[quote=Anonymous]I agree with PPs that the body-shaming and general rudeness needs to be addressed as unacceptable. At the same time, though, if this is new behavior it's coming from somewhere. Try to talk to him independently. You don't need to contextualize this in terms of his treatment of his sister (in fact, it's better not to). Just ask him generally how he's doing. Maybe broach it as an ask about how he's feeling about the disruption to school and life from Covid. Something's going on with him. A lot of it is probably teenage angst, maybe it's something more serious. But boys are often not taught how to understand and talk about their feelings, and that often comes out especially in teenage years when hormones make their emotions out-of-control. Reach out to him and start helping him build the skills to recognize and address his feelings without being a jerk...[/quote]
