As long as he´s in a responsible and happy relationship with whomever he was talking with on fb, let him be. He´ll tell you about it when he´s ready. As it was already said by a poster above me, being 15 is hard enough as it is. Don´t screw up your son by being an ass about him being (maybe) gay! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30893241 Being 15 is hard? I'm 15... I take courses at Harvard extension school and wagner college, school is easy so I need to, I get college creds as a bonus. How is being 15 hard? After I finish my easy mode school work, I get to lounge around doing whatever I want. I usually study japanese and sometimes physics in my spare time since I have nothing to do. Maybe the 15 year olds you know are just stupid? Sure ya do. The biggest form of flattery is not believing me, so thanks. |

I have finally calmed down I am familiar with many things this was new. I grew up in the 90's and we were experimental but weren't grotesque there was still some chivalry and respect. Is this how kids behave these days? |

Quite a few gay dudes have a history of creating a traditional family, with a wife (or girlfriend) and kids---created the natural way...no test tubes or turkey basters. Technically they're bi, but libtards don't like dealing with that contradiction. |

Love him for who he is. The park sex needs to be addressed. It's a dangerous place out there. Make sure he's armed with all the facts.

I think you need to take away his facebook, and iphone and start communicating about proper behaviour in relationships. Its clear he is a social retard that is being sucked in by bad people. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29951542 That's happened to many young people. They commit suicide. Smart human you are. Crawl back into your single wide. What good is it to have a son, that doesn't even have the honour to raise children himself. He is worthless, unless he comes back to being normal. You seriously have a problem! A parent is supposed to love their child unconditionally. The problem in this world is not someone gay...the problem is people who think like you. |

| Bowyn Aerrow User ID: 30930370 12/26/2012 11:14 PM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If he is meeting up with a kid (young man his own age) then most likely they feel that the park is the best place to meet. And don't think they are having sex, they most likely are not having sex, just kissing, holding hands and other 'minor' signs of affection. Gay youth (teens/20's) of this century are not having sex until about the age of 20, unlike straight kids which are dappling at age 16. The main reason is the fear of AIDS/HIV. The second thing is fear of being caught. After all there is still a lot of anti-gay rhetoric. I would strongly suggest you become a member of Pflag: [link to community.pflag.org] Find a group of parents who are or have been in your situation and learn from their experiences. As a few have wisely mentioned, do not confront your kid about their sexuality directly. It is a hot topic button, ironically even when the parents are openly accepting it can back-fire and become a bone of contention. I forget the name for the psychology behind it. Pflag members will most likely tell you to take round about methods of affirming your love for your child regardless of their sexual orientation while at the same time reminding your kid that you would prefer for him to be a bit older before having his first sexual encounters 'saving' it for someone he really cares for. Kids have sexually graphic conversations, especially boys. Before the internet we had the school locker room where guys would tally off their imaginary conquests and build self-esteem by having everyone imagine that they were a sex god. The truth back then (and still today) is that most kids actually do refrain from acting on those impulses. Sadly, in today's world pornographic materials are readily had via many outlets on the net. This means that they get a slightly skewed sense of what sex is all about not fully understanding that pornography is staged and is tailored to meet the needs of a broader audience. Thus the kids have far much more knowledge of what is possible than what actually happens between two loving individuals. I assume you had 'The Talk'. and have told him about the many risks that any sex comes with, STD's, and in the case of straight sex, pregnancy. You might want to remind him that condoms are a good idea and let him know that you would prefer he gets tested and won't quiz him about the tests. Most cities/towns have public health departments. They test for the whole array of STD's. You might want to get the address and phone number and present him with that. They will usually test underage kids without parents consent since getting an early diagnosis if the bad thing happens is very important for the physical well being. And you may want to remind him that bad people use the internet to do things to kids. So he should proceed with caution. Since this is a local boy, he most likely is sincere in his perceptions of affection/love he has with this guy. Love doesn't mean he has to have sex, but you may want to seriously consider having a safe place for them to hang out together - an open, tolerant environment where simple touching (hugs, cuddling, no dry humping or sex) is allowed. And if you are open enough to accept another boy who is gay into your life, I would strongly advise not approaching his parents with the 'I think your son is gay.' line. That can blow up on YOU personally. "My Dog, its full of fleas!" -David Bowwow “A paranoid is someone who knows a little of what's going on. A psychotic is a guy who's just found out what's going on.” - William S. Burroughs |

I dont care how much people scream and carry on in disgust , being gay is NOT learned it is something we are born with. |
| Artlicious User ID: 21989454 12/26/2012 11:56 PM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Talk to him about safe sex, sex in general. Let him know that it's something he should hold in high regard and not give out to everyone who wants it. Growing up gay is not easy, support him as you would any child, let him know you love him no matter what, but don't be too obvious about it. lol But most importantly, start doing a lot of safe sex preaching and talking about the importance of forming a relationship before having sex...etc. Check out my artwork! www.Artlicious.com |
