One final word here, and nothing you ever read from me will be more important.
If you have a son/brother or any male child that you love, if they ever tell you about their fears, don't punish, ridicule, ostracize them, at first listen. Whenever a man openly talks about his fears and then acknowledge that those fears may be irrational, that man is doing a service, a good thing, he sends a message to young men and boys that having fears is normal, that it is normal to have internal conflict, that it is o.k. to verbalize those internal mental conflicts. Positive dialog that follows will resolve those internal mental conflicts. There is a big difference between those who really hate, and those who have irrational fears.
