I’m a guy & I paint my nails, his look rad! Sry to hear kids are being such jerks.
Kids will bully for any and all reasons. It’s so sad to me. I still have some emotional scars from being bullied myself after all these years. I think your son’s nails look really cool. Lots of men paint their nails. Nail polish is for everyone who loves it. Sending kind thoughts your son’s way.
Kids are mean. I do not know why your son is wearing polish but I waited until I was 34 to do so and I got a lot of shit for it too. It’s amazing how many meanings people assign to men in paint. The best defense I have found is to ignore the bullies and not give them the power. Painting nails is a healthy form of self expression.
His nails are nice looking and he should be allowed to enjoy himself. Keep it up little guy.

Bullies suck. My partner paints his nails alllll the time! It’s something we do together and enjoy a lot. He even does cool designs on his, like Wolverine and Deadpool faces! You son is way cooler than these jerk bullies and that bugs the heck out of them. Sorry he’s going through that. Radical self expression is so important! Please tell him I love his nail polish and hope to see more.
Bullies go after anyone with a personality. Being interesting literally activates them.
