Does your culture have a rite of passage that marks or tests a boy's transition into manhood?

[MerakSahibi]

In some Amazonian tribes, a boy must wear a glove filled with bullet ants for 10 minutes as a test before he is considered an adult. The pain is so intense that some people who complete the trial are even left temporarily paralyzed

In Vanuatu, boys tie vines around their ankles and jump headfirst from tall wooden towers. The vines are measured so that their heads come within inches of the ground, making it another test of courage.
Among Muslims, this transition is generally marked by circumcision.

Yes

No, rituals like that are unnecessary

yeah somewhat. but it's a bit difficult between east and west germany, cause the eastern parts of germany are far more secular. the west is more christian based. it's mostly just drincing alcohol socially for the first time at the age of around 16 xD which is fucked up the way it sounds when i say it like that but it really just mostly is that.

Not just boys, but girls.
That picture you have for Yes... such pictures appear in the center of our local newspaper during hunting season showing kids - both boys and girls - with their first-ever kills.

no. they should stop that cruel stuff, it probably got started by sadism!

[MerakSahibi]

You have Bar Mitzvah too, but of course it's not nearly as painful

Nope, the circumcision is usually done much earlier, and not as a ritual, unless it’s in a religious context

[exitseven]

No, it's a more subtle transition.

[In_Trance]

No..

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

No. Pure stupidity.

[Badtobad]

No such nonsense
