It could be called, 'Making your teen bovered.' by Dr Joolz<BR/>or shall it be analytical and be called, ' What are you on about?'

And definitely I think that boys in particular seem to suffer from this sort of prejudice. <BR/>But there is a slightly weird thing that happens with 'feisty' girls in my observations, which is that they get criticised in the same way as boys for more watered down behaviour pattens.What I mean, is that a girl has to do less than a boy in order to shock a teacher (etc) with misdemeanours.<BR/>Although conversely, I think that generally, 'innocently behaving' girls can move unnoticed through shopping malls (etc) unlike many 'innocently behaving' boys at the present time.<BR/><BR/>In fact, (and sorry to go on) there is a whole load of social policing that goes on all the time to do with boys' and girls' dress - to do with what is thought to be gender appropriate and so on, as well as things which are supposed to signal deviancy.<BR/><BR/>What do other people think?Joolzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764771025537899267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8761893.post-1116664095526217092005-05-21T08:28:00.000+00:002005-05-21T08:28:00.000+00:00There does seem to be a culture of dislike and fea...There does seem to be a culture of dislike and fear of teenagers. I wonder how we can expect them to grow up into decent adults if we don't treat them the way we would like to be treated. My friend took her 14 year old son and his two friends (complete with hoodies and skateboards) into the city and was appalled by the way they were treated by shopkeepers and the public - and these are really nice boys! Her son tried to return something to a department store and was refused despite the fact that he had a receipt, yet when his mum took the item in ten minutes later they gave her the money no problem. Having a son about on the verge of adolescence it worries me and as he gets bigger I am already noticing that people treat him differently, yet he is the same boy that they all tough cute not so long ago! Do you think it is worse for boys?Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06090382196937582571noreply@blogger.com
