Pros and cons about mentoring boys?

Question

i am a male 55. before i decide to mentor boys (8-14 years) tell me good things and bad things about it. i need to know both sides of the story.

Answer 1

Pros - Hmm, I guess you'd feel better helping kids who need your help, community service goes on your resume :D

Cons - Much more difficult than girls to mentor. They're more hyper & adolescent boys are known to be violent. If you don't know professional techniques or have no experience with adolescent boys you may find that you can get stuck in a bit of a rut if they don't respond to you.

Answer 2

Good thing, you get to help in the shaping of a young man in ethics, morality, and be an inspiration to them.

Bad thing, all it takes is a hint of scandal for the forces of the pedophilia witch hunt to destroy you and your life.
