Is it strange I am overprotective more of boys?

[Kykiono1]

I feel more overprotective of teen boys than girls because I feel they are more immature and naive than girls. Girls seem smarter to me. I may be wrong, but I worry about boys more.

It's not necessarily strange to feel more protective of boys. Parental instincts can vary based on individual experiences, cultural factors, and perceptions of vulnerability. Society often emphasizes protecting girls due to historical and cultural norms, but boys can face their own challenges and vulnerabilities. Recognizing and addressing these concerns is important for fostering healthy development regardless of gender. However, it's essential to ensure that overprotectiveness doesn't hinder a child's independence or self-confidence. Encouraging open communication, setting reasonable boundaries, and providing guidance can help strike a balance between protection and allowing boys to grow and learn from experiences.

I think you're probably right and those boys are lucky to have you.

[RSav4013]

Thank you for mho!

girls are way more vulnerable and need to be paid more attention to.

[Kykiono1]

Its OK that's your opinion

[EagerAmber]

I can understand and agree why you would

[devilish-cutie]

Worry for boys about what?

[Kykiono1]

Who they meet, what happens to them and what they do.

[devilish-cutie]

But who will harm them? Older men?

[Kykiono1]

More likely older women

[devilish-cutie]

But socially older men are more likely to be predatory to younger women and women generally are weaker to defend themselves. Cases of older women harrasing young men happen but way less, thus women are usually ones that need to be worried about and protected more...

[Kykiono1]

No lot of older women take advantage of boys often. It's common you just don't hear about it

[Kykiono1]

Your approach is ignorant hence how these women get away with it

[BoopBoopBeep]

Your kid is going to need a mountain of therapy. Why are you so hostile to every woman who doesn't feed into your delusion?

[Kykiono1]

@BoopBoopBeep What are you talking about here?

[Kykiono1]

@BoopBoopBeep Just because I am pointing out she is ignoring potential predators and I am taking measures to protect my kid I am deluded?

Seems like a huge projection

[Kykiono1]

Have you checked the sexual offenders scan around your area? ↗

[BoopBoopBeep]

No I imagine you're delusional for a whole host of reasons, so no... not "just" that.

[Kykiono1]

@BoopBoopBeep whatever floats your boat

It's understandable to have concerns about the well-being of both boys and girls, but it's important to recognize that maturity and intelligence aren't solely determined by gender. Each individual is unique, and factors like upbringing, environment, and personal experiences play significant roles in shaping their development. It's essential to approach each person as an individual and provide support and guidance tailored to their needs, regardless of gender.

I think we should worry about both. You're not wrong Boys are less mature than girls It's kind of why I agree They're easier to manipulate because of it. But at that age they're both immature and need to be watched out for to not be taking advantage of.

[Berethor]

Boys tend to be more sexual than girls so how are they naive? so yea it's pretty strange.

[Kykiono1]

Boys are less rational and mature

[Kykiono1]

Some girls are just as. Sexual

[Friendlybro79]

It's not strange to worry. Do you have a reason for being so worried? The world is crazy nowadays for kids. I'm just wondering if it's something specific for you that gets you worried.

[abc3643]

I don't know if strange is the right word, but it is interesting.

[Tractorguy13]

Not strange at all……. I’ve been a teenage boy. A little secret is that we are all stupid even if we are book smart

[Anonymous]

Mothers are usually more protective over the boys than the girls for some reason anyway so that’s pretty normal

[Wiredone]

I think mothers protect the boys and fathers protect the girls more. Personally, I'd kill for both of my kids

[Sharkstealth]

What are you worried about? Teenage boys aren't generally worried about anything.

[Kykiono1]

And that's a problem lol

[DarkLegacy]

You are right in your thinking, girls grow up quicker then boys

[handsomelad70]

Well, boys get into trouble a lot easier than girls, so it isn't that strange to me.

[Enginn]

Thats cute lol. Boys needing a girl's protection is a no no though.

[Kykiono1]

Yeah but moms are different

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

No. It means you care for your children especially in their case of still being immature.

[Jennz6]

Yes, girls mature faster

[laly520]

boys usually mature up slower than girls

[Kykiono1]

Yes that's why i am more worried about them

[MertJK]

Yes, that's right, it really is

[supercutebutt]

Are you talking about during coitus?

[firenine909]

Nothing wrong with that honestly

[Celticwolf78]

They are immature and stupid

[Anonymous]

No it's not wrong
