    I think it’s hard for both in different ways but let’s never discount which gender by a large margin leads the suicide count

    Being a boy is lonely in ways girls will never know

    Being a girl is stressful in ways boys will never know

    Boys can handle the kinds of stresses that overwhelm girls, in a way that’s why we are here

    On the other hand, I’ve almost never met a girl who when exposed to just how needy we are on the inside doesn’t respond with at least slight disgust. Only twice have I ever seen true compassion and even then the experience was harrowing for them.
