What do I do if someone calls me names or bullies me? Growing from a boy to a man is no easy task. Bodies are changing, social circles are evolving, hair is appearing in places it never was before -- and on top of it all, there''s the ever-present pressure to conform to the typical idea of what it means to be "manly" and masculine. But it''s easier to do if you''re armed with facts.

In six sections (How Boys Bodies Work; How Boys Grow; How Boys Learn; How Boys Cope; How Boys Love; and How Boys Make a Difference), she takes a look at what it means for boys to come of age in today''s world, how can they take control of their paths, and what can they do to help shape the types of futures they want for themselves.
