Boys_ aggressiveness is increasingly being treated as a medical problem, particularly in schools, a trend that has led to the diagnosing and medicating of boys whose problem may really be that they have been traumatized and influenced by exposure to violence and abuse at home. Treating these boys as though they have a chemical problem not only overlooks the distress they are in but also reinforces their belief that they are __ut of control_ or __ick,_ rather than helping them to recognize that they are making bad choices based on destructive values. I have sometimes heard adults telling girls that they should be flattered by boys_ invasive or aggressive behavior __ecause it means they really like you,_ an approach that prepares both boys and girls to confuse love with abuse and socializes girls to feel helpless.
