1. Intro to the documentary |  The Mask You Live In follows boys and young men as they struggle to stay true to themselves while negotiating America’s narrow definition of masculinity. Research shows that compared to girls, boys in the U.S. are more likely to be diagnosed with a behavior disorder, prescribed stimulant medications, fail out of school, binge drink, commit a violent crime, and/or take their own lives. We are watching this to find out why this happens.

What are some reasons (or causes) why guys put on “the mask?” What are some of the short and long-term personal effects of putting on the mask? Use examples and statistics from the film as evidence to support your claims. Highlight evidence in your response.
