The Realest of All Time
Let's be honest Somali men are failing worldwide ( on all the continents they reside) and like any problem in our community a Somali women has to fix it.Plus while they make us look bad, the entire community has to suffer . Because those idiots fly out to Syria I get stereotyped, not cool
Anyways, I thought of some ways to help Somali men succeed.
From my conversation with our Somali brothers in real life, I noticed they can't really articulate what they would need in order to succeed, when we have our conversations. They put all the blame on being poor.
So my first point would be grammar lessons/reading books so they can talk better.
Here are some things I can think of just from my personal experiences that could really help the next generation of Somali boys coming up
Even though this will not happen, I want to put it out there for Somali communities to take my model and maybe implement it

- Less time in sports and more on school work ( We have hardly any Somali pro players, its a waste of time)
- Part time jobs in middle school and high school
- A curfew/household responsibilities ( the reason why Somali backyards have gone to shit is cause of Somali men)
- Being taught at 9-12 years old about the dangers of gang life (Obviously)
- Older Somali men to mentor them and teach them ( Almost impossible to implement)
- Yearly dhaqan celis trips
- Being taught from 9-12 years old about drugs, sex, and treating women with respect.
- Learning a physical or technical skill ( Putting your kids in Scouts or ROTC can help with that)
- Education about radicalization/Arabs dont give a shit about you ( Obviously)
- Opportunities to start projects to help our community ( I feel Somali men need to help save themselves, instead of being victims all the time, plus its good leadership training for youth)
