10 boys vs 10 girls in an unsupervised house, videos of social experiment go viral; know result here

Videos of a social experiment done in the early 2000s are doing rounds on the internet. In the experiment, ten boys aged 11 to 12 and ten girls were left in a house for a week completely unsupervised by adults.

Notably, both groups were trained to cook prior to the social experiment.

The result of the experiment left social media users in utter shock as the boys became destructive and they mostly survived on cereal and fizzy drinks.

Whereas, the group of girls also displayed chaotic behaviour but were more organised; they cooked meals, cleaned up the house and managed things better as compared to the boys.

Reacting to the viral videos, social media users said, "So all of them took a cooking course? And only one group cooked? Only one group cleaned? Only one group organized meetings? Only one group delegated tasks? And that’s the group that would make terrible leaders because they’re “too much drama and too emotional?????"

Others said that this is not a fair comparison though.
