There are still a lot of 35 year old boys out there. I think what makes a boy a man is when he can handle life - through thick and thin - and no matter how tough it gets still keeps going without feeling like they need to find an escape of some sort. A man faces his problems and deals with them - a boy runs and hides from them. That is just my two cents. Parents lay the foundation, but it's up to the boy to grow up and learn how to be a man.
well put, rep coming ur way
