A presentation/discussion exploring a number of subjects related to roles and role modeling for boys.

Charlie Brown speaking to Linus:

“I finally got up the courage to talk to the little
red-haired girl. I saw her lunch. It was now or
never. I went right up to her but I didn’t know
what to do.”

Linus: ”So what did you do?”

Charlie Brown: “I hit her.”
