Boys Don't Cry - Telling boys that they “cry like a girl” can be harmful to their mental health in later life because it means they lose touch with their feelings. As little boys begin to construct the identities of grown men, the toughest lesson to learn is toughness itself. Never show weakness, never show fragility and above all, never let them see your tears. I learned that tears and sobs were markers of failure, but hell yeah, I have tear ducts.
