Hey guys, gals, nonbinary pals ♡ I have been making new music this year with the new name MISS BENNY ... LISTEN NOW: ua-cam.com/users/missbenny - I'm forever grateful for you. xxxx
:)
I LOVE YOU!!!
u used to be my celebrity crush LMAO but anyway omg I'm so happy for u like aah ur growing up so fast
Okay ...
Aw just seeing that made my day >~
"If boys don't cry, not a man am I" is actually one of my favourite lines ever.
Hannah Prince sameee
Mine too
Yes that's so facts
M g8hh8⁸huuu
U#
"when it comes to your love is it unconditional. when it comes to my love, anything is fixable"- this line hits different
What does it mean
@@lakshmidevi0123 I guess that straight people see their love as unconditional and perfect and they don’t glorify queer people’s love the same way.
@@O_Ciel_Phant0mhive oh thanks
I love this. Girls have TONS of girl positive songs, and a lot of people forget that boys need positivity too.
Nikki Isabella Boys are considered to be emotionless but they suffer too
Melisa murati very true
Well done for pointing this out
true
So true
can we talk about how cute he's ? and not forgetting his amazing voice
period
Im proud of benny because he came out at such a young age when i can't even tell my parents.
I feel your pain 😞
But I will be with you 🙂
Same-
Felix is proud of you too! Out or not :D
Wait. Where do we have this info?
Same here...
there needs to be more boy positive songs. thank you Benny, this is amazing. boys need to know it's okay to cry and be "weak" society has such a toxic standard of men it's nasty
But that is unfortunately our heritage of several centuries or even millennia, christianity only ONE OF THOSE factors of hate towards 'other sexuality'. But even more unfortunate is that it is up to us, the next generations to change our "weak" society to a more open and "stronger" society, where there is less hate and more people can be whom they want to be!
ethereal prince deym rude icon
but nobody should cry dried glue like at the start because.... call a doctor
amen i agree boy have it rough not be able to show there emotions are they will look weak it just shows the society that we live in
ethereal prince wow you really understand thanks PS using sis'es tablet I'm not Tabitha
favorite lines:
when it comes to your love, is it unconditional?/when it comes to my love, anything is fixable.
and
Cuz boys don't cry, not a man am I.
Monika Beilschmidt: Omg same!
Your icon is my life blood
When I was little I asked my dad “Why can girls like me wear boy clothes but boys don’t wear dresses?” My dad just shrugged. I got my brother to agree to switch clothes for a day and I still didn’t understand. To this very day, I don’t understand. It’s not complicated, it’s just, for some reason, the way it is I guess. But luckily things are changing and people are becoming more open minded.
because being feminine is hated in this society
@ShayAway you just described what misogyny essentially means
I think the same
That's cool what you and your brother did
@kqro lol. Cool story bro.
the true meaning of this is BOYS don't be afraid to show your emotations don't care about what they think , Join me and we can be friends and ignore everyone else
whoes with me?
Raineydaywoman Im with you boiiiiiii
hell yeah I'm in
Raineydaywoman, I am with you bro.
I'm in
It took you 2 years to drop another song but those 2 years of waiting were totally worth it
Annachiara , ikr this song is so good I like it more than little game already i think
Annachiara , yeah
Annachiara , no I like a little game a little more
|-/
Nahun Lavaire
omg same I don't want to be mean but I think that little game is better
I feel that Benny writes music to inspire us to listen to it and to make us feel what he feels all the time
Just like Melanie Martinez, only less quirky and fun and joy serious
Maya valdez that kid benny was argueing with in the begging hes from the FOSTERS !!!
Maya valdez those are the best songs
I think it's stupid how Other artists gets so many views and their music is about sex but Benny writes about stuff that matters and his music is better I wish more people could find it
Maread Ireland
Yeah. Same thing with Melanie Martinez and a lot of other bands/Artists of the alternative song genre.
Maread Ireland i mean i agree that benny should get more views but like pls dont put another artist down to compliment one ok? ariana is great too 😌
Nicii I know I love ari two she is amazing I was just s little peed off because benny don't get views i will change the comment
Maread Ireland I just did and now I'm speechless
I agree with you because there's some artist that write about drugs and sex then goes viral and everyone's listening to it then there's benny and other artists who are writing songs that have meaning to the world and society that are underrated and should have a lot more recognition
I really wish boys could be able to express their feelings without feeling judged...
Men naturally arent as emotional
@@damiansconberg4715 that's a groomed thought, humans are naturally emotional creatures and the human psyche can go much deeper than that. Males just feel more comfortable not showing it
Sarcastic Squash they are
They just can’t express them because of the hatred in this world 🌎
I think It is difficult 😞
e x a c t l y m y t h o u g h t s.
@@damiansconberg4715 bro I'm a guy and I'm more emotional then most girls I know
this song is so important.
I had study hall and it was dead silent and I just screamed all of a sudden and I was like "Sorry Benny put out a new song", AND I SWEAR like 4 other people were like omg so my teacher let us put it on the smart-screen and we watched this and "Little Game" and had a whole discussion on gender norms AND IT WAS AMAZING (it was human development)
Waynelle Ize crazzy
i want your teacher
Alex Spyrou 7i
have i ever read a more fake post
Waynelle Ize i bet you cowshit that never happened
a lot of people say that ben reminds them of melanie martinez or troye sivan but i think he has a beautiful original style of his own, its very expressive and emotional and im digging it
Theoneandonlyjuke thank you
yes!!!!
I agree even I'm a big ass Stan and know even real info for Mel's second album but he is not sounding like Troye or Mel
Theoneandonlyjuke FINALLY
Theoneandonlyjuke me too but know i want to listen to melanie
I love this too much
jessiepaege OMG HIII
jessiepaege me too😭
jessiepaege I should have expected to see you here XD your taste in music is so much like mine
mermaid mom has the same music taste I do, I am not even surprised lol
jessiepaege hey mom🙋
It’s sad that the word “gay” has been turned into an insult
Really? I think.... you must know.... Mm... About this MV
@Hølding Ønto Jøhnny BøyI'm sorry i cant help it.saying something is gay is like calling everyone bro or dude to me 😂
Gay started out as an insult I think
Yah that is sad I hear it a lot at my school. I just want so say " hey you idiot's need to stop technically the gay is to insult. Learn the real meaning of the gay then come back to this school. Bye..
I meant not an insult. Sorry I was typing fast.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG I'M ACTUALLY CRYING
***** |-/
OMG SAME HERE I ABSOLUTELY LOVES LITTLE GAME WHEN I HEARD IT AND WHEN I FOUND OUT HE POSTED I FANGIRLED SO MUCH CFOWEFVWE]GFVKERGVRJERRJ[BPVRJB[RP (btw your username is my life)
Panic!AtTheChemicalMarkSepticeyePiløts Same! Since "little game" ^~^
LOVING THE USERNAME
Ciara Lilly Gamer EXACTLY! I love Little Game, I was so excited when I heard he was going to make another song! (btw, Thanks!)
I'm getting a lot of Peter Pan vibes here and I love it
ikr
Now that U point it out I see it now , as I Come back to hear this song once again , it's been a while since I have
I think you mean Peter Pansexual
i saw this and was like no but then yh it makes sense
I was watching once upon a time while reading this comment and he is very evil in it, so i kinda laughed.
Well it looks like I found another song that will be played on repeat for the next year 😍
Ariadne Goss same
Ariadne Goss that and little game
Gender roles suck. My family is so homophobic and sexist. This song makes me emotional. It’s harder for guys to express themselves rather than girls.
Stay strong. It'll all be okay soon 💗
Same 😞
I try my best to be myself as much as possible no matter who has something to say 👠🌈🎀
So very true. I wish my family wasn't so homophobic and transphobic
Its very true especially trans guys, people don’t understand that much. Life is hard already and people don’t make it any easier.
Benny is my queen. I love him so much.
This song was released in a really bad time in my life. I was dealing with depression and the loss of a lifetime. I’m still in this period but it’s gotten better. I just want to thank Benny for this song. It really really helped me. I’ve cried over this song a lot of times. Thank you Benny. I love you. 💕
I hope you are okay
YOU'RE LEGITIMATELY AMAZING
AMY!!!

“Boys Will Be Boys”
[Lyrics]
I'm so tired of your illusions
The rules, they never change
And my mind is so abusive
From taking on the shapes
When it comes to your love, is it unconditional?
When it comes to my love, anything is fixable
And all this noise is so relentless
I need a second to breathe
Cause if boys will be boys
And we do the best that we can
Cover for our brothers while we suffer from our own hands
Boys will be boys, that's the way that this thing goes
When mothers lose their sons
And their fathers watch them go
Fathers watch them go
Fathers watch them go
When mothers lose their sons
And their fathers watch them go
I'm no longer taking lessons from those who broke before
Now that I am done confessing, the words have left me sore
When you feel the restless pain
As it crawls out of your heart
And the thoughts of yesterday
Bring you to where you are
And all these voices that once controlled me can't contain me here
Cause if boys will be boys
And we do the best that we can
Cover for our brothers while we suffer from our own hands
Boys will be boys, that's the way that this thing goes
When mothers lose their sons
And their fathers watch them go
Fathers watch them go
Fathers watch them go
When mothers lose their sons
And their fathers watch them go
Tell me how it feels to win it
Has it gone according to your plan?
Do you wish that you'd forget it or?
Or do you feel less like a human?
Ooh if boys don't cry not a man am I
Not a day goes by that I've had to lie
Who I was before
Since I closed that door
And it's all white noise
That boys must be boys
Cause if boys will be boys
And we do the best that we can
Cover for our brothers while we suffer from our own hands
Boys will be boys, that's the way that this thing goes
When mothers lose their sons
And their fathers watch them go
Fathers watch them go
Fathers watch them go
When mothers lose their sons
And their fathers watch them go
Fathers watch them go
Fathers watch them go
When mothers lose their sons
And their fathers watch them go
true and meeeeeeee :)
Thank you so much :D
Damn that hits HARD and its very relatable for me in school
These lyrics are hella deep, Benny is a brilliant song writer for sure
Thanks /)
*_where can i join this cult_*
*at the Wal-Mart's near you*
At target
wiktor dominiak no u
At your local dollar store
No, fuck you wiktor dominiak, you fuckin' ignoramus! It's spelt "gays". Get a life and an education before you show the world how stupid you really are!
As a transgender guy I love this song it's really freeing. Just to have a song like this to remind me I can be a boy my own way. That to be seen as a boy I can just be myself.
I think you miss understand the meaning of the song look at his song little game Benny would never tell you not to be your self. You are taking in a way that it was not meant to be, but if you need a really great girl power song for any girl cis, or Transgender may I recommend Icon for Hire 's" Now you know". It is a really good girl-power track and even as a transgender boy I love it. Have nice okay chin up.
Same!!
dude me too. I literally love this song sm it made me feel so happy but also really hurts cause I just really wish to be that free and to just go out and be with a group of boys being boys
I feel the same way. This really helps me as a trans guy struggling with his identity
Eliot K I’m assuming you’re joking. Girls have so many girl power songs and boys have basically none.
Tbh, I've gotten tired of all the girl motivation songs. It may be true that girls need motivation to break out of certain gender roles, but boys do too. I'm glad that I've found this song. It shows how boys struggle with this thing too, and I feel like it hasn't been recognized enough. I hope more people find this song so they can also realize this.
emerald lightningbolt Thanks You because some boys are put in this box that they need to act strong but some of us dont and we get bullied some killed for being who they are
they are both important, we shouldn't get "tired" of girl empowerment songs or boy ones, we all deserve to feel strong and know our worth. i agree that we should have songs about boys breaking out of gender roles too, but we should not ditch the girls ones
It is true, both genders, both girls AND boys need motivation songs!
Even as a female, I agree entirely
fangirl meets world he is not saying to ditch them or ignore or throw them away he just means there are so many of them all over but you never hear one for boys he is tired of hearing only motivational songs for girls and wants some for boys too
How could anyone not like this?! "Mothers lose their sons and fathers watch them go," So true!
I'm in love with the look with the tears and orange eyeshadow. It's so good.
17 and published 2 songs. Im so proud of you ben ❤️
Two *beautiful* songs
litrahlee_ wh- he's 17??? I thought he'd be like...idk, 20?? lolol
Just Another Weirdo ikr. But he's 17.
litrahlee_ wait isnt he 18
no. He was born in 1999. Making him 17 this year and 18 next year.
*1727372 years after little game* this was so worth it!
Geni Gaming so true
Geni Gaming You have the reason
Geni Gaming yeah
how do u type thick text
*boom*
Dad of BENNY: *watches this*
Dad of BENNY: *turns to BENNY*
BENNY: ItS jUsT mUsIc RiGhT?
Amina Bobina the father scrolls to coments and sees this:
Omg this is beautiful. His VOICE ❤ I'm so happy I found this. And all these boys are so 😍 But can someone explain the meaning of the song and music video to me?
dad doesn't approve of sons choices (broad meaning)
Areebah Jahin It's about gender roles and that "boys don't cry"
Areebah Jahin according to Ben it's about toxic masculinity.
Areebah Jahin :
Boys will be boys
it's about how society thinks all males are supposed to be masculine and act like a man
Essentially about breaking free from the stereotype created by society of how boys should behave.
i'm a transboy and I've been treated like a boy my whole life, and now when I cry hearing this i'm called pathetic, by myself and others. thank you Benny, for bringing this beautiful song into my life.
cheapwiltedroses
Honestly same, I've been in the closet and struggling to be seen as "manly" by others close to me, but damn this song gets to me and I remind myself that I am a boy, despite what anyone else tells me
cheapwiltedroses I don't want to come off rude but if you are a trans boy does that mean you were a girl or you were a boy just wanting to know for future encounters I guess
I-ship-it dark I know many trans people (at least 20), and when they say trans boy, they mean identify as boy now but assigned female at birth. But wilted roses seems to be using it differently? Also the way I just said is always how I've seen it on the internet before now, so I really don't know. But if wilted roses was treated like a boy their whole life, as they're saying, and they're trans, maybe they are what I know of as a trans girl?... *shrug*
BookWerm Minecraft SPN thank you
I'm also a transboy and this song really hit me right in the heart.
"We cover for our brothers while we suffer by our own hand."
Powerful lyric.
this song is SO good and the music video is JUST AS BEAUTIFUL!
Your songs give me life.
They make me cry they have so much emotion.
I 100% support LGBTQ+
Pluto cchio YES! Yes yes YESSSS!
Yesss! ❤️❤️
Pluto cchio Thxxxx I appreciate it
Agreed but this is more about gender roles ..
YES HELL YE
•Boys cry too
•Boys need emotional support and to support each other too
•Boys can wear makeup and dresses too
•Boys can be in ballet too
Girls used to be scrutinized for wearing pants, so why is it that boys still can’t wear dresses? That’s b.s.
Just some facts from your friendly neighborhood lesbian 🌈💕
I love your point. But I also want to add onto it by saying that women are also criticised for not performing gender expression, hence the angry 'fat' feminist trope where a woman who cant perform gender or is unconventionally beautiful is supposedly rejected by men and becomes a feminist, the fact that a lot of women/girls who dress androgynously are called lesbians (which shouldn't be an insult anyway but) and that trope where a woman cop is played for laughs and seen as a joke for being too 'manly' and often gets a makeover by the end of the movie. The patriachy also effects men too though. I don't want to distract from that, it's just by saying that women used to be criticised for wearing pants, you are implying that women aren't also criticised for not performing gender.
I love people like you
Well said. I went to a summer camp where a little boy named Eli would wear a dress everyday and it warmed my heart.
@@hannahreynolds9446 that is amazing
Couldn't be more agree.
I really want these kind of friends where we can just go hang in the woods make stuff and dance..... okay maybe I want to be a lost girl and it influences my goals
I'm so tired of your illusions
Rules, they never change
And my mind is so abusive from taking on the shapes
When it comes to your love, is it unconditional?
When it comes to my love, anything is fixable
And all this noise is so relentless
I need a second to breathe
[Chorus]
'Cause if boys will be boys, and we do the best that we can
Cover for our brothers while we suffer from our own hands
Boys will be boys, that's the way that this thing goes
When mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go
Fathers watch them go
Fathers watch them go
When mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go
[Verse 2]
I'm no longer taking lessons from those that broke before
Now that I am done confessing the words have left me sore
When you feel the restless pain as it crawls out of your heart
And the thoughts of yesterday bring you to where you are
And all these voices that once controlled me
Can't contain me here
[Chorus]
'Cause if boys will be boys, and we do the best that we can
Cover for our brothers while we suffer from our own hands
Boys will be boys, that's the way that this thing goes
When mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go
Fathers watch them go
Fathers watch them go
When mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go
[Bridge]
Tell me how it feels to win it
Has it gone according to your plan?
Do you wish that you'd forget it?
Or, or do you feel less like a human?
Oh, if boys don't cry, not a man am I
Not a day goes by that I've had to lie
Who I was before
Since I closed that door
And it's all white noise
That boys must be boys
[Chorus]
'Cause if boys will be boys, and we do the best that we can

When mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go
Fathers watch them go
Fathers watch them go
When mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go
Thanks😊
That's copy and pasted dude I went on Google and found it exactly like that. Make it original next time also don't do that to any other songd
Meli Moocow love the way you laid out the music
Wormy McSquirmy It's useful to have it right it the comments when you're hard of hearing and captions don't work. Plus, most people don't put lyrics in the description.
Wormy McSquirmy no offence but no one asked for ur opinion if u don't like it don't look but what this person did is very useful to others just because it wasn't useful to u doesn't mean he shouldn't do it plus they can do what they want it's not up to u it's their life and it's their decisions they choose not u or other people
This song brings me to tears every time I hear it. Thank you for making this, it makes me feel a little less alone for some reason
Omg I love this so much. I'm getting Troy Sivan vibes and I Love that. But at the same time it's your own unique song. Keep it up you go Benny
Barrett Moebes *Troye 😂
Barrett Moebes ikr 😍😍😂
Like a mix of Troye sivan and melanie martinez
the location is *goals*
the message is *goals*
the music is *goals*
YOU are *goals!*
Benny and Melanie Martinez need to write a song together. Like right now
Aliyah Quinton Agreed!
Aliyah Quinton ikr
They haven't done a song together but there is a mash up of Little Game and Dollhouse and it's incredibly well done if you want something to hold you over until these two do make something together.
Aliyah Quinton and Troye Sivan
Aliyah Quinton YES PLEASE
Ok can we just talk bout his GORGEOUS nails?
I am happy your a person. I am happy I have found you. I am happy your music will now be a part of my life.
waiting 2 years was totally worth it ❤💙❤ luv u benny

Alyssa Wynn thank you for that
thank you for this, I'm hard of hearing and had a hard time understanding what was being said and when I looked up the lyrics online there were none (not surprising really since this just came out) anyway thanks
Alyssa Wynn Hope this isn't rude, but to me it sounds like he's saying "when it comes to my love, anything is fixable" and instead of "when it comes to my love and the thing that's fixable". I also believe it's "all this noise is so relentless" instead of "all these noises, so relentless"
I agree with ^^, and I think it's "Not a day goes by that I've had to like/Who I was before since I closed that door"..... idk we're all figuring this out together
Renee Barriere Vidisha Jha
I first wrote down the lyrics late at night and my earbuds didn't have very good sound quality. Thanks for letting me know!
Benny is great he has only made two songs but I love him and his messages and story's he gives the songs
Phanic! Meets Melanie Martinez YOUR A SNAZZY PERSON GOOD JOB, YOI WATCH PHAN TOOOOO
Phanic! Meets Melanie Martinez i've looking for this comment
he has more songs, these are the only songs with videos though
I haven't heard this song in so long. I still love it though.
This video was on my recommendation list and I'm honestly so happy it was
This is amazing❤️
Same its so amazing that he did the same concept like girls will be girls because the song is awesome
Cosmic Bleach Ya! Now my life is complete
0:50 is the part I couldn't stop replaying
Same
Maria Eve it's so amazing
Nightengaile Sorrows OMG yes
I love him. I'm kinda sad that I didn't know about him when "Little Game" came out. He's great
When I was 12 I watched this video and I read the comments, they made me feel safe and not alone.
I'm 16 now I just want to tell you guys that you are stronger than you know, it gets better and I love you. You've got this, and you are not alone ❤
this was so good and NOAH FROM THE FOSTERS TOO IM FREAKING OUT
Daniel DeMartis I DIED I SCREAMED SO MUCH
cricky i litterally had to say to myself "WAITTT PAUSE!" and i had to take a second cuz i wasn't expecting him to be in this i was so happy
where and when
I ENJOY THIS SO MUCH OH MY LOOOOOOOVE
Daniel DeMartis yeaaah!!
OOH THE INSTRUMENTAL SOUNDS AMAZING, BEN'S VOICE TOO and i really love the positive ending
Milopi sugaaaaa
Milopi I like your picture
Milo SUGAAA MY BBY
the song is really kind of catchy
ARMYs everywhere especially in music video sections.
So to anyone confused about the message of the song, here is my interpretation:
He is more feminine than most guys, and thus is rejected by friends and his father.
Also, on a smaller scale, his dad being a homophobe as in:
When it comes to your love, is it unconditional?
When it comes to my love, anything is fixable
And then, for the "feminine" part
Mothers lose their sons
While their father watch them go
The masculinity enforced upon males causes them to drift away from their mothers, and more towards their father. In essence, she loses their sun early, while he gets to watch him grow up.
And also
Cover for our brothers
While we suffer from our own hands
A common masculine trait is hiding emotions, so while we help our brothers and keep them out of trouble, etc., and don't let one another cry, we also suffer on the inside, but aren't allowed to express that due to, put bluntly, having a penis.
Again, that's just my interpretation of it!
TheFabPanda 555 that cleared up a lot
Mothers lose their sons
While their father watch them go
My initial interpretation of this was that the mother is more emotional about their son leaving. The father, as part of the 'masculine' image, just watches his son go and appears to not care too much, while the mother loses their sons, and are greatly emotionally affected by it. Yours seems to make more sense though.
yea I agree
TheFabPanda 555 why did the father change character like the actor changed to a younger version? is it because hes reminded of his abusive relationship with his ex?
On-Point Pringle a) Love your username XD and b) wow that must suck :/ I guess people seem to think you have to be at one end of the pendulum or the other.
This song meant more to me later on in my life.. Thank you
Mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go...(this made me cry,even though I am not a boy)
SA B
Lose* and same
@@hondable21 basically the mother has an attachment and can fully comprehend why boys want to be themselves and not give into the pressure of gender roles, however fathers are so stuck in In the connotation that "boys are tough" so only the mother has something to lose. The father cares not
@@aurorasbox4398 Isn't that sexist ? No offense I just don't understand the point
The title really hits me. It has a different meaning with this song. Boys will be boys as in that there is a specific way boys have to be to be boys. I wish it wasn't like that. Hopefully one day you will never hear that phrase from a parent condoning their child's harsh and self-destructive behavior. Supressing emotions is never okay. Ever.
I'm so thankful I found this
In my country people are saying "you are gay" as an insult. If anyone told me "you're gay" I'll tell them thank you so much.
I think "gay" that means gorgeous amazing &yourself and if anyone wants to come out of the closet I am here
Now, get a hug my friend 🤗
lil enby bean says hello from the depths of the closet :)
must be british
"Gay" actually means "Happy", as you probably know. :)
Thank you for the hug.
-Enby_Airplane
@@roccstar8086 That definition is very outdated
i get ur hug :)
I love this guy, seriously.
The part where the guy was putting the stripe and dots on the other guy's cheek gave me a Hayley Kiyoko 'Girls like girls' vibe to it
Drowning Chorus So right!
Oh yeaaaaahhh
I remember when I listened to "Little Game", I thought that he was kinda like the male version of Melanie Martinez because of the similar way they write or create their songs -- they have deeper meanings
Until today, I'm so proud :')
This song is just so good that I actually began singing along the chorus
Kristal Quindoza same! The songs he puts out have messages that have a clear deeper meaning like Melanie Martinez's songs, and both are inevitably catchy😂 I just hope he doesn't get tired of getting compared to the same artist 24/7. Both are good artists and have their own styles, they just happen to line up with each others
Captain Whiskers Right?? I also noticed that his voice is somehow similar with Troye Sivan's. Nevertheless, he still has originality :)
Kristal Quindoza same here
Kristal Quindoza umm....I was confuses what is this video about?.....love between two men?
Kind of, but it's more on categorization in the society. For example, people expect men to be strong and manly but that doesn't mean all men have to be like that. There are other men that are sensitive and maybe even feminine but that doesn't mean people should look down on them
It’s never too late to come out y’all. YOUR TIME is YOUR TIME. Don’t feel pressured to come out just because others have. YOUR TIME is YOUR TIME. When YOU’RE READY you know.
I luv him so so much! He's troye and halsey and I love it
Sonia Oines I think he's more troye
Crampon Crap i said halsey because the lyrics are kinda halsey like
Sonia Oines -How about hasley and smiley???!??

Growing up in a family where gender roles matter, this is very important that it shouldnt matter if you want to act the opposite gender or not. People should be free to be who they want to be, who they want to like, and how they want to dress. I learned that the hard way from getting punished how im supposed to be girly. Growing up with only two older brothers, i didnt grow up very girly, as much as my parents tried. Just be who you want to be, no one should say otherwise🤙🏽💘
Lol I have an older sister and 2 younger brothers and I still don't "act like a girl"
It’s just that society doesn’t see it that way so...
Boys will be Boys
And
Girls will be Girls
We can’t change that, the damage has already been done
@@poshpa738 i disagree with you, i think it still can be changed by teaching your kids that gender role is not important
Tech ok think whatever you want but I don’t think there’s still time. It’s too late
@@poshpa738 how much time do you think enough?
Hey, Benny, I just wanted to say that "Little Game" actually helped me through a lot of problems. It was one of the few positive songs and was essentially my theme song when I was a little bit younger. You make great music, and this was entirely worth the wait. But I will admit that I hope you give more incredible things like this more often. Thank you for being a positive role model, there are so few left.
Wow, I don't even know who this guy is but this is one of the more powerful songs I've heard. Looking forward to more from him.
little game
hes a youtuber benny j perce ive wached his youtub sence the chanal only had 200 subs
+Destiny Cat thanks! Yeah I started looking him up after this video, I'm pretty excited :)
Destiny Cat does he have another channel?
Jenna Legault his other channel is Ben j. Pierce
i haven’t listen to this in three years. it’s still such a good song, i literally cried.
i'm not a boy, but this song speaks to me so much and really opens my eyes to the fact that not just girls are being treated wrongly. discrimination is everywhere and disgusting. raise boys and girls the same way!
edit: when i said to raise them the same way, i didn’t mean with things that very obviously can’t be changed between boys and girls. i get there are some differences that can’t be changed and that’s simply human nature. i meant with things like “being ladylike” and boys “being boys” like playing in dirt and stuff. why can’t little girls play with superheroes? why can’t little boys play with barbies? i guess i kinda phrased what i said wrong. i meant more let girls and boys do what they want.
cream filled how can someone think that the only girls are discriminated lol
cream filled True!
cream filled yes! Boys and girls are both discriminated in different ways. And they usually don’t recognise boys being discriminated because it is such a hidden topic
.:EmoSplash:. Wow that's the most dumbest thing I've read
Boys and girls are fundamentally different, you cannot raise them the same way because they respond to different things.
it took me such a long time to realize there was two different versions of the dad, the "current" one and a younger version of him XDD
but anywayz i loooveee thiss song soo much
Jojo Goldwyn
thxs I just noticed this!! younger one looks like Noah from the fosters
jadelyn adams fosters
omg thats why he looks so familar!!
jadelyn adams fosters it is the same actor that plays noah
Is anyone in love with the part where he sings "fathers watch them go"
EDIT:I CAME BACK 4 MONTHS LATER TO SEE 1k LIKES WHATT
Ya know what's weird. My friend listened to the song the first time and thought instead of, "Fathers watch them go..." she thought, "Fathers watch them die." I was cracking up.
I have most of the song stuck in my head but that part was the first to get stuck haha... I love this song.
DiamondFireLD _ meeeeh
righttt here 😂😂😂
pandasdjh _ yes
Guys are people, they deserve love, empathy and understanding 🥺 forget so much about the pain they experience 🥺 Love is love! , ❤️🌈
Not boy we need to teach our son's they don't deserve love or sex no one owes them anything stop siding with incels . Look at nature males don't deserve love or empathy .
They to fight for it or earn it
If Troye Sivan and Melanie Martinez had a kid, this is him.
Indecisive Rebuttalist IAS JUST THINKIN THIS
Indecisive Rebuttalist YES
Indecisive Rebuttalist no
Indecisive Rebuttalist tru but Troye is gay soo
TrøyeIsACRYBABY That panicked! at the disco ikr

YASSSS
goldben that’s me all the time
Musical Insanity Lmao same but instead of homework it's sleep.😂
SAME I have 2 massive projects due tomorrow and I should be finishing them...
major troye Sivan vibes, love it
As a genderfluid (I'm a guy rn) this really touched my heart and probably so many others. This video is so true, and hate needs to stop, for boys and girls.. We need to accept one another. Amazing video, very well done, and looks like I'm gonna be binge listening to the song for a few months now!
_eChO_ iN_tHe_MiRrOr_ oh god genderfluid. That’s so stupid. You can’t just decide to be a boy or girl whenever. You can be a boy and be feminine and masculine. You can be a girl and be both too. You don’t need to “change” your gender whenever you’re feeling more masculine or feminine.
@@neamhdhlisteanach6720 Dude piss off. Who cares?
@@neamhdhlisteanach6720 You don't have an opinion over someone else's gender. So, screw off.
I like Cheese you’re fucking stupid
@@CryTheRavens dude fuck off leave them be
I'm a girl and tbh, I do think it's harder for boys. If girls like stuff that boys like, people are lik: "Oh, you're tomboy." But boys have no excuse for saying that they like girl's stuff without being assumed transgender. I really think that's unfair and that boys should have their term of 'tomboy'. I don't want likes I'm just saying what's on my mind. Thank you.
Nevermind It's Me they are called gay and it’s horrible bc it shows actual gay kids they are an insult and the boy that he shouldn’t like “girl stuff”
Like yeah girls have it tough but boys can’t be remotely feminine without being bullied
Nevermind It's Me but yeah I think they should have a word for it
i hate names I think it’s tomgirl?
It's because in our toxic society, people are ashamed of women.
Like if a girl acts masculine she's praised but if a girl is girly she's often hated.
Society basically hates women.
Our society finds masculinity more valuable and superior to feminity. For example girls who want to be housewives or wear makeup tend to be considered weak or "fake".
I just really wanna join this group of friends it looks so much fun 😍
sameeee
m a x i I would like this comment but it has 69 likes
same, they look like a bunch of ppl i'd get along with
As people say: WERES THE CULT?!
This song made me cry because boys really do have to deal with this situation. They shouldn't feel upset or guilty for being the way they are.
Me: **sees Pansexual flag colours on face**
Me: *We all love a pan queen*
Gabriel Loves Hamilton where??? I need le Pan queen! Ahh! Btw fellow pan here
HEYA FELLOW PAN
Everybody loves any kind of lgbtq+ queen/king which I in most terms it would be queen bc anybody who is gay is called a gay queen for some reason lol
I'm not pan but yeeeesss queen
Awwww! Y’all are so sweet! And yes, we always love a pan queen, or gay queen, or lgbtq queen of any area. 🖤🖤🖤
World: has gone to shit
Me: I sleep
Benny: sings
Me: WOKE ASF REAL SHIT
Finally. Now, please, don't disappear again
"Cover for our brothers while we suffer from our own hands"
I'd like to share my ideas about this. I don't know exactly why I'm posting this in the comments section on UA-cam, but I have faith that, given the nature of this video, there are rational thinkers (or at least some respectful people) present.
Misogyny hurts men as well as women, which isn't something people talk about all that often. When masculinity is emphasized to the point where crying when a boy breaks a bone is considered "weak". When a boy likes art instead of sports and is called names and bullied for it. When a man is raped and tells someone, only to be told that he's lucky, that he should have enjoyed it. When a trans girl is so pressured by hypermasculinity that she feels like, if she transitioned, she would have an even more difficult time than a trans boy transitioning, which already so difficult, sometimes painfully so. When a boy feels as if he isn't good enough because he doesn't have a six pack. When there are plus sized female models, but rarely do you see plus sized male models.
It isn't discussed much because men are the ones causing the problem. But it isn't just men now, in our time. It's centuries upon centuries of hypermasculinity and entitlement and misogyny created by men. Some men. Ideals and religions and governments founded on the base thinking that men are better, that men are more important and more respectable and more capable.
A lot of boys are hurt every day by this, and yes, misogyny hurts girls and women much more, kills girls and women much more. Regularly. The statistics are horrifying. But the fact that misogyny hurts men is still there, is still real.
Misogyny and a paternalistic world hurt women so much more, it's true. But that doesn't mean for one second that males aren't hurt by it too. It's not as ever-present or as cloying or as terrifying as the discrimination and disrespect women face, but we should acknowledge that everyone is impacted negatively by misogyny, whether we have experienced it or not.
Finally someone in the comments can put their ideas in order without dragging anyone down and being respectful!
I love you so much omg (/;-;)/💖
LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE AT THE BACK
THANK YOU AAAAAA
I have no words to describe how good was your comment. So true all of this. I really identify me with this.
I listen to this almost every day. I'm a trans man but i'm still pretty feminin like i still want to wear dresses, skirts and make-up. But i also want to be refered to as he. No one in my family supports me and this song makes me crying everytime i hear it (Sorry for my bad english i'm german)
aww if i could i would give you a big hug and tell you that everything will eventually get better
I'm your family now ❤️
Hug* Yes we adopt you chillen!!
I don’t want to come off as rude in any way but maybe you should research a bit about gender fluid. It might be an option for u. Just thought I would drop by to give some advice
Yeah, me too , am the same....
People just dont understand that if a cis guy can be feminine then a trans guy can be feminine and still be a guy. People keep telling me I am just confused.
I used to think that Ben couldn't do a song better than Little Game, because it was pure talent. He proved me wrong. Way to go Ben on an amazing song with an amazing message
This is so pure
“Your mom gay!”
“Gays a crime!”
“Gay will only get you to hell!”
Insults.
Negative.
I want everyone to know gay is not a sin it’s a thing to be proud of. You like a boy or a girl good for you! I hope everyone should be accepted if you want to debate the fact that gay is wrong. Go ahead in the comments
Huh
Thank you
I needed this
"Your mom is gay lol"
"..."
*"which one"*
THIS SONG IS SO UNDERRATED
I am lowkey obsessed, I didn't even know Ben could sing like that. All I had ever watched were his KidPOV/Ben J Pierce channel videos.
I’m so glad that all of these young people coming out inspired others to come out to show their rainbow and their happy lives so I hope you guys find your rainbow 🌈 cause you are beautiful no matter what you look like. Hugs to you all love you all be safe
