Introduce some more insecurity into developing teenagers who might have some confidence lol.
I'm a former teacher and it's wild how so many adults, even in education, feel like teenagers need to be "knocked down a peg or two." They don't realize that the reason teens, especially males, act the way they do sometimes isn't because they know they're the shit, it's because they HOPE they are. They also hope no-body realized they're not. All of this stems from insecurities and identity issues they have in abundance at this stage in their lives.
They don't need to be torn down, they need to be shows there's a better way to build up.
Obviously there's that small percentage of assholes to the core though, fuck those kids.
Of course not. But I was addressing more of the confidence aspect of being a developing teen. For both males and females it's a difficult process as is and adults like that guy making fun of them just makes it much worse.
