In Boys' Stuff, teenagers write about their lives. It's honest, raw and real. They talk about what the rules are, how they break them, and what's really cool. "If I haven't done it by the time I'm 21, I'm going to cut it off and become a monk" (Johnny). "My room smells of eleven summers, winters, autumns and springs. It smells of the body odour released after a restless night's sleep and the deodorant which is in a constant battle to fight it" (Bryan). "You're supposed to go to the footy, you're supposed to drink a six-pack every week and you're supposed to watch action movies over and over again. I don't like football, I don't like cricket, and I can cook. I think being a man is whatever you want it to be" (Andrew). I've never really attempted suicide. I merely went through the motions, seeing what the pain would be like, without committing myself to death...Back then, I had no one to talk to" (Keith). Funny, tragic, shocking and true, Boys' Stuff is better than fiction. *** Quantity Available: 1. Category: Sexuality & Gender; ISBN: 1865085553. ISBN/EAN: 9781865085555.
