What do guys think about friends, parents, sex, sport, drugs and everything else that matters?

If I haven't done it by the time I'm 21, I'm going to cut it off and become a monk. Johnny

In Boys' Stuff, teenagers write about their lives. It's honest, raw and real. They talk about what the rules are, how they break them, and what's really ,cool.

My room smells of eleven summers, winters, autumns and springs. It smells of the body odour released after a restless night's sleep and the deodorant which is in a constant battle to fight it. Bryan

FUNNY, TRAGIC, SHOCKING AND TRUE, BOYS' STUFF IS BETTER THAN FICTION.

You 're supposed to go to the footy, you 're supposed to drink a six-pack every week and you're supposed to watch action movies over and over again. I don't like football, I don't like cricket, and I can cook. I think being a man is whatever you want it to be. Andrew

I've never really attempted suicide. I merely went through the motions, seeing what the pain would be like, without committing myself to death….Back then, I had no one to talk to. Keith

Sure, we're in this book too. We wanted to find out about the stuff that was happening for guys out there in Australia and we pop up every now and again with some of our own thoughts about what the guys are saying.We decided to create a book like this because we wanted to give guys the opportunity to tell it as it is for them. It's raw and it's honest and that means it's really going to make you stop and think about your life, your feelings and where you stand. But it's also going to get you thinking about what's really going on in other guys' heads and hearts.Over the past couple of years we've been out there talking to all sorts of boys from all sorts of places around Australia, from Port Hedland in Western Australia to Townsville in Queensland to Rosedale in Victoria. Some guys we interviewed, some guys sent us stuff like artwork, poetry, essays and stories. Along with that came their experiences and opinions.So have a read. Can you relate to these guys? Have you been through some of the same stuff? Is there anything that you'd want to add to a book like this to share with others? Write to us at boysstuffOl@hotmail.com and let us know what you think.
