[quote=Anonymous]I have 3 boys and try to be very mindful of raising them to have empathy, kindness etc.  but they will at some point turn into horney insecure teenagers.  As a female I caved to peer pressure at that age to do some things I didn’t actually want to and I also did some mean girl things to make myself feel better about myself.  Nothing extreme just recognizing the struggles and insecurity that comes with being a teen.  I worry about how this plays out for boys - sharing nudes, pressuring for physical to go further / ignoring signals someone is no longer enthusiastic, etc.  we of course talk about consent but how do you really get through to teen boys not about the extreme stuff which hopefully we have covered but all the less extreme areas where peer pressure are hormones are pushing them towards jerk actions (I’m not trying to minimize actions - I just don’t want to conflate guys like the senior jerk-bullies that pressured me into strip poker as a sophmore with rapists which is a whole other category)[/quote]
