[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole thing is really the boy’s fault.[/quote]

He’s just a kid, also trying to figure things out. My 14-year-old son recently had his first “girlfriend.” It lasted a few weeks because she (and her friends) came on really strong, and he freaked out. He clearly wasn’t ready for some intense relationship. He just had had his first requited feelings for a girl.

When he confided in me that he wanted the situation to end, I told him that the kindest thing to do was end it nicely but definitively (rather than slow burn pull away), and he did. Then all her friends started a text thread (with him on it) where they went off on him. They said he never even liked her and that he was obviously gay.

Let’s have compassion for all these clueless kids. [/quote]

This is all part of the issue is social media now.  But it also goes both ways.  Many boys come on strong and expect the girls to be a certain way and do certain things with them and if told no, will dump them and tell all their friends they are a slut.  I mean you just gotta teach kids to not involve others, stay off social media, and stay true to your values. [/quote]
