Should I be worried?

[vixx999]

I'm a 14 year old female, and I've been friends with this boy from school who is also 14 for a couple years. We've been friends since we were both 12, and up until recently our friendship has been completely normal (it might still count as normal I'm not really sure and that's why I'm here). For a couple months this boy has been making sexual jokes frequently that make me and my other female friend (same age) uncomfortable. None of us mind the occasional 'dirty joke', but his jokes are more specifically about breasts and after the joke he usually reffers to mine or my friend's breasts. And then more recently in class he would stroke mine and my friend's thighs, which again made us both uncomfortable. We told him to stop but he didn't, another of our friends found out (male, also 14) and he even said it was weird and told him to stop. The three of us that we're trying to get this boy to stop ended up arguing with him, and he now hangs out with a different group of people and has stopped commenting on our breasts and stroking our thighs. But the other day I heard that he said he doesn't care about what he was doing and he doesn't understand why we were "overreacting". I don't know if his behavior was normal, and I understand that he is a teenage boy with hormones (if that's relevant?), but the point was that it made us uncomfortable. If someone could please tell me if I was overreacting and if his behavior was normal I would be greatful. Also the point that he didn't care about the fact that what he did made us uncomfortable makes me worry if he will continue it with other people, or take it further than just touching someone's leg in the future. Please can someone clear up my confusion.

Sounds like many teenage boys I knew.... still too soon to tell (unless psych eval were done) if he'll grow out of this. But as a 14 year old female it's good for you to start practicing putting up boundaries and keeping them now! He could have said he didn't care to sound cool or to undermine the situation. Maybe in his head it was an over reaction but that doesn't make it ok.  Listen to your gut. It took me 30 years to learn to put up boundaries and keep them despite unwavering advances from stupid guys.

If you two were alone he would have forced himself on to you I'm not much older than you and I can tell you that you weren't overreacting he just didn't see the harm in what he was doing keep your distance good luck dear
