It's Time to Address the Needs of Boys

ronn submitted this story from the UK Times which is an excellent article on boys' issues. Libby Purves confronts stereotypes about boys and explains what they need but are not getting from society today: boys need challenge, boys need men, and boys need love and respect. Purves ends the article with an appropriate remark: "if we let the Lost Boys proliferate, their wasted lives and sadness will haunt us all...Berating them as thugs or tittering at them as sex maniacs is not the answer."Source: The Times [UK newspaper]
