Our Boys Speak By John Nikkah- Introduction

This personal narrative describes the journey John Nikkah had in pulling together his book on boy’s stories. In the beginning John struggled because no one else thought his book would sell. That was until he found an editor who felt that the boy’s views needed to be heard. It wasn't until John read the stories of the boys across the country that he learned exactly how difficult life had become for the youth of today. He realized that boys aren’t given the attention they need and with these incidents like the Columbine shooting has occurred. John doesn't blame the parents for this he blames the societies stereotypes of boys as being strong and doesn't need as much focus as girls. He thinks the boys of our nation just needs some more attention.
