Boys And Men???

I think I need to start with a simple question. How can boys by all definition say what a man is? How can a young man say what a real man is? The reason I put such a question out there is the young men in my math class had quite the discussion on what a man is and when a boy can finally say that he is a man. Their were all kinds of definitions all of which I feel proved that these 16 and 17 year olds have got some learning to do before they can honestly say they are a real man.
One definition was your a man when your paying bills, one was when your taking care of a family, another was when your mom says you are. Let me just say they went on and on until it was time to go. I feel its safe to say again and again they all were just lil boys. That whole I have seen so much in my life doesn’t make you a man that whole I got a job girl and this that and other bill don’t make you a man. Pick from the following to see if you are a man.
Religion When you religion says you are
When the government says you are
when people look at you like you are
when your done puberty
or hears the real on
when you can honestly look in the mirror and say all in all im a man.
Any man can pay bills any man can make babies any man can go to church and clime to be a Christian and go to church any man can do what ever the hell he wants. Its a real man that dose what not what he feels is right but what is best for those his decisions will effect. A real man pays bill not because he has to but because he wants to. A real man makes a family because he wants to take care of one, not because it was the cards he was dealt. Real men love their lives because of the positive attributes they give to society a real man buy all definition is someone all other males will be proud to look to as a role models and women can say to their little boys don’t you want to be like him.
