How do you encourage a boy who grew up fatherless to be strong? [I Love Family]

I've noticed that girls and boys react differently to the same form of encouragement. What works for one gender doesn't necessarily show result on the other.

But if it's someone you truly and deeply care about, how do you help him? What can be done to help ease him into adulthood with strength, courage and bravery?

I did had a dad but I didn't want to be like him nor follow and I avoid him much as possible.

@FreestyleArt Did it work, you think? Would you consider yourself strong in facing life?

@Casheyane somewhat. I had to learn some things on my own. He was a Drug addict. I didn't even want to think about It but he's dead anyways from overdose
