"Online figures negatively influence teenage boys' ideologies."

A new TV show called "Adolescence" has received high praise from critics, including five stars from Lucy Mangan at the Guardian. The four-episode series tells the story of a teenage boy in the UK accused of murdering a classmate. It presents the perspectives of the police, a psychologist, the school, and the boy's parents. The show is gripping and raises important questions about the influences on teenage boys. Many viewers found the show disturbing. It highlights how easily young boys can be influenced by controversial figures like Andrew Tate. Tate is known for his misogynistic views and has been banned from several social media platforms. His rhetoric suggests that men should reclaim traditional masculinity, often at the expense of women. Research shows that Tate's ideology has had a significant negative impact on boys. Many students reference him in classrooms, and some adopt his views as a way to challenge female peers. This behavior raises concerns about the attitudes of today's youth toward women. The article also connects these issues to broader societal problems. In Pakistan, for example, violence against women is prevalent, often framed as ‘honour’ crimes. The writer calls for better male role models and emphasizes the need for more effective education on gender equality. Parents are encouraged to monitor their children's online activities and to teach them respect for others. The writer urges that changes are needed to address the dangerous mindset shaped by figures like Tate, and that society must take action to protect women and foster healthier attitudes in boys.
