This story involves a teen boy, a girl who wouldn't take 'No' for an answer, their moms who had a weird wish for them to date, and the dad who stood up for his son.
A teen’s mom didn’t let him go to a party until he apologized to a girl he rejected publicly at schoolBut his dad disagreed and sided with him; he listened when the son told him that the girl has been harassing himGender stereotypes are hard to get out of our heads. Many of us might still think that harassment, be it verbal, physical, or sexual, doesn’t happen to men or happens too seldom to be significant. However, statistics and stories like this one paint a very different picture.
What’s more, men are less likely to report such harms and seek formal treatment for them than women. Many fear their self-image, masculinity, and sexual orientation will be questioned if they do. One NIH studyTeaching teens about consent and rejection is crucial to avoid misunderstandings like thesedoesn’t only happen to girls and women.
What parents should do is similar to the approach the dad in this story had. As an NP and teen risk prevention researcher, Dr. Jennifer Salerno“Approach it with love and care, and you’ll find it can be a powerful conversation that strengthens your relationship,” Salerno claims. Playing a matchmaker for your kid is probably not recommended.
