One thing that teen boys face is that they are held up to standards that they wont be able to reach quite yet. They may think that its wrong to do something that an average man does. Their held up to be strong, and emotionally strong as well.
Another thing is that they are pressured to be "men." when some aren't ready. Some aren't ready to face the real world yet, when others say that they should 'man up' and face it.
A metaphor is used to compare two things without using the words 'as' or 'like' in the sentence.
Example: He is such a pig - that sentence compares two things the boy and the pig and no words such are mentioned with 'as or like' therefore it is a metaphor
