Men, in our society, are told when they are little boys that they are not to cry and hold it in. When these boys become teenagers, they are told to man up and be a man. These same boys are learning how to date and treat girls in a particular way. If they are lucky enough, these boys see their father treat their mother right and learn life skills about marriage and the interaction of a good married couple. However, some boys, by the time they are teenagers, have seen that It's ok to hit women because of their fathers hitting their mothers and over a long period of time develop mental health issues due to this view what they have seen. By the same time, men who want to get help for their own problems feel ashamed because of how society views them for all the stigma men get for trying to straighten out their life. Unfortunately, many men end up with addiction or get into legal problems for the rest of their life. |
