@ramsey I agree with you. It was worrying to me when my sons told me that blocking people was perceived as either aggressive, or an L (lose) and admission of defeat in their teenage world.

They thought they had to take the abuse they should be blocking, or block and be harassed for an explanation elsewhere, and ultimately abused elsewhere, too.

It took some effort to convince them that blocking people is a self-empowering move that requires no explanation if they so decide.
