[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 15 year old boy OP and I completely agree with you. Mind you these boys did nothing to perpetuate years of prejudice and oppression on girls, but are feeling the effects of over-correction in many instances. [/quote]

+1 I worried about my boy a lot when he was in middle school and was frustrated at the lack of programs specifically for their needs (tried and didn't like scouts, which was still all boys then). Freshman year of HS he was struggling in school and we ended up hiring two tutors for him who were both young men just out of college. They were such great role models for him and really encouraged him to aim higher at school. Put him on such a better path and he's doing great in college now. He also volunteered with our family at a regular church event that had him working with some older men at the church. Boys need good male role models (in addition to their dads).

I worried about my girl more in HS as anxiety and inattentive ADHD became apparent making juggling the increasing school demands harder + the hit on self esteem of existing in a super competitive and image focused high school. I feel like we're only getting back to a good place with her now that she successfully finished her first year of college.
