The mental health and well-being of the boychild is a multifaceted issue that requires a holistic approach encompassing various aspects of their lives. In today's society, boys often face unique challenges and pressures that can impact their mental well-being.
Boyhood comes with an expectation from society - an expectation to act tough, hide vulnerabilities, and most times be self-sufficient. Yet by nature, humans have been made to not be self-sufficient. Whichever way you amplify the idea of self-love, it can never equate to being loved and tended by another caring, loving human being. The heart of the boy child yearns to be satiated with the love of those around him, but most times he's left all alone, on the premise that after all, he is a man. He Too Needs It; Care and Love.
