[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s way harder to socialize girls. Boys even have chats on video game systems for the homebodies. There are so many sports and crafts to throw boys into and girls have some but not as many. If the girls at school don’t like DH, it can get lonely and isolating [/quote]

But yet girls don't shoot up schools and malls and churches and grocery stores.

It's weird that everyone is dumping on OP for just saying the true part out loud. Raising girls has it's own challenges - and no one is diminishing them. But it's not dumb for OP to voice concerns over what is actually happening - that there is a rise of young men who are isolated, depressed, not socialized and turn to violence. Do you all not read news? Is OP anxious? Maybe - but it's smart to consider how to raise boys in this age and how to foster positive living skills to cope and manage that exclusively affect boys and young men. I wish more parents thought about the distinct challenges of raising boys or girls -[b] because there are unique issues to deal with both - and exponential challenges to raise anyone outside the standard norms such as non-binary, LBTQ[/b], etc. [/quote]

Not as often of course but the Nashville school shooter was a girl. So it does happen. [/quote]
yes, and she was a trans, which is more challenging.  And ^PP indicated as much.

Girls are more social for the most part, and they aren't as afraid to show their emotions. Yes, girl drama is worse than with boys, but if the school is large enough, they can find a different friend group.

I'm the PP with both a DS and DD, and my DD experienced terrible girl drama, and my DS did not have any real friends till they were in HS.  Both were tough issues to deal with.[/quote]
