There's a Reddit post about a mom telling her 13-year-old daughter not to do hobby horsing because she'll get bullied, and the comments are pretty split on whether your job as a parent is to support your children or force them to conform 'for their own good.'

I find it very difficult not to find a 35-year-old still wishing they hadn't been so 'cringe' in middle school significantly more cringe than a 13-year-old enjoying themselves.
