How are we raising our boys.....

So Growing up as a girl or a lady, you start to get being told what you are, what you should do, what you can't do also what to wear and what not to wear but on the flip side no body is doing so much to tell the boys what they can do and can not do and so a girl grows up as this put together person but then meets this boy who had a lot of privileges and has no one to put him right..Lately there has been so much awareness as to empowering the woman, woman meetings here and there but yet the most crimes in the country are still being committed by men doesn't that tell us that there is something wrong and that we ought to start working on our boy child too? there so much talk as to girls education and so much is being achieved as well and the result is more ladies now know what is due to them and what is meant to be educated and empowered but my fear now is, this same model isn't been replicated towards the male child and so when this educated strong ladies grow up they either unfortunately end up with this men who haven't been taught how to be men or they end up alone because they refuse to settle for less? For this to change mothers and fathers have to do more in raising our boys and the society has to start to think of duplicating this models being used in raising girls to raise boys as well so we can have a balanced society in all....

  1. I agree with u, but picture girls not trained as so, picture them growing as boys, pathetic?
    But boys are natural societal etiquettes, so I hope u understand why less pressure is on us @ puberty. But good advice though, nothing like Erigga!

    1. i understand that girls cant be left without guidance but this is a call to action for us to guide our boys too because the assumption that they are doing good without it is showing clearly in the society.....Thanks for your comment
