When Does A Boy Become A Man? by femixyz(m): 3:42pm On Aug 12, 2014
Would you say you are a man? If yes, then I will be happy to know how to be one and what manhood entails, but if NO, then we are asking the same question, which is: When does a boy become a man?

i believe being rational does not have to do with age. if that is true, then u mean a rational 8year old kid is a man?

Being a man has nothing to do with age, it is in the mind.
Kids are known to be emotional. But if an 8year old becomes more rational than emotional(which rarely happens) then he can be referred to as a man.

Rationality is for men, emotion is for women and kids. But we love them that way.

some boys have been responsible for their well-being right from their tender age and they fend for themselves, does that make them a man? smiley

Yes plus the physical 18 years requirement by law.

We have all spoken well. Let's look at it from this point. The cultural development and messages being communicated by the media has thickens the fog of confusion in the society over the question of gender.
Presently, boys and young men are desperately looking for models of manhood and answers to their urgent questions of male identity, male responsibility and male roles. The answer we are looking for goes far beyond biology and chronological age.
Hence there is need for us to think deep and bring forth answers from within us. Thanks cool

I became a man early in life, when I lost my dad and realized I had siblings to cater for.
I stopped thinking about myself first and think of how my actions would affect my siblings and my mother.
You become a man when you face responsibilities and handle them well.

Omo at times I wish I was still a child. embarassed

Someone once told me that "you're now a man" when I lost my dad years ago...I picked offence from the statement as it wasn't a reasonable statement in such a situation and I thought he spoke from a shallow mind (from vain words he pick somewhere without thinking).

He's almost 50years old and his dad is still alive and I regard him as "a boy" considering that he still has a father.
