Over 40 years ago I was a young boy, the future still a thing of excitement and mystery. Who would I be? What would I do? Where would I go? Everything was still possible. But I squandered my potential and wasted my life.

I didn’t know it at the time, but the way my parents treated me scarred me deeply. They gave me all the toys a boy could want. But I have no memory of being hugged. I have no memory of them ever telling me something I did was good. I would show them a picture I drew and they would say “Not now.” They made me feel worthless, useless, unwanted. My mother would play sadistic games where she’d frighten me and then laugh when I cried out of fear. My father was brooding and unapproachable, quick to temper and irritated by my presence.

The Sateré-Mawé tribe believe that any boy who wants to become a man must experience the worst pain the jungle has to offer and stick their arm inside the bullet ant glove.

The Sateré-Mawé are a tribe that lives in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil, who have a bizarre and painful rite of passage that all boys of the tribe must endure to be accepted as men.

The Mawé believe that any boy who wants to become a man must experience the worst pain the jungle has to offer: the sting of Paraponera clavata, the bullet ant.

The bullet ant is a species of ant with the most painful sting of any insect. True to its name, the ant supposedly has a sting that feels comparable to being shot with a bullet.
