Some young men are identifying as incels They define themselves as unable to find a relationship (or friendships) Many of them stuck on the internet Some of these self-identifying incels are ones that plot (and some time succeed) to shoot up schools Parents, make sure you know what's going on with your kids at school and their relationships BULLYING Vinnie was an amazing athlete Kids teased him a ton However, once he started winning at sports, people started being nice to him They were still mean to kids who weren't good at sports Don't bully kids - you don't know what they're going through Become friends with people

The controls on this study are likely misrepresented
