there is NO reason for them to live this. absolute NO reason for them to live this. it makes me so angry i cannot tell you. last night i had my father, my brother, his two boys, my two boys, my nieces BF and her son at my house. 9 guys, two women. that is my life.

BE A MAN

ALL but my boys were raised in this mentality.

and you know what the 18 year old... BE A MAN guy did. continually came to me for stroking, petting, carressing to just feel love. my son mentioned it after. how he so needs a mom. (his mom fails). every one of these dudes... BE A MAN, came to me for touch.

THIS is why i get so damn damn angry. this is why i yell and scream and rant and rave. because i see the boys that are hurt. and see what happens once they are the man.

so tell me.

why isnt this in the mens forum. addressing the boys suicide, that is so often quoted to us from men in that group. why are they not joyous with this film. suggested watching. the pain of our young boys. the society we demand they live in, with that pain.

BE A MAN
