Has anybody ran into this problem with coed high schools is it different now?

I’m looking at Catholic high schools for my Class of 2030 kid, but he really wants a coed school. This concerns me because he’s an attractive kid, and people stare at him a lot. I’m worried that others will get jealous and try to knock him down a peg by bullying him. I’m thinking this because I witnessed it firsthand with my brother between 2004 and 2008. Because of this, I’ve tried to gently nudge him toward all-boys options, but he’s really adamant about coed. Has anyone else run into this?

I have not seen this at co-ed schools with boys. Ut's usually girls who are openly jealous.

There is a lot of anti-bullying training in schools now.

He’ll be fine as long as he doesn’t date his best friend’s ex.

If he’s so gorgeous, you think he won’t be bullied at an all boys school?

It shouldn’t be the end all be all but it plays a factor.

Honestly I feel like people are kinda missing the point of this post.

Honestly--it's important to learn how to navigate your relative level of attractiveness in the world. I went to a girls' school and I was super focused on academics. My friends were the other straight-A students taking the most difficult classes. At a coed college, I still gravitated toward friendships with the brainiest women and didn't realize that my friendships would bust up when I got more dates (I know it's more complicated than that but still). I didn't think I was unattractive but was also aware I wasn't a supermodel--so I'd never really thought about my looks. Turns out I was relatively pretty and had never learned how to be sensitive about it. Someone more intuitive and socially adept surely would have figure it out on her own, but it took me a little trial and error I'm sad to say.

Most of the "cool" kids are attractive. They are more likely to be the bullies than the bullied.

+1 the concept of the super attractive kids getting bullied is SNL-sketch material.

All these recent troll posts sound exactly the same.
