About This Quote

When we are children and we begin to understand something new and scary, we tend to be afraid. But as we grow and learn more about the world, we learn that there is nothing to fear. As a result, our fears become less and less useful. In fact, they can even limit us from being able to grow up to be the best that we can be.

The quote above shows how this happens. A girl says that boys "don't have a very good way of being afraid." She goes on to explain that because boys aren’t used to being afraid, they have no idea what to do when they are suddenly faced with a challenge or a scary situation. She says that it is important for them to learn how to handle fear so that they can grow up and become better people.
