what happens to fatherless boys growing up?

Question

what effects to boys have on their manhood being fatherless.What scientific problems can occur as an adult

Answer 1

i grew up fatherless & he was there!!! i think that's worse!!!

Answer 2

I think he'll be fine. If anything I think it will make him more respectful towards women.
I think you should allow and encourage him to be a "man" and do the things that come naturally to him. Where I think problems occur is when single moms don't allow their boys to be boys. But I think a mom can be an excellent teacher of boys. Do boys need men in their lives,, sure. If you have an uncle or brother that is a good example to follow. Just let the kid spend some time with them. That's better then guys you may date. Guys who may leave. Look at the example that sets. You'll be fine, show him how to be a good man. Let him be proud of who he is. And encourage him to be a respectful strong person.

Answer 3

You get most of the same types of people as when boys grow up with a father present. Some go to college and get jobs and work for a living, some turn to crime, some just scrape by, some become ax murderers, drug dealers, or democrats. Growing up without a father present doesn't automatically mean that the kid will turn out rotten.

Answer 4

Very little. There was a whole generation that grew up without a father after the second world war. We all just got on with life. Teachers, doctors, relatives - all act as surrogate role models, so the boy doesn't get hurt in any way by the experience.

Answer 5

My boyfriend's father left him when he was around 7, I think and he is perfectly fine. He is probably a genius, very mature, caring, respectful, etc. Since he knows what it is like to not have a father around while growing up, it'll make him a better father by wanting to be there for his kids and watching them grow up. I know its a bad thing for a boy not to have a father figure, but as long as they have a strong mother who loves and cares for them and does all they can, then the boy will grow up just fine and be normal.

Answer 6

various things: not having a father as a role model most males will seek that void in the uncles or older patriarchs of the family. Some will seek that void in the streets with the men of the community be either good or bad influence (street thugs or big brother/big sister organizations.) Some will run away from home and become very independent at a very young age. Some will seek to fill that void with gangs. Some will seek to fill that void with homosexuality. Some will seek to fill that void with street prostitution.
Mind you some of these things can still happen with the father in the house, that doesn't spend QUALITY time with the child.

Answer 7

The last time my son had contact (or child support), with his father was at 17 months of age, and he turned out great. It is a myth that a child needs a father to become an emotionally healthy adult. I have lots of male friends who were fabulous role models.

Answer 8

I have a friend who raised twin boys from day one without fathers. The boys latched on to good men in their lives, me included and both turned out great. I remember a little girl who seemed more desperate to find a dad.

Answer 9

My self and my two brothers grew up without our father. I can tell you this, my mother kept ALL of us involved. We traveled a lot and we were always in different programs to keep us busy. Remember this idle time is dvils time. The things he is involved in and happy he's going to be alright. Both of my brothers are in school and 1 is about to graduate this fall. Pray also.

Answer 10

If boys don't have a strong male role model they learn to be men from women. Women don't know how to be men. So the boy struggles with what the world needs from its men and what he has been taught.
We are losing toughness, mental and physical, character,
work ethic and much more.
