Girl Frenzy Chaos
KARE 11 News here in the Twin Cities reported this evening on a free promo concert at a local mall.

About 2,000 to 2,500 people, mostly teenage girls, had gathered for the show, billed as Jingle Jam and sponsored by the local Radio Disney station, KDIZ-AM.

An opening group's set went off with no problems. B5 went on stage about 2 p.m. and had started its second song when the show was called off, witnesses said.

"It just seemed like a girl frenzy," said Christopher Taykalo of Radio Disney. "A lot of young teenage girls who were trying to get close to their artists that they are huge fans of."

Seventy officers from 23 Twin Cities area communities responded, including units from the Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Minneapolis and Golden Valley police departments and the Hennepin County sheriff's department.

Shades of Bobby Soxers swooning over Sinatra, the boomers shrieking at The Beatles, or my daughter's generation freaking over the New Kids On The Block. We have always heard so much about male hormones. Is this what female hormones do?

I ask that in all seriousness. I have never read anything about what happens in teenage girls when they reach puberty in terms of outward actions. We have done a lot of research on testosterone in boys and what happens. It would be interesting to see if this kind of behavior/reaction is as hormonally linked as teen boys' actions are.
