I've been a pubescent young man once and we have all been idiots laughing at stupid shit, trying to be edgy. I guess that number will change once they'll get more mature.
College (if they go), is when these boys pulled out of their comfort zone and thrown into a huge mixer with a huge variety of new people and ideas. I imagine there's a reason they only see this trend in "high school boys".
Colleges are also seeing less men succeed in the environment. Men are struggling in the classroom and with mental health.
I think we all agree young people are getting a shitty deal with today's society. It's hard to think positively for them.
@Kata1yst @trashhalo @VanillaGorilla Yep. Hence why conservatives keep calling college "woke" and "liberal indoctrination." Funny how reality and not living in denial makes people more left.
That’s when I went from being conservative to liberal, for sure. Still moving further left, 10 years later.
