Children Learn What They Live

By Dorothy Law Nolte, Ph.D.

 

 If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn.

 If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.

 If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.

 If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves.

If children live with ridicule, they learn to feel shy.

 If children live with jealousy, they learn to feel envy.

If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty.

If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence.

If children live with tolerance, they learn patience.

 If children live with praise, they learn appreciation.

If children live with acceptance, they learn to love.

If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves.

 If children live with recognition, they learn it is good to have a goal.

If children live with sharing, they learn generosity.

If children live with honesty, they learn truthfulness.

 If children live with fairness, they learn justice.

If children live with kindness and consideration, they learn respect.

 If children live with security, they learn to have faith in themselves and in those about them.

 If children live with friendliness, they learn the world is a nice place in which to live.

According to ,,If I were a boy", boys care about themselves more than their  female parteners.

Hypothetically, Beyonce plays the role of a man to stress the facts that hurt a girl. As a man, she wouldn't care about what she wears and she would go out with the others, turning off the phone not to be disturbed. More than that she points that the male parteners expect to be waited faithfully at home, forever. In the end, she ironically concludes that he is just a boy can't understand. 

Hand-me-downs are things, especially clothes, which have been used by someone else before you and which have been given to you for your use.
