What We've Done
What we have done as a society is a terrible thing. Growing up as a girl you don't notice it, but once you start having interactions boys as you grow up you realize that something you have is missing in them. That something is the ability to communicate those feelings that will surely break us down. As you grow up is easy to ignore it but once you're an adult and you want those bonds to solidify, this all makes a difference. From a young age, men are told to not show emotion. Admitting that they are sad, or lonely is a sign of weakness. What have we done? As a society, what have we done? We have thrown them into the deep sea without teaching them to swim and without giving them a voice to ask for help.
