How Does Your Child Act
First of all I think that in the back of every parents mind are questions concerningtheir child's future. Like will it be a doctor, a lawyer, or the next president of the UnitedStates. But with these questions there are also more questions that are not discussedfreely like what if it is a bad child or it is uncontrollable? And will it do drugs or tryalcohol and smoke cigarettes? Another question that might be in the back of a parentsmind is about its child's sexual orientation. I know this may seem far fetched to somepeople but if I had a child right now in todays world, that question would not be in theback of my mind but in the front. I know that any parent and including me will love theirchild no matter what it's sexual orientation, but I know that most if not all parents wouldprefer that their kids be straight. This is not so they won't be embarrass or ashamed bytheir child, but only for the protection of their child. As we all know this world is not asafe place for people that are different. I think that parents are concerned when their girlacts like a tomboy, but they get really scared when their son starts doing what wetraditionally consider girl stuff. A
But looking back at this, it's weird to notice that we alwaysmade fun of the boy who acted like a girl but never did I hear anyone make fun of the girl. But she was still very athletic and was on the softball and basketball teams inhigh school. And the boy also just grew out of his phase. On the other hand there was myneighbors son. In the end something good did come out of him doing "girlstuff". Sothen a couple of boys used to go and get him out of his house, which his mom agreed toso he could secretly play with the other girls. The girl just grew out of the jeans and a shirts. And I don't believe that parents should push their child toact like their own sex. I think that this is societies fault. He was always teased by the other boys including me, but wewere all young back then. Maybe at that point inthe child's life they are not interested with what their sex does and doesn't care for it. For instance they used to take all her friends, we were all boys to baseballgames and hockey games. So the boys that are acting like girls, in their parents mind aretaking a step backward instead of accepting being a man and receiving all the benefits ofbeing a man.
