One of many reasons "Boys Will Be Boys" is Crap

Today was yet another reason, in my book,

as to why the excuse that boys will be boys is just crap.

An excuse to hurt other people...like women blaming

EVERYTHING on hormones.

Yes, boys do stupid things and

hormones can aid in making a woman crazy (ha!)

but to play everything off as such is pure

C-R-A-P.

I think pride and big egos are why boys

do many stupid things.

Boys need to be tough, or at least appear as though they are.

If that means hurting another boy to make them feel

like the man they aren't,

then that's exactly what they do.

It is not easy to be on the losing team,

or to get beaten by your opponent,

but to do so with a good attitude far surpasses

any winner who has a bad attitude.

Just because you got knocked down in a scrimmage

and had to dust your pride and

big talking off the seat of your pants,

doesn't give you the right to seek revenge

on the guy who was just doing

what he was supposed to in the game.

To use an object, such as a football helmet

to inflict pain on another,

especially when they don't have time

to defend themselves,

is just LOW.

It's a good thing some boys can admit

when they've made a bad decision

and say sorry when they are wrong.

It's a good thing that some boys

can forgive as quickly as things happen.

Too bad this mom doesn't process that quickly.
