So, we make him go prove all the time. 23 00:00:43,372 --> 00:00:48,211 Within their peer group culture each of them is posturing based on how the other boys are posturing, 24 00:00:48,241 --> 00:00:53,851 and what they end up missing is what they each really want, which is just that closeness. 25 00:00:53,958 --> 00:00:57,092 In good times guys are, like, really close to each other, 26 00:00:57,092 --> 00:01:00,154 but when things get a little bit worse you're on your own. 27 00:01:00,154 --> 00:01:02,749 From middle school I had four really close friends. 28 00:01:02,749 --> 00:01:08,642 Once I went kind of went into high school, I struggled finding people I can talk to cuz I feel like I'm not supposed to get help. 29 00:01:08,642 --> 00:01:14,105 Our kids get up every morning.

If we are in a culture that doesn't value caring, 35 00:01:35,092 --> 00:01:42,629 doesn't value relationships, doesn't value empathy, you are going to have boys and girls, men and women go crazy. 36 00:01:42,676 --> 00:01:45,750 I had anger issues in high school.
