I do not think this is typical, yet, in High School. I think the social and sexual ineptness and poor behaviour is fostered and reinforced by the lack of female presence for the crucial years between, say, 14-23 (I doubt the number of actual sexual offenders — for whom acclimation is not a solution — is larger among the techy group than any others).

The long-term solution is to get more girls (HS and younger) interested in programming and so on.

Edit: probably unnecessary clarifications in italics.
