Over the past 20 years, I have seen a huge rise in the amount of widespread negativity about our boys. Our sons have been heavily criticised by society in various ways such as – they are failing in school; they are not good enough; they are violent; they are threating and they are rude, to name but a few. The images that 
they have created of our sons are not positive or healthy for their self-esteem and future success. In spite of what has been said and documented about them, I do believe that they are powerful, talented individuals with unlimited potential who can do anything and become anyone that they want to be. I also believe that with the right guidance and support, they can excel and grow to become the cornerstones of our society.
At the moment, too many of our boys are in getting caught up with the wrong things, in the wrong places, with the wrong crowds and at the wrong times. And our race as a whole has been suffering the consequences. To save ourselves and prevent this from happening to more of our sons, we all need to step forward and give them a helping hand. More of us need to step up and give them the support that they truly deserve. Let us be the role models that they seek so desperately. Let us be the father figures that they have been yearning for, for so long. Let us stop the media from casting any more shadows over their characters. Let us stop them from being labeled as aggressive, troublemakers and failures. They have been accused, mistreated and misunderstood but let us come together and stop them from being forgotten.
We all have a moral duty to protect our sons, to rescue them and to support them. We must inspire them to achieve their greatness. They all have greatness within them that needs to be nurtured to shine through like stars. Let us all come together and help our boys to become the superstars that they truly are. We cannot afford to lose another generation of our sons. We cannot afford for anymore of them to become victims to the system. Today, they need us more than ever before. Let us all step out now and play our role.
