This book investigates a wide range of the challenges boys and young men face as they grow up in the early 21st century. These include things such as increasing pressure to buy into consumerist culture, early sexualisation, exposure to violent video games and pornography, the particular risks they face as young drivers, drugs and alcohol, mental health issues and bullying. Maggie Hamilton talks to a number of boys and their parents and teachers, as well as professionals, to find solutions.
