Series Review: A Young Man's Guide to Contemporary Issues"This series addresses major issues facing teens today. Masculinity, Bullying and Aggression is a particularly timely resource for stimulating discussion on bullying. Using logic that will resonate with boys, the author argues that traditional masculine traits like courage, strength, and aggression can be expressed in healthy and constructive ways through sports, standing up for bullied peers, or simply being true to one's own beliefs."
