Question Tyler,
I need the advice of a teen boy...my son (16) has a "friend" that is constantly in competition with him. Even though he currently has a girlfriend, he has decided to go after my son's girlfriend...in a big way. My son told him to back off but that didn't help. Now she has broken up with my son to date this other boy who has also broken up with his girlfriend. This is the second time that he has done this to my son and I am beginning to think of him as a stalker. The last time he only dated the girl a week and then broke up with her. It was like he was just trying to prove a point. He is a smooth talker and big flirt. I am at a loss at what advice to give my son, as the boy just seems to target him only and each time it happens my son is hurt. He is cute, a good student, active in sports and academic clubs and has no enemies, so we are at a loss as to why this boy is targeting my son. They are in a lot of the same activities. Anyway, what to do...small school, small town, always in the same group of kids for fun. What do we do to nip this in the bud? If I didn't think my son would get suspended, I'd tell him to punch his lights out. Thanks!
Answer Hi,
Fighting is never the answer. Can I ask have you spoke to his parents about this? Can I recommend James Windell Parenting Teen expert. It seems like he wants attention. As I'm not a psychologist I won't label any terms on him. It's possible it's an attention thing. That's not unheard of.
