Masculinity
After watching the Columbine movie in class and seeing the other movie on masculinity, many things in both movies are very true about boys and men now a days. Their identity is covered by aggression, anger, and toughness; however, why can't their identities be covered by love, happiness, and sensitivity. This does not usually happen in guys because they need to pull off that "I am tough" look off to show that they are in not scared of anything that comes their way, but deep down inside they are scared, but if they can't pull of the toughness image people would think of them as girls and that's not cool enough for them and the people they are hanging out with.

I agree with what you said. Society has put a label on how people are supposed to act, but not everyone acts the way that they "should". It causes people to have low self- esteem. Not everyone can act the way that the actors act in movies, and people need to realize that it ok to act differently.
