If Barbie has taught us anything, it's that women can do anything. But an increasing number of people are saying young men and boys are now crying out for role models on how to be the best version of themselves.
Run kids through 12 years of school. Teach them little that engages them or makes them feel valuable. Tell them for half of those years that their best hope to achieve happiness is to go to college so that they can earn enough to consume the good life and then retire. Then wonder why so many lack a sense if purpose and belonging.
Some kids are fortunate. They have a family that truly support them, helpinh them gain experience in life and some insight into finding their way. For those with families that aren’t that way, finding your way can be much harder. A significant amount of kids have parents that are checked out. Sometimes it’s because the parents are too busy working. Sometimes its for worse reasons.
12 years in a school system that is failing to teach boys, putting them out there on a worse educational standing and than shipping many of them off to go work in the mines or our houses.
