What
is the
boy
crisis
? It's a
crisis
of education. Worldwide,
boys
are 50 percent less likely than girls to meet basic proficiency in reading, math, and science. It's a
crisis
of mental health. ADHD is on the rise. And as
boys
become young men, their suicide rates go from equal to girls to six times that of young women. It's a
crisis
of fathering.
Boys
are growing up with less-involved fathers and are more likely to drop out of school, drink,
do
drugs, become delinquent, and end up in prison. It's a
crisis
of purpose.
Boys
' old sense of purpose--being a warrior, a leader, or a sole breadwinner--are fading. Many bright
boys
are experiencing a "purpose void," feeling alienated, withdrawn, and addicted to immediate gratification. So,
what
is The
Boy
Crisis
[this book]? A comprehensive blueprint for
what
parents, teachers, and policymakers
can
do
to help
our
sons become happier, healthier men, and fathers and leaders worthy of
our
respect.
