Males who are in their teenage years are known to really experience bouts of insecurity because they are in the process of trying to find out who they really are. In the process, many develop some insecurities and esteem problems because they are expected to be real men at this age even if they do not know how. Of course it is because of this problem that so many self esteem books for boys in their teenage years were actually written.
One of the best books that could be bought would be one titled Developing Emotional Literacy with Teenage Boys. This wonderful book is written by author Tina Rae and co written by Lisa Pedersen. The target of this book is for boys who are in their tween and their teen years.
Now in a nutshell, the author aims to try to make the emotional state of each young boy more stable. As stated above, males at this age are trying to become men so that they will be respected by their peers, by their relatives, and generally everyone around them. This book actually does give some great insights on how males can build up their confidence by being their own person and not letting society dictate who they should be.
Second on the list would be a book named Battlefield of the Mind. Now initially, this book had Christians as a target audience because the writer was a Christian whose name is Joyce Meyer. However, many non Christian readers have actually found this book pretty useful in their lives.
Now the main concentration of the book would be on the negative thoughts that would destroy the minds of people. With the world as it is today, it is no wonder that people are developing thoughts of negativity that can destroy their confidence in themselves. This book would offer tips on how to deal with those negative and depressing thoughts.
Now the last book is one of the best for males in this age. It is entitled Real Boy, Rescuing our Sons from Myths of Boyhood. This book was written by famous author William Pollack who is an author of many books similar to this one.
Basically, this book recounts how men are expected to react every time there is a problem. While girls may cry or complain whenever something happens to them, society dictates that men cannot. They are expected to keep it inside and solve it because that is what real men do.
Now this kind of ancient mentality can be quite dangerous to the males of this generation because the author recounts that expectations are getting more and more. The author does encourage open communication between both the parent and the child so that the parent will know what is really in the head of the child. The author also encourages males to cry if things do get too much.
