The belief that boys are more independent than girls is a?

is a lie,girls mature alot faster then boys so it makes us more independant,to wear boys need a little more of a push to step away from there mommys.

To the person above, "Independant" is not a Word. I believe the Word you are looking for is Independent. The "then" in your argument right before boys should be "than". Pay more attention in your English class "to wear" it may benefit you!:)
