MOB MENTALITY: BOYS

   If you are a girl and you tend to hang out or talk with the opposite sex often, you have probably noticed a definite change between their way of acting when they are alone versus when they are within a group of testosterone packed teenage boys; this is what some may call "mob mentality."  I have many male friends that I spend time with throughout weekends, school, and sports.  When I am around only one or two of them, they treat me with respect and act compassionately towards me and whatever we may be talking about; in other words I feel like an equal.  On the other hand when I come across the same boys, but they happen to be with four or five of their peers, I am greeted with hostility, sexist remarks, and overly rude or unwelcoming or degrading jokes.  This is just another piece of evidence proving that males do not mature as quickly as females.
