This guy at school who my sister knows keeps meowing. My sister also has him added on social media, where he sends random videos of farting, burping, or him saying stuff in a weird voice to all his contacts of people his age?

Is this just typical teenage boy behavior? I didn’t talk to many boys at that age, nor were they American/English-speaking boys so I don’t know.

That seems pretty typical kinda unfortunate kid blunder years behaviour. If deep down they're a good person they will hopefully figure out this isn't a good way to get attention and look back and cringe, but there's a risk this'll lead to inceldom.

Most likely they are lonely and are blundering their way through trying to find a way to not be lonely

Finding your place in society and connecting with others can be really hard sometimes, and no one helps people who get it this badly wrong. It's just easier to ignore, avoid and ridicule. Hope this poor kid figures it out.

Thank fuck social media wasn't around when I was a weird 10 year old.

This boy is 14, (not really) surprisingly

Not surprising at all, puberty is when the weird behaviour really gets into gear, hormones make you painfully awkward.
