Boys will be boys is something that society instills in our heads from the time of infancy. The standards for men are set to be aggressive, immature, lack emotion, and fearless. Their childish behavior is just supposed to be acceptable because “boys will be boys”. Not acknowledging the true consequences of their actions. Young men face the pressures of having to upkeep their masculinity and man hood therefore they push away emotions and any famine characteristics. Majority of boys are attracted to violence whether it be video games, movies, and horse-playing. Feldman once states that society and culture has a huge influence on a child and parents upbringing (2016). Messages from society predisposes and contributes to young men aggressive behavior.
