Adolescence is a fictional story. FICTION. Please stop elevating and referring to it as some sort of immutable fact to base your life outlook and opinions from.

Just remember, tween and teen girls also publicly laugh and giggle to publicly insult the looks of boys as well. Most often girls publicly insult other girls. Would you be so outraged about that? While still not ok, any normal adult should be able to view such adolescent behavior with a larger perspective.

Further, barking or howling at a girl commonly means the girl is hot and the boy is barking and panting as if he were a dog seeing a treat. I’ve never heard of this being used as an insult. In any case, while not every girl appreciates a cat girl, many do. It’s still not against the law any a one time call is not even considered harassment. Keep perspective.

Let it go. It's not worth your brain power to figure out why.

Like every quote like this, and it’s the majority of the thread, is so so so f’ing telling. A bunch of women saying insulting a girl publicly as ugly in front of others is just a “quirky” boy being “weird” because all kids are weird.

A lot of you need to watch Adolescence and understand that’s what’s up. It doesn’t mean your innocent boy will kill someone. The point is that most parents like to ignore stuff and excuse stuff right in front of their faces and go really deep in saying that unacceptable behaviors are okay. They insist on the same publicly - this board isn’t private. It’s pushing forward a norm that hurts people and displaced the basic responsibility for parenting somewhere else.

Your hatred for boys is disturbing. No one is saying it’s ok to bark at girls. NO ONE! No one is excusing it!!! It’s just not as serious as you want to make it out to be. Get a grip!

Read the thread.

I don’t hate boys. You’re a mess and a liar. Go watch Adolescence- Stephen Graham made it for you.

I have read the thread and I watched the show. I stand by my comment that you hate men and boys. You are seriously disturbed.

Go watch it again, boymom. Boys insulting girls in public is nasty. Try and do better in your parenting. It’ll be very hard for you, of course; you’re not good at it. But try.

It didn’t sink in the first time. Maybe by the 5th viewing something will penetrate.

Go work on your hate of boys. Do better at parenting your daughter not to turn out with the same vile feelings about the opposite gender. Re-read my comments that no one is defending boys offending girls. Maybe after you read it five times it will penetrate.

I don’t hate men or boys. It seems you think all boys bark or all men think this is ok. Want to attack the dad who posted that he’d have a serious talk with his teen boy over this? Does he hate his son? Does he hate himself?

You’ve got a ton of problems and no doubt your kids do, too. Not my problem, nor my husband’s, my DC’s, my dad’s, my brother’s, nor that of any of the men I’m friends with. You’re really a rather sad mess and certainly a terrible parent. Bless you. Let’s all hope you somehow grow.

Show me where I said it was ok, you hateful moron!!!!! I keep saying the opposite but in your hateful agenda you can't deal with what I'm actually saying and have to make shit up to make your point. It is all the hate blinding your ability to read? Who attacked the dad that would tell his son not to do that? Certainly not me.

You hate hate in your heart and you need to work on. You know nothing about my parenting but your setting and hate is spiling over so you have to attack every parent raising a boy. You are failing your daughter by modeling this hate. You are failing your son (if you have one) but hating him. I hope you can find some peace and work on this evil inside your heart.

That term, “bullying” is so loaded, and quite frankly, dangerous. Especially in the context of school officials.

Are you aware of the myriad studies demonstrating a disparate racial impact on BIPOC students when schools place labels or allow others to make accusations of bullying, which are so often unfounded?

Yet you just tossed it out there, nonchalantly.

You should think long and hard on what sort of things you type and publicize, PP. you do not even know the youth in question here.

WTF is a bipoc?

There’s a woman here who trolls relentlessly on the “Dear Colleague” letter recommending that public schools cease suspensions for most things because of disciplinary disparities between white students and students of color. She has an ax to grind and brings this up constantly across the board.

I’d bet that the nasty kid barking was white and so was the girl. The mothers here - it’s obviously mothers, “you know nothing about teen boys” and others defending the boy are willfully blind to a boy really being cruel to a girl, you know kids are just kids, boys have all that extra energy, you gotta excuse it right mama bears??

The dad who said he’d make sure his son never talks to any woman like that knows what’s up.

NP. Pretty sure it's the abbreviation for "Black, Indigenous, and/or Person of Color"

Dad of 15yo and I would have a very blunt talk with my son if he ever did that to any woman.

PP you're responding to and of course I would do the same. While inappropriate, it's most likely not nefarious.
