For parents with both boy and girl preteens and teens, which have you found to be easier or less of a headache to bring up?

I have a 14 yr old son and a 12 yr old daughter. Boys are easier. Girls have all that drama and attitudes. Makes me wanna pull my hair out.

Although I only have boys, I have lots of friends with girls the same age. I'll take boys anytime. They are more honest, straightforward, less manipulative. They also are not mean. Even when they are angry, they just state their feelings rather than lashing out and being hateful like my girlfriends' daughters.
