@georgiana Reddit. Discord. This is what we call budding "niceguy" behavior. But Niceguys are not nice guys. I would do some background reading on niceguys and incels beforehand. http://www.wehuntedthemammoth.com is a good start. Your son is exhibiting entitled, toxic behavior, and it needs...

@christianguy2121 Kids will speak the language of their school peers to each other. My sibling and I are fluent in our heritage language. Our parents raised us in it. We speak out to our own kids. But we speak English to each other. We could be speaking in Thai, and we do if we need to snark...
