Hyperactivity among young girls when not controlled poses serious risks when they get older. As they reach adulthood, they tend to suffer from poor lifestyle by getting low profile jobs, being involved in violent relationships and early pregnancies.
Such observations were seen in a study involving 800 girls aged 21 who were identified to be hyperactive. This is quite strange since boys are usually branded as more ‘hyperactive’ than girls.
But this study by the Canadian and UK researchers and their findings reported to the Archives of General Psychiatry is a good eye opener. This will help to treat young girls who seem to behave like naughty boys.
The missing link for now is what’s causing such psychological disturbance in the behavior of these hyperactive girls. What kinds of therapies are necessary to help them behave like normal children?
Having no focus in studying as children are hyperactive, the pitfalls are usually getting easily distracted to moving things; they tend to procrastinate of what they need to do; they are inattentive to lessons in class and disorganized in their belongings.
More studies need to be conducted to identify solutions to hyperactive girls and for them not to have poor lifestyle when they mature.

Yes! I have seen hyper active kids. The problem start when they can not pay attention or sitting still in their seats.
That why they will not be able to listen and follow the instructions given by their mentors. It would result in poor marks in the class. And it may lead to low profile job as they tend to loose high profile jobs due to their problems in concentrating and paying attention to particular thing.
How upsetting, sounds very familiar
Probably down to family problems or a stressful memory that they never faced appropriately
