Many boys, when they grow up, don't confess their feelings. It's not necessarily because they are more mature or rational, but because they missed an important practice during adolescence. Confessing is essentially about learning how to express your liking, how to handle uncertainty, and how to maintain your self-esteem after rejection. However, in environments where only grades matter and making mistakes is feared, expressing emotions becomes a high-risk behavior. As a result, many choose silence and avoidance. The consequence is that they grow up to be less able to express their needs and emotions, leading to misunderstandings and evasion in close relationships, and even projecting their emotions into virtual worlds. What is truly needed is not to suppress young people further, but to provide them with a safer space to try expressing themselves, to learn how to like gracefully and accept rejection gracefully, and to gradually grow through this process.
