Young men



All have mothers
.
So how come many grow up not understanding anything about women?

What happens in these families?

Did they even have families?

What values, what shared wisdom is passing from one generation to the next?

How come so many young men seem to know little or nothing about relationships?

About being men either come to think of it

Young men often have no fathers

Many being of divorced parents where the mother retained custody of the child or children

These young men see little or nothing of their fathers

Often they have no role model, no men to relate to at all

And at school teachers are often too busy with the demands of the system to give much time to their pupils, particularly challenging ones

At school young boys turning into young men are often left to their own devices

Society then becomes disturbed about young men and their propensity towards gangs, violence or drugs and alcohol

What hypocrisy

Society had few ideas or interest in helping them when they were young

Society has no place for many when they are adults

Just a myopic fear of their anger and frustration

So lock them up

Just put them away

Do you know any young men?

Are you helping at all?

Young men are often difficult to approach, however if this is done through some existing organisation or activity then often they are very grateful

Because no one ever cared before

Do you have any time?
