I was curious to know how the former eighth grade captain of the basketball team could be a man among boys. Do you think a 13 year old could really be like that, or is my teacher just kind of odd? He is pretty creepy....

Being a man among boys means showing a greater degree of maturity than the other boys. Can a 13 year old eighth grader be a man among boys? Certainly. It has nothing to do with chronological age, but rather with maturity, insight and character.

Lesbians are less discriminated against, overall, in the world as it is. The world is basically run by white, straight, old men who are likely from the south, and who also find it hot when they think about two girls making out. Lesbians are more accepted in society. Period.

I think it means the boy was more mature, had better leadership skills, etc. than the rest of the boys in his class.

yeah, he probably just means that the kid is just more mature an steps up to the plate and takes care of business instead of running around in circles i guess. i think that's what he probably meant

He meant that he was a leader, a role model and more mature than most kids his age.

I would think that he meant that his maturity, learining skills and such were of a higher skill than the others xx

I hope he just meant that he was beyond his years in terms of basketball ability... Thats what I would take it as.
