I also don't think the kid is going to hate his mom to the degree the story suggests. It would be more like a confusion on the kids part. When I was in the 6th grade my little brother got in a fight at the playground about half a block (roughly 200 yards) from my house. There was a large crowd around the fight. Of course I didn't know if I should get into it also or go get my dad. I chose to do the responsible thing (I thought it was) and go get my dad. When we got there he broke up the fight and then asked me why I went to go get him. And that is when I saw the disappointment on my dads face. I have this thing in my head that tells me everyone is marshalled against me. I KNOW logically that isn't true but years of being bullied and hearing laughter as it happens will do that to anyone. My point is the kid didn't feel he had a family just like I went from feeling it was me(/us) against the world to being just me against the world. I never hated my dad but I learned not to count on him. Comment by this is me on 08/03/12 Now this story calls for elucidation. I'm quite certain the kid knew the cops were looking for him. Or did his mother not care? Really there are two sides to every story though I'm quite certain the mother was overreacting. Girls think boys are silly and boys think girls are silly and sometimes that carries over to adulthood. Are we not all entitled to our opinion no matter how wrong it may be? Comment by cathy angela davis on 08/03/08 I liked your story and will read it again.

Please go on developing this theme -- I like your other stories too. Light stories are fun fantasies, but these dark stories hint at the deeper truths that are there for those of us whose parents darkened our childhoods in these ways. Comment by Stanley Morton on 07/27/07 Mom lost her son when she forced girl hood on him. I hope tat boy meets Aunt Jane of Seasons House series. She will help him. Comment by julie j on 10/11/04 this was a very good story but to short i must say that there are a number of spelling mistakes that make hard reading but ienjoyed the story i wish it was a bit longer & explained a bit more Comment by julie on 02/19/03 Ithink that if you decide to do more of this type of story they will be very well recieved and i look forword to more of this story an excellent read Comment by Lauren on 08/15/02 I liked your stories, however, I dislike the "dark" endings to both. I think most readers come to this page for a brief "escape" from reality. Your endings, although probably accurate in the potential for damage to a young man, strike to close to a harsher reality. By the way, were you the little Ice Princess in the story? Was that part true? Sounds adorable. Comment by Jennifer on 08/10/02 Mistress Cindi, Comment by Kris on 08/05/02 I can only echo the other comments here. Good work. Ask for a Comment by Wendy Make-me on 08/04/02
Comment by Nellie D on 08/04/02 A story closer to the truth about the feelings created in a normal boy when forced to dress as a girl. This could almost classed as good boy to bad boy not the usual bad boy to good girl. It could use a good proofreader but the message is there quite clear. Comment by Pickles on 08/04/02 Ahhhhhh, this story was breath of fresh air. It shows the other side of the coin. The child abuse down to this GUY was terrible. It shows that being forced into a mold that is not your gender. We need more stories like this. Comment by Annie O on 08/04/02 Finally, a story that's closer to the truth than many of us want to admit. The psychic injury that can be done will last a lifetime. Would be better if you changed your 'nym! Comment by Jezzi Belle Stewart on 08/04/02 I would have liked to see this from the mother's point of view. Did she know why he ran? Was she remorseful after he ran? Did she try to find him? Did she need psychiatric help after they couldn't find him, etc? Comment by paula on 08/04/02 not a big fan of force stories but wouldn't of minded at that kid age to be dragged into the girls department of the store. Comment by Kim on 08/04/02 I am not a big fan of forced anything stories. But, as you pointed out in your story, being forced into a role that is not of your choice and certainly one that you don't enjoy, can have very negative consequences. If this is your goal for your stories, then continue to write such stories. Comment by Robyn Marie on 08/03/02 A concept seen many times before, but always welcomed. Editing and spellcheck would have made the story easier to read, however. |

The importance of reader feedback cannot be overstated. Authors rely on it to improve their future works, and it gives them the incentive to write more stories if they know that their hard work has been appreciated. I am not saying that comments must all be lauditory. Authors often appreciate honest, constructive criticism over simple remarks like 'Great story', although simple praise is appreciated also. There is no limit on how much you can enter in the 'comments' box. Sentences will automatically word wrap at the end of the line so please do not use your carriage return/enter key except at the end of your paragraphs. It is not necessary to use your real name here, and, email addresses are optional. Posting your email address will allow the author to thank you for taking the time to post your comments, and/or discuss critiques and address possible concerns. Be forewarned that abusive remarks and language will be removed, and the posters may be banned from this AND other areas of StorySite. |
