View submission: Boys Want a Strong Relationship With Their Teachers. That Doesn't Always Happen
I usually liked my teachers in my childhood or my professors in undergrad or grad school. Where I tended to struggle (especially in my childhood) was with my peers. My anxiety based repetitions tended to ruin potential friendships and give me the well-earned reputation as the annoying weirdo. After the cycle of ruining potential friendships occured during my freshman year of high school, I had enough and gave up on socializing until college.
But I also always hated the rigid social norms that were ruthlessly reinforced. Especially anything about boys "showing weakness" including treating tears from a lack of sleep as crying and "being a pussy". High school guys are goddamn morons. There was a ton of homophobia when I was in high school in PA (mid 2000s). Hopefully it is better now, although I am not optimistic.
There's nothing here!
