"to man up".
I'm sure many boys were told not to cry because it is considered a weakness. I know many guys who were told not to wear something pink because it makes them look gay. My SO used to like the color purple until his father said it is only for girls.
I am sad to hear about it because a lot of men cannot freely express themselves nowadays. And if they do, they are shamed for "acting like a girl". If they don't get into fights, they're considered a coward.

Somewhere I think the issues are the same over the years, it's just the level and medium used to spread hate has changed. We had racism then, we still have it, but in addition to saying hateful comments or physically hurting someone, we also have a lot of online bullying, most of which is anonymous. Technology is something which should have been used for positive things, is used for terrible things in a lot of cases.viviannganyi wrote: ↑03 Sep 2020, 04:21 What are the current social issues explored by the Jeannie Nicholas?
To me, I would say there are some current issues that have been delved into by the author. For instance, just to name a few, there is racism, sexual abuse, etcetera.

Well said. She wanted someone to be her source of strength. It's so true in today's world where people crave for a helping hand and a kind heart. We all need such people to help us through the darkest days.gayscott wrote: ↑05 Sep 2020, 11:20 Many of the social issues discussed are the same issues we are facing in our society today. Racism, gender equality, sexual abuse, sexual orientation, and poverty are all present today. A lot of this has been more prevalent in today's world than in past generations. I feel our nation has grown away from God and people do not even know what is right and wrong morally. Only small country towns still try to address the issues in a proper way to help people. That's what she needed in this book...someone willing to help.
