Schools are undergoing a mental health crisis and adult statistics
surrounding male suicide paint a bleak picture of the future for
boys in our schools. From bullying and sexism to traditional ideals
of masculinity, outdated expectations of what it is to be male are
causing boys to suffer. Research also shows that this is having a
negative impact on girls in our schools. Clearly, the issue of
boys’ mental wellbeing has never been so important. Boys Do Cry
examines key research on factors impacting boys’ mental health
and arms teachers with a range of practical strategies to start
enacting positive change. Combining the latest research, personal
anecdote, expert advice, and a uniquely engaging writing style,
Matt Pinkett provides focused, evidence-based guidance on what
those working in schools can do to improve and maintain the mental
wellbeing of boys. The chapters follow an easy-to-navigate
three-part structure, detailing personal stories, key research and
practical solutions to the problems raised. With sensitivity,
Pinkett deals with a diverse range of topics relating to boys’
mental health including: Anger Self-harm and suicide LGBTQ+
masculinity Body image Friendships Pornography This is an essential
read for teachers and school leaders who want to ensure they are
improving the mental health of boys in their schools, challenging
toxic behaviours, and equipping the current generation of boys to
become happy, healthy, emotionally articulate men.
