I'm having some issues with some of my son's new . He started high school this year and has made some that I feel may be questionable. Even some of his old are expressing some concern. How do other parents handle this situation? I'm worried because he tends to be a follower and not a leader. I don't want him to be influenced in a bad way with these new . Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I am not a parent of teenagers yet! However Remembering when I was and thinking about how I would handle this situation with my own girls when they do become teens, I do know that most of the time when you forbid something it bcomes that much more appealing. I guess the one thing you can do is sit down and remind them of what they should and should not do and have a discussion WITH them. I know thats not a lot of .

I too dont have a teenage child yet, but I would have to agree with amyyoho, when u forbid something, things could just get worse......I would try to get involve with your son and his new , like try to have them over to your house more, that way u can kinda watch......also be the one to take them places they need to go....(be the r) Like I said, I havent went thro that yet,...but I know it is coming.......

My oldest one just turned 10, so I can't speak from personal experience. But watching my aunt with my cousins I can tell you what NOT to do. She gets very suspicious of any of their she dissaproves of and lets them know it. That makes my cousins even more determined to stay with them. Trust your own kids to know right from wrong and don't come down hard on them. My aunt is so suspicious that she has totally pushed my cousins away from her. They can't even buy their own tshirts! If she doesn't like the logo or saying, she takes them out of their drawers and throws them away!!!! Again, trust your kid and let him know that you do. You may even discover that as you get to know his new , they aren't as bad as they seem. Remember, peer pressure makes kids act up around some and be totally different around others.
