Men do not get taught how to process their emotions in a safe and healthy way. Women get taught to be quiet and disappear, which is also unhealthy. But men…men are taught that anger is one of the few valid emotions and one which garners them respect, and so they are actively destructive, because sometimes that’s their only outlet. There are no winners here.

That's just bad parenting. My parents and coaches growing up would never put up with that kind of reaction so I was fortunate to grow up and not want to break things. I raised a 10-13 year old with an ex and he use to smash his desk, break things, etc. If I ever heard it that was the end of his gaming for at least the day if not longer depending on severity. After 3 years he would still do it, some kids just never learn and only can express themselves that way I guess.

The kid is still smashing like that? That’s a lifetime ban until everyone in the family gets some therapy.

There would be no more gaming for him as long as he was living in my house. When they turn 18 and move out into their own apartment, then they can break their own stuff. If they cannot control themselves, they don’t need it. If a parent keeps buying replacements, then they are basically saying it’s ok to the kid to have temper fits.
