It's hard being a man.

I grew up in a small family., a family of five my Mom as a single parent raising four children on her own my three siblings younger sisters and me as a young man.

One of the hardest part in life if you're the only young man in the house., Is to men up even if you feel down but you have to wipe your tears carry on and don't show your enemies that you're down.. there's a saying in Zulu (indoda ayikhali) which translates a man does not cry., that's what my mother taught me.

Many men end up with the drinking problem as we cannot voice out on what's bothering or eating us inside, after a long day at work we go for a beer or two just to cool down because at a bar that is where we find peace., you can even ask a married man a Bar or a Tavern you get a peace of mind there we become friends without even knowing each others names.

If you could research the stats a highest percentage of the gender going to psychologist or psychiatrist you'll find out that it is women because it's easy for them to talk about their problems unlike us Men.

At the end of the day men needs to be loved too, loved by our partners by our parents and the whole family, we need support we get broken and it's hard to talk because in this society you might end up a mockingbird. It's hard being a Man.
