting to see them do another video together or how theyve turned out since growing up
Yes i was shocked too. Some of the parets really looked disappointed or shocked and there are the parents smiling "ow look at that how did you do it" i would go as far and say that was one of the loud kids parent.
Watch the series 7up it's similar as it follows several boy students every 7 years for the rest of their lives and it shows how they changed
Im upset the parents aren’t mad their kids destroyed everything. TEACH YOUR KIDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND BE TRESTED THE WAY THEY WANT TO BE TREATED
Not that deep dude.
calm down they are just boys
Totally agree I wouldn't have trashed the house as a kid none of my friends would either
Keep in mind it’s a ton of strangers and at first they couldn’t tell who did what
They probably just kept friendly for the cameras
“Sheer hunger had pushed the boys into culinary creativity”
*Dips french toast in water*
Underrated comment
Pours milk into an uncooked egg 😂
LMAO and I'm pretty sure that was just burnt toast
@@pyromancer1109 I use cream in eggs, whip it together before cooking. Tastes good, and they're creamy and fluffy.
@@Pteromandias exactly in omelette it is something you'll never regret
"By mid-day, sheer hunger had pushed most of the boys into culinary creative."
Then there's that one kid deeply confused on how to use a peeler on a carrot..
I laughed so hard at this
mind you, the narrator said they had cooking lessons before the show started XD
did they teach them how to open the cereal box or what XD
I laughed too hard at this comment
wahahahha
lmfao
I hate how the parents encourage the boys and say “good boy”. You watched the whole thing live. How tf can you commend them for that
Seriously, they are just letting them be proud of it. They know they won't get in trouble. Its just showing them how far they can push boundaries
because their child endured it there for 5 days
calm down they are just boys, dont spoil their fun
@@LondonMoneyCashEnterpriseyou are the exact reason why these kids act like animals
@@LondonMoneyCashEnterprise Surely you're being sarcastic? They were acting truly deranged.
Georges parents should be proud of the kid they raised. He has a kind soul
Boys: smear random colors together
Girls: paint flowers and their names on the wall
*smears red everywhere* “BLOOOD!”
😂
Evolutionary
I know right? Lol.
and then they get sick of it a few hours later
It will be much easier to burn this house to the ground, instead of trying to clean it.
Yeah, they demolished it
I'm sure Michael would have been up for that.
It was gonna be knocked down anyway
Yea with kids in it
@@wierdo-jc7xv I wanted to say that
I feel so bad for the neighbors 😞.
Me too
Came here to say this lol
I feel so bad for the boys. It's like they don't know how to care for themselves or each other properly. Makes me feel really bad.
I feel bad for Sim and Michael. Though Michael was very michevious and a nuisance, he could've had Au/ADHD as well.
Hearing the parents say good job.. made me realize the bar is really low for boys.
💀
they are just boys
@@IkesPimpHand i’m not a feminist. there was no hatred. We should raise all children with knowledge of how to take care of themselves. have a nice day.
@@IkesPimpHand I’m talking about the instances in the video. I already know the issues of men are overlooked. Both genders have their issues and i won’t downplay any of them. This is also not the thread for this argument. Also, regarding certain things like taking care of yourself and hygiene the bar is low for the male gender. Have a nice day.
@@celestialmorpho ok, you're right. Sorry i freaked out. You too have a nice day
I wonder how different it would be if Americans did this
I don’t even wanna imagine dude
Probably somewhat similar. We Americans don't really develop the traits unique to us until later. Also leader selection would probably have been more turbulent but the leader would have been respected way more.
not as wild
Fights, fights, fights,fights a more fights, gang war
@@eloise1351 I just wanna say Americans do have accents
girls: I'mma lock myself in the bathroom.
boys: FACTIONS.
YES
oh trust me, girls can build factions and alliances, too.
@@safe-keeper1042 thats not what happened in the girls documentary laksjdlkasjda
@pebzee their factions would be different though
@@scurry357 Okay but would they still be factions? yes.
I love how real and raw this is, not overly commentated or edited
Because it's a English doc rather then American I love your films, TV shows etc but American companys are terrible at documentaries.
@@deanmullen1882 ahah im british, i never realised there was a difference until now!
Man, I absolutely LOVE experiments like these. There's just so much primal instincts we can observe and study on human behavior, kinda like Nat Geo... except for the fact ANY adults being in the house to monitor makes this a curbed study or a daycare/school with a negligent caretaker/teacher. Sadly, this kind of thing will probably never be repeated either - at least not for as long as a 5 days (anything under a week is kinda meaningless though). Last I heard, the kids' parents regretted letting their BOYS do the experiment (the girls' experiment were fine).
They must've been embarrassed in their regrets 😬😮💨
Wait really!... pleaseeee tell me why the parents regretted it??? and how many??? and who are them??? also... where did you knew that, give me the link if you have too after you answer... i hope you will reply i'm interested to know lol
The boys were just like beasts the girls behavior iwas much better
@@michaelliketz5858 not really
@@yeyosilver7067 yeah somehow I just watched both of them and the girls were pretty off the chain too and they also tore up the house
Very interesting
Boys : let’s scrape the paint of the walls with a butter knife
Girls: let’s get a sponge , hot water and soap
LMFAOOO FR THO
XD yeah
Ameerah Wilson this had my dead 😱😱😱
Well at least they tried to start organizing more.
Ameerah Wilson girls are more mature
Cleanup crew must have been paid a fortune
Smoothesh the house was going to get knocked down after this anyway
Would have had mold from the water guns
the only way to fix this is with a bulldozer XD
@@meepmoopiethe3rd or a couple dozebn piles of explosives in each room but the smell tho
Each one of those boys should have been made to march right back into that house and clean every last lick of scrap and then repaint it. That was a disgusting display. As a father, I would have marched MY son right back in there to clean up. ALSO, they actually WATCHED this horror and didn't ream their kids butts for treating each other like that? wow... what failures. And I'm a 6th grade teacher and I can tell you something........
I'm amazed that their behavior devolved in the presence of the cameraman...but I suppose the power the group dynamic is powerful. Also, its amazing how spot on Lord of the Flies got it. I would really like to see an interview of the same boys years later and how they remember this experience and maybe if there were lasting effects....
yess i'd like to hear their opinions on their actions before and how much they've grown as a person
I felt bad for the group of quieter boys
I’m surprised none of them chose to go home, and only one called their parents. I think the only way to enjoy staying there for 5 days was to be very loud and disruptive. For the quiet ones, it did not seem like a very nice experience
Have all the grown up kids come back and live together for a week again
Actually that would be very interesting.
Graceful Raven Gotta think about the midlife crisis
123 4568 i swear their like 14-15 now not 30
Chiaki Nanami it was recorded 2002 I think so they are 28/29 years old now
They are about 29 now, since this was from 2001. You can tell because one of the boys painted 2001 on the wall.
I feel bad for the neighbors and anyone within a 5 kilometre radius
Lmao, yeah 😂.

I know...right.
All of these kids are good kids. They should have added a trouble maker to see what happens.
7:57 I love how one of them told another not to fall asleep with chewing gum in his mouth. Shows concern for his friend 💙
Definitely something his parents have mentioned to him
the quiet boys have been raised well, the other boys are outrageous how can a parent treat their child so bad they act like this?
damn someones parents beat all the fun outta them
>NOOO how dare kids act like kids and have fun???? they are supposed to be quiet and behave like robots
@@donbolillo3812 frr
Aw the mum said, "Did you make anything? No, only broke things?" Meanwhile the girls made cards for their parents.
The girls were actually impressive with everything they accomplished. The talent show, the assigning of chores, the way they regretted drawing on the walls and actually tried to clean them, I didn't expect them to thrive (and they didn't), but I'm surprised by how well they did, all things considered.
@@safe-keeper1042 i think the thing that messed them up was the one girl who was so nasty the whole time. She kept gossiping and bullying for attention, which influenced the other girls into being bad. When she wasn't in charge and without her the girls were lovely and comforted one another.
Then the boys make a government ment and have a civil war
@@oaurnaur sharty 🙄👹, and when she started packing and the girls called her out saying she was looking for attention lmao

Omg George was so mature compared to everyone else when he was protecting sim and making him feel ok I was like dang he’s gonna be a good man when he’s older lmao
Yeah, I noticed that too. He noticed he was quiet and not fitting in easily and tried to include him. A sensitive boy.
Robert too
You do realise this was filmed in 2002
Avery M this was in 2002 btw so he is like 26-27 now

Like elections, it's more about image than competence

Yeah that kid and George are the only ones who stood up for others
But he has no soul
it was so sweet.
George is so kind. A real good guy, same with Robert and sam and luke have a good head on his shoulders as well
I would not have been so proud if they were my kids. Some of those parents are the reason those kids will be horrors as teens

LETS DESTROY EVERYTHING!

I watched the girl's beforehand and can I just say I'm impressed. Despite them being messy and chaotic, they actually bothered to clean and try to restore order on the FIRST day.
Yeah I thought the same
Same! The girls were so chaotic throughout
ya i watched the girls one too and i thought this would be worse but this is so much better and organized.
The problem is that the girls had an unruly older girl who distressed everyone while the boys had an unruly youngerboy which was easier to handle
@@KCDCish for real, I feel that if sherry was older and sharde was younger, it would’ve been a lot less chaotic

Can we have more of these. You could go with, American version, African, European, Canadian etc... I swear people will watch it. In fact you could market it like an actual reality show. Make a series.
Manu Shapopi this was filmed in 2002 so I'd imagine the outcome would be different if they did it now, they'd all just be on there phone and it would be boring.
Manu Shapopi yes PLEASE
Yes! I would totally watch that!

Manu Shapopi yes
George’s parents should be so proud of him, you can see he genuinely cares and was so good at always trying to include everybody. The way he helped Sim not feel so alone was so sweet, even watching over them until they fell asleep outside. I know this is years ago but I imagine he is still the same!

@@derrickforeal how you knew that?
@@derrickforeal sure this is a stupid question and I will look like a mark but are you for real? I was wondering if they maybe ever did an update in the kids after all this time. Where did you get your info IF you was being serious and not a smartass lol
Brats most of them. Wow.
Crazy to know that these boys are around 30 years old now as this aired in 2001. And so are the girls from the Girls alone documentary from 2002, thats here on Yt as well. I wonder how they all are doing as adults now? I read an article from 2009 that stated a lot of the boys whom by 2009 were around 19 regretted being on the show and some said it caused some emotional problems but thats it. If anyone wants to read it just Google Girls alone documentary. It's like the 3rd or 4th link. I can't find more recent updates about the boys, and nothing about the girls.
I think I found what mean it was close to top
This makes me scared and eager to have kids at the same time. I hope if I have boys they aren’t like this. It’s my duty to raise them better but when they’re left alone it’s all up to them!! Scary. Probably how parents feel when their kids turn 18
at least no one got murdered

@@bootybob6372 :/ most kids know you don't hurt animals- think it's one of those instinctive things & any decent parent would certainly teach their child that animal cruelty is wrong just as most kids know you don't talk to strangers or cross the road without looking for example. I dunno- guess it's a different generation to the way me & my friends were raised :(
LittleDolly Doll I see your point I’m not gonna lie and diminish the person I used to be but I would hurt my animals because of my own issues even though being thought right from wrong. Today after high school I plan to presue a degree in bio then ship off to vet school
Poor Sonic.
Both great activities
George was such a class act! Note how @24:16 during the communal dinner he instinctivelly passes the plate someone gave him to the kid at his left!
There you see how the boys just suck up to the horrors and not take the step to move out. They just waiting for it to end. I felt so sad watching this. I hope the guys get some therapy dealing with the aftermath so the scars can heal. Great experiment, people need to see this.
Edit: the amount of bandages at the end 😁 almost all the kids
Girls:
organized meals, entertainment shows, comforting and supporting one another, and cleaning up after themselves.

They all stayed until the end.

@@thesleepyduck8368 Believe it or not, most boys that age don't have insanely developed emotional intelligence. Boys in my neighborhood used to use turtles as frisbees and didn't think anything was wrong until a few years later looking back on it.
Why does Sim have to clean when he didn't do any of the mess.
BTS Jkjhrmsjvj you've just summed up the feelings of all wives and mothers.
People all need to clean after each other regardless of who made the mess because they all live under the same roof. Otherwise you end up with one being taken advantage of and cleaning up after everyone.
you say he didn't do any of the mess but didn't he eat? As far as I saw all he did was wash dishes and he would've dirtied at least 1/12th of those himself had he eaten by the time he actually got around to washing up so don't say he didn't do 'any' of the mess.
ARMYYY
mooglemania I saw him eat Ice Cream, Chocolate, Chips and sweet corn. I'd say he made more like 1/20 of the mess
mooglemania and they were assholes directly towards Sim so really they should've done it
I feel so bad for the camera crew, the neighbours, sim, the people who had to clean it up, and most of all those hedgehogs:(
Melanie Horst i feel bad for the parents
Could you give me the timestamp of the hedgehogs

38:30 “STOP IN THE NAME OF THE DOOR”
I don’t know why but that was hilarious
this is one of my favorite documentaries. never gets old
Damn this is literally lord of the flies. George is Ralph, Michael is Jack, Sim is Piggy. They were chaotic at first, then started to focus on “survival” after a little bit until things just spiral into chaos. They split into 2 groups and some end up “betraying”
@Sammi Zhang Have you ever been to the UK?
@Sammi Zhang lol what
@Sammi Zhang if you say so
Interesting, I'd say that Michael is more like Simon, and Daniel is more like Jack. I also think Robert acts similar Roger.
My english teacher is making us study lord of the flies and she showed us this and compared the characters and situation
I'm not gonna lie. Michael takes his punishment like a boss.
How so?
@@kenzielynn1047 he doesn’t ever cry or complain he just plays along, however I do think he may have some type of cognitive disorder
Unpopular opinion but I love Michael! He's a troubled little runt
Did u see where he just walked by the kid on the bike and he kicked Michael, n he just gave him the stank eye n kept moving.. of course he had no chance in a fight with that kid, he probably knew that!
@@dawnb2125 yes I noticed that! I was really surprised with his reaction, I wonder if he would of fought back if the other boy was weaker?
This video reminds me how much I love being an adult and having adult friends
We need a follow up on what the boys are up to nowadays. Such a great series.
My bet is that 80% of them are in prison or deep trouble. My vote is on the vegetarians. They generally make it as being vegetarian already shows a level of care above the rest.
the poor 4 quiet boys, all they wanted was fun without violence and their tired of the other boys
They must be genuinely traumatised dfor life now.
That’s actually quite dangerous excitement
If the boys didn't know cameras or adults were around you would have had Lord of the Flies and the house burned down before nightfall.
Ever since they said his name was sim I kept imagining him with a green diamond over his head
Pink Em’n’emz 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
Pink Em’n’emz SAME

Michael was clearly on the spectrum and needed the most support. Without consistent structure kids with SEN self-destruct, as was evident.
Care how? How do you stop these behaviors othet than discouraging them? Ive been picked on and bullied by one of these adhd types and all I got was his parents making excuses for his behavior.
I lowkey felt so bad for Sim because they made him do the work when they mostly made the mess, and when they didn't want to sit with him made me so sad. But I did love the fact that George was always comforting him and being his partner in the game it was a great choice to make him the leader he did a great job.
when your mom leave for 5 mins
No thanks. I choose life.
I don’t have a mom
@@dante2965 deeep
My mom left me for a little bit to go help my neighbor clean her car and I came out side with my foot bleeding and she didn’t believe me until she saw the blood on my hands and a little bit the floor
Dante Villarreal sorry my dude
Just finished watching the girl's version and it was very interesting to see the differences. The girls actually showered, cooked and cleaned, but were also bent on never letting each other sleep. The boys were immediately set out on authority and pecking order while the girls had no desire to hold authority over each other, but loved to gossip and bring attention to themselves. The boys weren't intentionally callous or cruel but they never noticed or cared for long when they did, while the girls where consciously mean and cutting but were quick to comfort and apologize. Neither boys or girls held grudges for long, but boys did seem much less sympathetic to each other and wanting punishment while the girls kinda huddled after a fight. The girls= emotionally mean. The guys=physically aggressive. I was actually surprised it was the boys who ostracized one from the group and broke into factions against each other. Overall, girls would probably survive longer just on the basis of hygiene, food and not beating each other up x'D
It's also interesting how they treated the most troublesome child of their group. Girls being mean and cutting but still staying together with her in the end while boys tried to get the authority to make Michael calm down. Also dividing into grous vs. staying together. And girls being way more touchy with each other than boys. And boys being way more resilient to the bullying when some girls quit early for the same reason.
You're right!
mekalunia The girls divided and then came together while the boys became more and more divided.
Also the girls cleaned for the sake of decency and expectations while the boys cleaned out of necessity or fairness or to please the group.
Natalia If I was there, I'd always take a shower and brush my teeth. I can't handle not :/
This was very interesting (and entertaining) to watch, remembering what I was like at 11, how they seem to have endless energy, just being messy, yet charming in a way..... just being boys. I would have loved something like this as a kid - I hope they take something from this as they grow into men.
I do feel for Michael... he definitely has some problems, someone needs to work with him, get him some meds if needed, to help him. He was trying to fit in, but the other boys (being kids) couldn't have known what he really needed and it was sad to hear them talking about how they could get him kicked out.
A microcosm indeed.
Well this was 6 years ago, and now they are 17-18, im curious how they are doing today
They would end up divorced because their wives would hate to clean after them.
The end of this with the parents was very telling. They know darn well their kids(not all) were capable of destruction, but acting all surprised by what they witnessed. Part reason why we are living in a state of chaos right now. It starts in the home.
I'm not surprised it turned into Lord of the Flies...I just want a kid that says "you're out of order, mate".
One does... the very first time a large ball is pushed into another. After that...yeah, Free For All
Need a Conch up in here
i've got the conch ket me speak!!!!
How about a kid who surrenders and goes to join the bullies.
I liked George, you could tell he took his responsibility seriously and tried to actually help the kids like Sim who weren't fitting in well. But rude kids like Michael and Daniel literally can tip the balance and cause expedited entropy.
Liking your use of the word "entropy". You get bonus points just for that. :o)
expedited entropy
I liked Robert
Feel so bad for sim, all the boys sort of turned against him apart from a few of them
It’s interesting to see how they all behave
Well yeah because everyone tried to clean up at the start except Sim who kept making excuses thats Why he had ti to alot later on.
@@albinwallen634 not really, they were all making mess and they just bullied sim into doing all of the chores
@@albinwallen634 They established a pecking order quite quickly (electing a leader) and made the "weakest one" do all their work for them lmaoooo
Incredible how at the end they all shuffle out & go to their respective parents as if everything was just perfect
"How can you eat chocolate at 9 in the morning?" "Because im starving." "Ah, fair enough." That made me laugh.
Me too. 😂God bless the wee lads!
Starving cause apparently no one knows how to make a simple sandwich lmao. I’m agreeing by the way, I think it’s hilarious.
What’s that time stamp
I don’t blame em
if this was done today then there would be so much dabbing
