Deep down he’s hurting. Deep down he’s going through it too, but nobody cares because he’s a boy. On the outside there’s physical pain, and inside is emotional, but he has to suck it up because boys don't cry.

The author's comments:

When a girl cries she's over dramatic or it's actually sad. When a boy cries, he's justbeing a baby. That's not right.
