My 13-year-old son was drawing penises in his friends' books. I was called to school for this reason. He did it for the first time in the 6th grade. There were talks and promises that he would not do it again. In junior high school, he broke his promise in September.
Yes. Drawing. It's such a "fashion". Once upon a time, everywhere, even on walls, a female nude was drawn with lines, and now penises. Even on Facebook, there are pages for cartoonists and enthusiasts of this art. It does not have to be erotic. This is such a stupid idea. Boys your son's age are trying to "exist" in various ways. And you see, it worked. He immediately aroused the interest of colleagues and adults. If he had drawn a flying cow, the effect would be similar. It's not about penises at all, and my son's actions are subconscious. On the other hand, drawing on other people's books is reprehensible because they are destroyed. And you should talk about it first of all, because it is a matter of culture. Another urgent topic is keeping promises, because it's a matter of honor and credibility. This is what you should focus on. I know, it's hard to keep up with moral changes, but let's try and don't dramatize. In a few months, the fashion for drawing dwarfs may return.
