The attention that was once needed has now swung the pendulum the other way, yet as Grundig said it is still taboo to discuss "men's rights." In fact, many teachers are under-educated in classroom-management techniques or differentiated instruction styles that apply more towards "typical" boys' behaviors and learning styles.

In my country there is a big push to bring back hands on learning, very physical games and "dangerous" playground were banned, people are now realising that doing that is screwing over boys who need that to live.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

That's part of what I mean. At least you're recognizing the need for different things that boys require during the school day.

I was always SUPER fidgetty during school. Well, at home too. But in school, I would get bored really fast. But I was worse than most other kids, so I don't know if it was because of my gender.

You know that you can always delete the second post if someone hasn't posted after it.

I dont care for activities associated with typical male behavior. I've never been that active.

Then again...I'm not your typical male teenager. :P

Yeah. Well, you've got the constant crushes and wondering what to do about them, I'd say that part's normal. But there's no such thing as normal, really. It only seems that way in school as a teenager.
