I'm looking for any guidance on my teenage son. He is a very good kid. Straight A's and very humorous. The question I have is he seems to be very sociable in school, but he is perfectly content to spend time at home with us and not spent alot of time with friends outside of school. I'm sure most mothers would think this is great, but I just don't want him to be left out of that aspect of high school. He is 14. He has a sister in high school also that is a bit more social outside of school, so I keep comparing the two of them. He is involved in sports, but is kind of shy around people he doesn't know. Is this typical of a 14-year old?

You have nothing to worry about. I think it's just the way he is and there is nothing wrong with that at all. I have a 15 year old son myself and he spends alot of time at home too. He does have friends and one of his best friends lives close by and sometimes he does go over to his house but the majority of the time he is here. He plays video games,chats online with friends,and he plays his bass guitar and listens to his music. He is also a good kid and gets descent grades too. Don't worry over nothing. Now if his grades changed for the worse and he was not talking to you about anything and was all alone constantly,then you might be concerned. But if grades are good and he talks to you and seems content don't bother him and be glad he's making things easy for you!! Cause they could be much worse you know? He could be out running with the wrong crowd and getting himself into trouble,but he's not and you should let him be! I'm sure he does have a few friends though and if it makes you feel better have him ask a couple over or suggest he go visit them if he wants. Consider yourself LUCKY!!!! And pat him on the back!

he is the second child. i don't think it is terribly unusual. i was the youngest and i learned from watching my brother try my parents patience.
i got good grades, nothing lower than a b, and didn't give them any headaches. because i grew up in florida, my parents friends were elderly. we had a few of them pass away over the years. i realised that nothing was guaranteed so you should enjoy the time you have with your family. and to this day i am glad i did. my dad now has alsheimers and i live in a different state from him. i miss my dad.

i have an only child and when he hit high school all hell broke lose. that is what i am doing on this forum.
