[quote=Anonymous]Is it clear the boys are doing so much worse? My brothers, who are boomers, grew up getting in fist fights and ditching school. They all went to college and became successful people. To the extent that there are worse outcomes for boys now, I blame three things: 1) the college arms race which makes it harder to come back from immaturity in HS years (and the science is well established that boys brains mature more slowly); 2) video games and online porn both of which are omnipresent for teenage boys and basically addictive. I dot think parents are doing anything wrong, or at least not more so than what they did in previous generations. But those two things are major headwinds for boys. My own teen is sitting her eating his breakfast and face timing with his very nice girlfriend. [/quote]
