Get them busy doing something they love (the idea of the kids making their music, makes me smile) or if your feeling authoritarian get them busy doing work/chores.

Ask your dad what his major concerns are about you driving by yourself. then try to figure out how to allevate them.\n\nmost parents are scared that teens will have a lot of friends in the car ,or fiddle with their phones and music so much that they will get distracted and into an accident.\n\nask for rules or a contract say these are the rules and i break them theni lose my driving privliges. \nfor example i will not drive with more than _ people in the car or i will not drive more than 10mi over the speed limit or i will only drive to school, work, friends house or whatever.  just let him know you are willing to be responsible.\n\ntalk to some adults your dad is friends with who have teenagers that are allowed to drive and see if they will talk to him for you.\n\nalso don't go in there with an attitude.  driving is a privlige.  your parents or the state can take it away when they wish if you break their rules.

You seem like you too are young. You need to tell his parents to get him into some type of help program quick. Even if he's upset with you for it, this may save his life.

People tend to say that the best thing you can do is show a teenager that you love them and are there for them by sitting down with them face to face and asking them what is wrong, what is troubling them.  By doing this you are showing genuine concern for them and where they are at in their life.  Don't talk to him like is a child, talk to him like he is a young man, and tell him that he can talk to you about anything and you will not get mad at him.  Let him know that this time in his life might be fraught with much confusion, and he might make bad decisions sometimes but that it will be okay as everyone makes mistakes and needs help at sometime in their life.

you can never be too cautious - I would totally be freaked if I were you tho!  (sorry don't mean to worry you) but do you have a cell phone if something  happens call the police.\n\nTell your parents.  Catch a ride avoid running into this person how you haev been. \n\nGet the license plate number and a description of him adn his car just incase too.

Don't be afraid, just lubricate.\n\nNo, just joking.  That kind of thing doesn't really happen any more.  In every environment there are bullies.\n\nSeriously though, if anybody does something to you which is illegal (and sex with minors IS) then the police should be informed.  If the School don't want to, then go straight there yourself.

You should report this person and make sure they're expelled...make a stand and show that you're not afraid...but try not to get into a fight if you can help it

Pray. And don't stop praying.\n\nGod is the only one who knows who can help him. He might tell you what to do or it might take some time for you to see that something is happening, but pray that he will be protected above all else.

That depends, if you are underage, I would start with something like e-mail address or instant messaging service.  You can always block him out if he is a jerk.  Even as an adult, I've done that sometimes with guys that seem nice but I don't know all THAT well.\n\nAlso, introduce him to someone you know.  People who have bad intentions generally get creeped out if your friends and family know they exist.  I know I seem like I'm a little paranoid but I've studied criminal justice and I've met females (adults, teens, and preteens) victimized by guys who "seemed nice".  \n\nAnother suggestion is to say something like "my friends and I are going to the movies (or whatever) on a Friday at 7.  You can meet us there and we can hang out."  There is always safety in numbers and it is a less obvious way of bringing him around people you know.\n\nThis is not to say that you shouldn't make some sort of contact with him, there are a lot of truly nice guys out there.  However, do not give him too much personal information too soon.    Take precautions.

Calling the police will get the kids to stay out of the street.  By making the call, the police will stop and talk to them, and tell them to stay out of the street.  Usally an encounter with police will make a kid really think next time before doing that again.

Ok I know you're probably against corporal punishment but usually it's the best thing. I'm a teen and I'm all for it. Other things though are taking everything(and I mean everything) out of his room and putting it in storage till he can earn it back. You can also cut off all connection to the outside world. NO phone(especially cell)computer, TV, etc. Probably one of the best things is to take his music. As a teen that is the one thing I can't live without. If all else fails show up to school in a robe and curlers and personally take him to every class. It's a good threat and don't be afraid of him whatever you do. Get creative. Just remember, you brought him into this world and you can take him out twice as fast. Good Luck! :)

Tell him to stop. And if he doesn't stop, tell someone important with authority: like your parent, or a teacher, or anybody who can slap him around. Unless he's like 3 years old and just doesn't know the difference. Then just tell him "NO"

Tell him to talk to his school counselor. They have lots of resources including Child Protective Services that can help him. Also, maybe your parents could be sort of relatives to him and give him a safe peaceful place to visit when it's bad at his house. They could make life a lot better for him.\nYou are a very good friend to want to help him.

I'd tell the police.\nYou might also talk to the principal at the school that the teen attends.\nIf you know the parents, and there's mutual respect, talk to them.\nBe sure your child is never near this person until this gets resolved to you and your child's satisfaction.
