[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I have four boys and yes, there is something that kind of breaks in them during middle school and remains broken during high school. They sort of seal up emotionally because it's just.not.acceptable. to feel things. It's strange and weird and basically the one thing that sort of opened them up weirdly was dating girls and even then it is sort of screwed up that they rely on them for this solely. [b]Their friends aren't safe spaces[/b].[/quote] Keen observation! Train your son how to be a good friend. I've done that with my sons and daughters. Now, even my boys can give and take empathy from others. And, yes, I do see my DD has male friends that call on her for that type of support because they cannot get it from friends. [/quote]
