Too many schools expect little boys to behave like little girls, and try to force it, instead of giving healthy outlets for aggression, etc.
VERY MUCH this. I sensed, without yet being able to understand much less adapt to in a healthy way, that school was largely about warehousing kids out of "the way" and rewarded compliance and conformity toward mundane mediocrity over all else.
One of my favorite recess toys was the hand size red rubber ball, and I remember signing up for it almost 2 weeks in advance for one recess period. The day finally came, and quickly some bully kid took it from me and punted it across the playground. I ran after it, and the kids who had caught it and were looking around with Whose ball? expressions, saw it was "Mentie's" and kicked it as hard as they could away from me. I ended up running back and forth across the playground literally driven to tears, which only reinforced the asshole kids, while the teachers tasked with monitoring the playground watched and did ABSOLUTE FUCK ALL about it, giving off a vibe it was my problem and even somehow my fault. The correct thing to have done in retrospect, was to PUNCH the second kid who thought it was funny and OK to kick it away from me deliberately, but no, that would make ME the sole bad guy in the school's eyes.
My Dad tried to take me to Aikido classes, but not only was I more interested in spazzily running around the padded gym they were held in, I angered the teacher with a disrespectful remark so they just stopped taking me. (I later took up Aikido in my late 40s and got very adept at it. The Sensei KNEW that instructor I angered all those decades before, too.) So, I never learned any fighting skills, nor got "permission" to use such if I did. On top of this, my metabolism made me tall but stick-thin. My arms and legs were unthreateningly bony, and well into my 40s I could eat limitless calories and not gain an ounce.
The bullies who were allowed to flourish without school intervention; some went on to die in motorcycle crashes while high school age, one notoriously got a life sentence after murdering his GF around age 22. Lots of the rest, made their way into the business world where their aggression and lack of ethics and empathy got rewarded by better pay and faster promotions, because that's what our Capitalist system tends to incentivize.
I ended up going into the trades despite my "intellectual prowess." Took decades before TRP to slowly grasp and fumble my way out of Blue Pill programming. I eventually started my own business and was able to live and work my principles, finding success if not ruthlessly gained FU money. Most of my peers in the industry seem cut from the same cloth as the school bullies of my youth, and they almost all jumped right on board the Bush 1, Bush 2, and now Trump trains, and like the bullies of my youth, single me out as an "other" to ruthlessly attack and bully as an avatar of their imagined "Liberal enemies." Someone brought up during a recent convo (I'm still involved in the community despite Covid lockdowns bankrupting my business) "How many other businesses do you see the customers writing glowing reviews and missing them years after they shut down?"

@Typo-MAGAshiv It was something that may have been done once or twice as a funny TikTok post, but then got picked up, amplified, and assigned a place in The Culture Wars as a rallying point around "What The Libs are turning America into."
Thus, "The kids all eating Tide Pods" got woven into partisan screeds as empty mental calorie filler, just like "The Millennials and their avocado toast."

I got kicked out of QUEST within the first few weeks of 6th grade due to behavior problems.
I was spazzy and unfocused too, which annoyed my teacher but didn't get me kicked out.
I WAS given a diagnosis of "Hyperactive" as they called it then, and discovered in my 20s helping my parents clear out the garage, reams of old wet-process photocopies showing that I was in the initial UCLA clinical trials of giving Ritalin to hyperactive kids. My Mom told me it did actually help calm me down at home; instead of buzzing around the backyard, on Ritalin I would actually stop and look at/focus on individual things. It didn't help me much in school though, so my parents stopped getting it for me before 4th grade.
Largely, my school behavioral problems came down to constantly feeling BORED to tears with the pace of teaching to the class at large. That, plus moving in 2nd grade to a new school where the shithead kids picked up on my weak social skills and relentlessly bullied me, and a 2nd grade teacher who in retrospect was a party THOT who'd take her hangover bitchiness out on the class and focused a lot of this and other life resentments and shortcomings on ME. That made me feel DONE with school at a young age, a feeling which I never fully "grew out" of. That teacher incidentally was not offered to return for the next school year. Some years later, my Mom signed up for a cooking class at the adult school, and walked right out when SHE turned out to be the teacher!
I'd passive-aggressively not do my class work, so this teacher would send me to the office, where I had to sit in the presence of the bitchy old authoritarian biddy school secretary, with the sound of ditto machines in the back going "Ka-chunk! Ka-chunk!" endlessly. I wasn't any more interested in what I found stupid and mundane classwork in the buzzing fluorescent fixture environment of the school office. Early on, the bell rang and I stood up and said, "Well looks like it's time to head for recess." That old cunt secretary said in her bitchy-best authoritarian tone, "It looks like it's time for you to SIT BACK DOWN AND DO YOUR WORK!" I can trace my hatred of authority and fully checking out of giving a shit about school directly back to that moment.
My Dad worked a lot of 60-80 hour weeks in defense contracting, and my well-meaning Boomer Mom raised me as a Blue Pill AF "nice guy". Lots of bullshit platitudes like "The kids just bully you because they're JEALOUS" and "You need to just MAKE FRIENDS with your bullies." No, these kids were motherfucking borderline retarded which I recognized even at that age, and playing out the dysfunctional behaviors of their shitty first-wave-of-easy-divorce parents. Later, the well meaning shitty advice turned to "Just smile at girls, let them make the first move because (long overcomplicated rubric of they are the ones who get pregnant...)" Cue decades of simping to and coddling girls to watch every last one of them glom on to coldhearted aggressive asshole behaving guys diametrically opposed to the values she instilled into me. I was raised well, for a world that had already disappeared forever before I was born into it.

I was in a talented and gifted program in elementary school
Same. They called it "Academically Talented." The bulk of the student body rallied to bully kids in the program as accidentally talented.
The late 70s version I was in, was kind of a joke in retrospect. They got us "smartest" kids together in one room... and offered NOTHING special, other than a different class in which to do mundane learning tasks. No higher concepts, no better theories or ideas. After 7th grade the program seemed to peter out, probably sequelae of California's Prop 13 property tax reform, after which school budgets were cut so tightly that writing paper, pencils, and kleenex were literally kept under lock and key as even my relatively affluent school district faced the prospect of needing what they had of these to last the rest of the calendar year.
A lot of the kids in the program honestly weren't that bright. The district had its own TV studio, and we had the opportunity to produce our own program. I wrote a couple of (admittedly shitty) unique scripts, which the class rejected. Instead, the majority ran with remaking an episode of the TV sitcom "Eight is Enough," unanimously driven by the girls in the program who were just as mundanely superficial, chatty, and catty as the girls in the student body at large.
At the shitty 5 year class reunion, held when everyone was a broke-ass 23yo, one of the genuinely bright kids from the program was in Medical School on track to become a Doctor. It was funny the way girls MOBBED him the whole time, despite him looking a ragged 43, balding and bad skin, no doubt from the rigors of premed work.

Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’”

Read MoreSo first I do this RP thing to lose my virginity. Then I fall for one of my plates. Next thing I know she tells me how much she loves me while accepting and taking home a piece of paper with another mens number in the same day(she works at a bar). What page of the book did I miss here?
Consider investing into a reliable ready reference you can pick up and study to better prepare yourself for engaging the opposite sex. I'd suggest that you get yourself a copy of Doc Love's "The System: The Dating Dictionary". Doc Love, who until his passing was also known as Tom Hodges, wrote a weekly advice column that's archive is mirrored on several mens focused sites and a podcast. His media is a bit pricey, but it's a solid foundation a guy can branch out from in RP aware circles. I'd suggest you review his advice column to decide if his view on dating and relationships is aligned with what you aspire for yourself. To save yourself a search, give this scribed link a gander to find out if his book is something you'd like to add to your library. It should also be available on libgen.

But then...
But in today’s increasingly masculine political climate,
Yeah, this looks like a ChatNPC mashup of "Manosphere hot buttons written by someone convinced they "should" attack anything with even a whiff of Red Pill adjacency, but without understanding what they are attacking thus getting it cartoonishly wrong.
How do i navigate breaking up with this girl?
I've been dating this girl for about a year, we are exclusive but never officialy gf and bf, however its very obvious we've caught feelings for eachother. I've been trying to break up but i cant just go through with it. I dont see a LTR in her but yet i dont want anyone else to have her. She is the best sex ive ever had and very fun to be around, but on her bad days she is toxic, nasty and controlling. She has had kind of a sad upbringing and i dont wanna break her heart, whats the best way to do this? Should i just tell her the truth about the things i dont like about her? Is it better to just tell her i wanna date other people?
