That said, people are getting caught up in the faulty notion that working class white tweens are out there stabbing girls over Andrew Tate stuff. That just isn't happening, nor is it a real threat on any broad scale.

True.

Cyber bullying is real. Though 13 yos calling 13 yos incels is not. That was a stretch.

The chaotic school culture and community was rampant with cursing and bullying. Yes some schools are out of control like that. Parents shouldn’t keep their kids there.

Going online all night is toxic. Nothing good comes from tween group chats or social media or surfing the web. Unplug the router after 8pm.

But constant cursing and then bullying really is the culture today in our schools (especially for these, boys!).

If you have a daughter, you absolutely must watch this series. I had no idea boys were like this until I watched.

Because they aren't. It's fiction.

Boys aren't a monolith, just like girls aren't a monolith. There are kind kids and there are mean kids, there are kids who are coping well with mental illness and those who aren't, there are good kids who get pushed over the edge and make a huge mistake.

Don’t be ridiculous! The incel boy phenomenon is very real and a very real threat! There have been documented cases of it.

This is why PM Kier Starmer is making the series Adolescence, required viewing in British schools to educate about the dangers of all these incels.

Your refusal to see what's right in front of you is dangerous. This is a VERY common trope these days. Are all boys? Sure, no, of course not. But seeing the signs before something dangerous happens to your kid is incredibly important to pay attention to.
