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! |

Advice you asked for so here it is.... Do NOT condemn your kid for supposedly being "gay." That alone will start WWIII in the mind of a 15 yr old and could possibly make him feel unaccepted by you. We ALL know what can happen when teens feel this way! IF you feel the need to snoop on your kid's FB conversations, you must feel he needs to be gawked upon. If this is the case, and he is untrustworthy, remove his computer after you approach him with your VALID reason for not trusting him. If you can deal with your son's sexuality, great. Let him come to you, instead of you emotionally beating him down for it without even intending to do so. If you can't deal with it, you may lose him in many ways. One being he will hate you for your judgment instead of support. Worse would be what we all know can happen when teens feel unaccepted by their parents and peers...hint hint.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 22256525 United States 12/26/2012 07:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Dear OP, I understand your concern. Ideally, it would be best if your son felt comfortable enough to bring home anyone he might be romantically interested in. You know, just bring them by the house, nothing formal. Or even just more normal dates, instead of meeting secretly in the park. But perhaps he's still not sure and is exploring his sexuality before telling you for sure. And hopefully if he discovers he is gay, you two have a close enough relationship that he could tell you. I say this because I know the entire gay scene is somewhat challenging from talking with my gay friends, especially for males. There are a lot of predators out there: mostly at truck stops and parks. And it can be hard for them to find other good, monogomous gay males to date throughout daily life, though I hear it's gotten better. And also, it could be nothing at all. But I might try and drop hints now and then that being gay isn't something he needs to worry about with you. Good luck Op! |
