Please don't tell boys to man up, It's what a lot of boys have been told and it causes a lot of pain in the long run.



When a boy is told to man up when he cries it means that boy is going to hold in emotional pain.

When a boy is told to man up he will never be the same

when a boy is told to man up he's going to cry and a piece of him is going to die

When a boy is told to man up he holds everything in

and when he's told to man up me could explode again and again and again

Some boys explode by age 12 some by 6 and some explode at an age when its the perfect mix of holding everything in and being in a high position.

It's the lashing out and the tantrums it's the silence and never speaking its holding everything back and hoping it never comes out because if it does....

It's feeling like there is nobody to talk to because in your own way you've never been able to talk to anyone.

It's the feeling of wondering how the world would be without you and how it would benefit without you.

So please don't tell boys to man up don't tell them to suck it up let them express themselves the way they need too and guide then in what they like to do.
