Summary

From June 6, 2000: Oprah and psychologist, Dr. Phil Pollack, author of "Real Boys' Voices," delve into the secret emotional life of boys. In Pollack's book, he says that boys are desperate to reveal their true feelings. From the outside, they look like the boy next door, but on the inside, they have this secret emotional life that not even their parents know about. We learn from young men across America who reveal some of their innermost thoughts about a lot of things: about sex, about violence, about body image, and how they really feel about their parents.
