What do boys say about Boys Council groups?

Here are responses from boys,
9–15 years old, when asked about their experiences with Boys Council groups at their school:

• It is good to know that you are not alone. That people have the same feelings as you.
  
  
• I felt opened to talk and share.
  
  
• I enjoyed stepping into the truth circle.
  
  
• I looked forward to it every Tuesday.
  
  
• I felt opened to share because everyone did.
  
  
• I thought council was pretty cool. I would do it again.
  
  
• We talk about guys stuff; it would’ve been different if girls were there.
  
  
• Some discussion topics were personal but I liked that we didn’t have to always share.
  
  
• Everyone just became friends.
  
  
• It was good to just be guys.
  
  
• We were not teased about saying things in the circle.
  
  
• Make it longer.
  
  
• We could say stuff and feel comfortable.
  
  
• We did things instead of just listening.
  
  
• (I liked) playing games to learn.
