Boys' Stuff: Boys Talking About What Matters by Wayne Martino

$35.00 NZD

Available Stock:
0

Category: Sexuality & Health

Teenage boys tell us what they think about growing up, friends, sex, sport, drugs - no holds barred. What do guys think about friends, parents, sex, sport, drugs and everything else that matters? In Boys' Stuff, teenagers write about their lives. It's honest, raw and real. They talk about what the rules are, how they break them, and what's really cool. If I haven't done it by the time I'm 21, I'm going to cut it off and become a monk. Johnny My room smells of eleven summers, winters, autumns and springs. It smells of the body odour released after a restless night's sleep and the deodorant which is in a constant battle to fight it. Bryan You're supposed to go to the footy, you're supposed to drink a six-pack every week and you're supposed to watch action movies over and over again. I don't like football, I don't like cricket, and I can cook. I think being a man is whatever you want it to be. Andrew I've never really attempted suicide. I merely went through the motions, seeing what the pain would be like, without committing myself to death...Back then, I had no one to talk to. Keith Funny, tragic, shocking and true, Boys' Stuff is better than fiction. ...Show more

THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER RULES FOR BEING A MAN Don't Cry; Love Sport; Play Rough; Drink Beer; Don't Talk About Feelings But Robert Webb has been wondering for some time now: are those rules actually any use? To anyone?

Hilarious and heartbreaking, How Not To Be a Boy explores the relationships that made Robert who he is as a man, the lessons we learn as sons and daughters, and the understanding that sometimes you aren't the Luke Skywalker of your life - you're actually Darth Vader. ...Show more

Category: For Boys

A survey of the thoughts and views of 50 New Zealand teenage boys aged from 13 to 18 years of age. The views, ideas and beliefs of the boys are discussed with quotes from the interviews, in six main chapters: home life and families (parents, step-parents, siblings and family life); school (teachers , discipline, sex education and bullying); social lives (friends, parties, drugs, smoking and sex); communication (coping with problems, suicide and homosexuality); employment (jobs, career choices, the typical New Zealand male); and society and belief systems (racism, death, police, anger and religious beliefs). There are "questions for parents to reflect on" at the end of each chapter, but the book is not a self-help guide for problem teenagers. It is a local guide to what boys think about. The boys' comments are thought provoking. ...Show more

Why are boys so noisy? Why do they run around all the time and break things? Why can't they focus on important things like eating vegetables and tidying up?

Why don't they care about clothes or if their hair looks nice? Why do they lose the gift of speech at adolescence and how do I keep communicating with them? Why do they get so smelly? Why can't they just meet a nice girl, settle down and make me some grandkids? All this and more will be revealed with Nigel's trademark entertaining and edifying style, including pragmatic and accessible text, with quirky but relevant research and fascinating case studies to help mothers cope with the particular challenges involved in raising their sons.
