Boy

When I was growing up I would make a lot of mistakes and have a lot of accidents. The first thing that my mom or dad would say was “Boys will be boys” and I realize that I have used that as an excuse to do things for a really long time. But some people use it as an excuse to do the wrong things. For example, rape, stealing, and many more unspeakable and horrible things. All I would have to say is “Boys will be boys” and I was cleared and everything was okay just because I was a boy. This is extremely unfair and not to mention not right whatsoever. I had a sister and she would follow me around and do the same things as me but I wouldn’t get in trouble and she would. I would get away with it just because I was a guy. I recall one time I had punched my brother, we had gotten into a brawl over a toy, and my sister punched him a week or two later over the same toy and got spanked. Guess what I got away with “Boys will be boys”. Honestly this was great for me but other people may not be as nice as me to others. Not to mention not only did she get in trouble my brother and I were both given popsicles afterwards and she got time out. A bit harsh to say the least. But anyway she got over and I didn’t care to speak up because I was getting treated better and nothing was going to change just because I…

Boys will be boys is something that society instills in our heads from the time of infancy. The standards for men are set to be aggressive, immature, lack emotion, and fearless. Their childish behavior is just supposed to be acceptable because “boys will be boys”. Not acknowledging the true consequences of their actions. Young men face the pressures of having to upkeep their masculinity and man hood therefore they push away emotions and any famine characteristics. Majority of boys are attracted…

you could feel comfortable in your own skin? Now days, this is impossible. Boys are having insecurity issues, more than girls and this is creating a huge amount of chaos around the “boy” world. Boys have insecurities just as much as girls do, and boys have self-esteem issues just as girls do as well.

girls wearing dresses, skirts and sometimes pants with colors like pink and purple. I would see little boys wearing jeans and t-shirts with colors like blue, red and green. The little girls were many times soft spoken, gentle and kind. The little boys many times were rough and loud. Starting at a young age, these children learned what they were supposed to be like. Little girls are dressed in pink dresses and bows, while boys are dressed in blue jeans and a t-shirt. Baby girls are talked to in…

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas Why do some people think that the solution of their problems is by excluding oneself from all others, when communicating as a whole could result in a much better conclusion? The removal will lead to discrimination put onto the group. It may not be intended to, but while being separated from everyone else, the others will most likely begin to look at the group differently. Ultimately, the removal can cause inequality that can only be helped if one of the other…

I utilize the time I have to devote all of my time and energy to assist them with their homework. I personally know how…

There are numerous articles about boys, often which focus on the “trouble with teenage boys”. Unfortunately, this negative stereotype can have a detrimental impact on boys’ self-belief and esteem. We can believe in gender equality and, at the same time, celebrate and acknowledge the joyful differences. In 2012, Winifred Robinson, a BBC Radio presenter and journalist, shared her thoughts on the joys of teenage boys which, I think, are really pertinent today. A shared opinion is that boisterous,…
