(REPLY) Sat Nam. Most boys of your age are having a hard time trying to become men, Sikhs and non-Sikh boys tend to be macho at that age, because they mistakenly think that is "manly." Be patient, they will outgrow it! Meanwhile, they stick together, suffer from peer pressure even if they want to behave more like human beings (!). Boys are generally insecure creatures and to bolster their egos they can bluster a lot. I wish you could come to our Khalsa Women's Training Camp where we learn the power of Woman (!) and how to understand men and deal with them to help them express their finest selves. Meanwhile, please pray for these boys, and bless them to have right understanding. Also, in Rehiras Sahib, there's a portion call "So Purkh" that can be recited as a prayer for making men more saintly! Good luck.
