An anthology of 32 true stories by young men,
ages 14 to 24, on how they have overcome challenges
to success, such as negative self-image, unstable
family life, peer pressure, and dropping out of

"By being honest about their struggles, and explicit
about the things that helped them, these young men show
what it takes to change."

"At a time when we are losing so many young men, a
resource like Real Men can literally save lives."
—Pedro Noguera, Professor, New York University.
