    Tbh, I’m not worried about his dating life. My son is 15 and is dating (USA). Teenagers get together and break up. Learning to respect girls boundaries and his own, emotional growth, etc. That’s normal.

    What I am worried about is his getting a driver’s license in a time of rising traffic deaths, him trying drugs laced with fentanyl, buying into right wing ideologies that target boys like him or getting roped into a high control group.

    That shit is life altering if not ending.

      Oh I’m worried about that, too, especially the right wing shit. But if he’s having trouble dating that’s not exactly something I’d just brush off. That can have some bad consequences, too, boys can get into dangerous risk-taking for girls or get roped into incel stuff… and right wing shit, too.
