For young boys, just to know you exist in any capacity is a strong feeling.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A kid should be told that you can have feelings.
Every teenager feels a wanting, a desire for something more, to be heard, to be seen.
When you're growing up, you want to feel part of something.
All of us, at some moment, have had a vision of our existence as something unique, untransferable and very precious. This revelation almost always takes place during adolescence.
See things from the boy's point of view.
When you're a kid you have this sense of wonder and wholeness and a strong sense of your own identity.
A huge part of youth is how you behave: I'm always looking for fun and anything that makes me feel alive - that in itself keeps me feeling young.
Boys are beyond the range of anybody's sure understanding, at least when they are between the ages of 18 months and 90 years.
One of the best things in the world to be is a boy; it requires no experience, but needs some practice to be a good one.
I think that is a universal adolescent feeling, trying to find your place. The adolescent who is perfectly adjusted to his environment, I've yet to meet.
