10. Girl A
Though the majority of teenage girls argue with their sisters, one moment of blind anger caused a tragedy for the next family. Back in 2007, a 14-year-old girl (who couldn’t be named for legal reasons) pleaded guilty to manslaughter after stabbing her 16-year-old sister during a squabble at their home in West Yorkshire, UK.
The older sister shouted that her sibling’s boyfriend “wouldn’t amount to much”, before the younger girl screamed “you’re going to get it” and plunged a carving knife into her back.
According to the girls’ mother, who witnessed the whole thing, the younger sister screamed “I’m sorry, I love you” after she came to her senses and realized what she’d done. Though the attacked girl was able to run into another room after, it was too late; the knife had punctured her lung and caused severe internal bleeding. She was taken to hospital but died a few hours later.
