While growing up it is easy to believe a lot of things but there are somethings that a person has to choose if they want to continue to believe them or not. For instance, I have seen people belittle boys because they cry or feel sad. I have watched the people who I am close to doing this. Those people believe that it is unmanly for a boy to show their emotional side and see it as a flaw. I also used to be one of those people that believed this. I've had a change of heart after we after witnessing how it way of thinking affected others.
The first time I heard my dad say something bad to my brother was after our very first physical fight. My older brother Kenny and I used to always fight over everything most times those fights would end with one of us crying. I pulled his hair and he started crying and I started crying so I wouldn’t get in trouble. My dad was trying to calm us down, but I noticed the difference in the way he did it. He would be gentle when he

They were unnecessary for anyone to say those things, especially a parent. Instead of standing up for him I stopped visiting my dad and so did he it caused us to become distant. He wouldn’t tell me certain things because he didn’t want himself to be seen as a weak or emotional person. Before he told me this I thought it was because we fought so much. He went on to tell me that our father was hurting him emotionally when he said things like 'Stop crying like a girl' or when I said that he was acting like girl for crying, it took a toll on him and being thought of as weak by someone he loved wasn't something he wanted to deal with, this made me feel instantly guilty. I had so many questions to ask like why did I think that it was okay to make fun of him while he was hurt and why people only connected crying with girls when it is normal. Those questions were ones that I would have to answer for myself, but I wouldn't be able to provide a good

All families have problems but divorcing is one that most of the families have. In fact Freaks and geeks; Schweiber and Weir is a good example of families of America. The Weirs don’t have problems like Schweiber do. Neil Schweiber is the only child and Sam Weir is not, he has an older sister. But what I am trying to get at is that Sam has someone to talk to but Neil, on the other hand, does not. He is lucky he has friends that told him about his dad.

“I would hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo, and if an echo sounded, no matter how faintly, I would send other words to tell, to march, to fight, to create a sense of the hunger for life that gnaws in us all” (Wright). Richard Wright (1908-1960) is associated with the Modernism movement. Richard Wright’s grandparents were slaves, and his father left his family at a very young age.

It is now and accepted fact that gender roles exist. Whether you call them gender roles or characterize actions or behaviors as “lady-like” or “a man’s job”, they exist and they are a problem. A common saying used to excuse the blatantly ignorant actions usually reflecting sexism is one I am sure you are familiar with. That saying is “Boys will be boys”. Something making a big impact on this internalized hatred is the image women feel forced to fulfill shoved down our throats by social media, magazines, all in attempt to sell a product to women so that we may look like these unattainable images. Young girls are taught that if a boy causes you physical harm, it means he likes you. We romanticize abuse. These girls grow up and get into abusive
“Fatty! Pig! Fatty! Come on Fatty keep up!” In a community people think it is awesome to bully people. Bullying is teasing someone because people are overweight, or people are jealous. For example, people usually get bullied because people are overweight, or have down syndrome. The people behind this bullying are usually the jocks. Consider the people that are hurt everyday because of bullying. For instance, more people are hurt then being excited or happy. Let’s stop bullying because people are alike and no one is perfect. This world is not perfect by any means, so no one will be perfect. Also, people should try to act like people are perfect. People on Earth should be like brothers and sisters. Yes brothers and sisters have their fights,

In contemporary United States culture, the most exigent social justice issue facing our country is violence towards women, specifically the classic mantra “boys will boys”. Despite it being a seemingly innocuous phrase, I and others attribute this banal vernacular as being one of the early stages of developing acts of abuse towards the female gender. This mantra so to speak, normalizes the unknowingly sexist actions of boys. This idea ingrains into the minds of young children that aggressive behavior is to not only be excused, but to be expected, because it is “just in their nature”. When a young boy is aggressive towards a girl he finds attractive, parents and educators oftentimes make excuses for the boy’s behavior and tell the young girl

He never thought of how it would affect me later in life. For years I put up with verbal abuse and saw my mother physically abused. Knowing that the only protection that I was suppose to have in that house was the person I needed protection from. Growing up I let people walk over me because he led me to believe I had no value or I was a toxic vessel on the world. In a world filled with people, I felt alone with no direction.

Looking out the window watching my friends play was torture for me. It felt
