I just read a great, yet heart breaking article. Part of being a youth pastor is knowing that you are developing teenagers, helping them mature. I try to help teens successfully transition from being children to being adults socially, spiritually, and behaviorally. There are several things that hinder this transition, and maybe it is because I am a guy, but I feel like young men have more in their way.
I always feel like girls are always ready to mature, it doesn't mean they always act that way, but they are often looking for that next step in maturity. While guys are always looking to stay young, to play games, to remember their old toys and to buy new toys.
This I read today has some great, and frightening insight to the two major factors that are causing the "Demise of Guys" in our culture today, and it starts at a young age.
Please take some time to read this article - http://www.cnn.com/2012/05/23/health/living-well/demise-of-guys/index.html
