Boys 2

Sometimes I thinks we as boys think a certain way and most we do. We think we are supposed to think/act a certain way because society says so. But in truth we have our own lives and can make choices to think and act however we want.

In society we are taught that boys and girls have to think and act a certain way to be accepted. In the past they taught that the acceptable thing to do was to treat everyone with kindness and respect. But, now it has reversed, now in everything we do, everywhere we go, we are taught the acceptable thing to do is to be lazy, selfish, weak, cowards.

As boys we are part of the problem, as Billy Joel's song say "We didn't start the fire, but we did ignite it, but we're trying to fight it", and we are trying to fight it. The problem is that there is more bad in the world than good.

If we as boys could start acting and thinking at our best, if we could start treating others with the respect they deserve, if we could try to make a positive difference in someones life each day, we will be more effective as a brother, as a son, as a friend, and as a human beng.

I know it sounds hard and it will be, but it will be worth it in the end. We can do this, we can be strong, we can be brave, we can be more than boys, we can be Men!!!!
