Hmmm. Welcome to 1979. NGL, this is exactly the same shit I used to hear - and see, some 50 years ago when I was about her age.
What I see is that the boys are boasting and trying to one-up each other in the perennial game of “Who Could Care Less”. Standard noise.
Hope the author jettisons Insta and TikTok and moves to a non-photo/video platform.
I have found they represent the most toxic aspects of our culture. The ONLY thing those sites respect is views so leaving is the best option.
She can find real empowerment and friendship with an older group.
That however, is a tough sell because of how the youth culture today looks to validation from their own peer crowd instead of looking outside their group, so best of luck to her.
The best any of us can do is hold our hands out and say “here we are…” and have no strings tied to the offer.
