Hello!! :o) Like some others who have already responded - I'm also curious as to how you know. But lets just assume that you 'accidentally' saw your son and his friend give each other 'hand jobs'. Contrary to what some guys say - a LOT of guys [especially young guys like your son] 'experiment' with each other. And more often than not - it goes no farther than 'mutual masturbation'. It's not a 'sign' of anything insofar as sexual orientation is concerned. [If it was - than MOST guys would be GAY - because MOST guys have had at least SOME same-sex 'experience'!!] But should you DO something about it?! Well... like what?! You certainly can't make it stop. You could - I suppose - threaten him or shame him. But that would just backfire and destroy whatever relationship you have with him. A parent always wants to keep the doors open [Emotionally speaking] and a sure way of closing those 'doors' is to make a child feel ashamed for being HUMAN. IF [and this is a BIG 'IF'] you have a good relationship with your son - and HAVE in past talked openly about things, including [perhaps] sex - you COULD bring up the topic in a 'round-about way. Without actually talking about him [and his friend] specifically [at least not at first] you could mention how normal it IS for kids to 'experiment' sexually with their friend. And let him know that THAT is OK. But also let him know that it's important to be careful about not getting carried away and doing things that maybe he [and his friend] shouldn't BE doing. THEN let him know that your 'door' is always open and he CAN talk to you about anything. AND that anything he tells you will be kept private. [And keep that promise!!] Saying anymore to him at this stage would probably just confuse him. I hope that helps. Craig!! :o)

Dear Skittles ...\n\nHe has lost his father and needs to have other grown men (who have their head on straight) to be with and to talk with.\n\nThis is very important, and he might not realize what is going on with him.\n\nHe is at an age where this is even more important.\n\nSee if he will have a look at the website below.

Not sure what you are asking, but I'm thinking it's about contacting Power99 radio station to plan a benefit for your friend's son?!?  You'd be better off to re-word your question to get more results...I'm not being rude, it's just not clear what you want, this would be a good thing to bring others attention to....

I'd say RV, I haven't seen it, but I've heard it's funny.  It's supposed to even be funny for teens, and your son would be nearing that age.  It's also supposed to be family friendly, I think it's only rated PG.

My parents wrote me a letter once where they told me how much they loved me had planned for me and how much they pray for me, I also went on a retreat. They told me they were proud of my achievements and that I deserved evrything the world has to offer. As far as being assertive its going to be very difficult b/c he is still a teenager and at that age you want to belong to something, but keep talking to him, tell him not to be afraid to stand his ground on what he believes is right.

It sounds like your brother may not want to be found or he has been kidnapped,and the people holding him are allowing him to write to you.\n\nAs far as finding him,I would pray! and then pray some more!\nDont ever give up!God Bless you and your mom! God bless your brother too!

I have noticed there are several young and too young on this site.  To the point, I second guess myself on what to reply to and not.  I too hope this site is being monitored in fear of the Innocent ones on here, just looking for answers to questions their parents may not feel they need to answer.\nI should hope everyone takes age into consideration when answering.  \nI guess if it is being monitored, they will get caught.

There is a person I listen to every Sunday night who helps teens and even goes as far as getting them help. If your interested then call this number or visit his website in the source(s) line. I hope they can get help here. These people are very caring.\nOh! Forgive me. Yes, it is very confidential.

Sounds like he just might have a crush on you as well.\nAnd he certainly no longer thinks you're a lil kid.\nRead the note, and answer it, would be the most logical thing to do.

Go to Christian church. Get some Godly counselling from the pastor.(it is free) He can also pray over you & your son. Prayer is very powerful.\n\nMany churches also have teenage programs which are real positive and fun which would bring lots of  Peace, love and confidence to your son.\n\nI pray the best.\n\nGod Bless!

AB NOT. Though I do not know about your family , etc...I do not think this is appropriate, not because it is dirty or anything scandelous like that, but we need to think about the greater picture - you do not want your child to be rideculed or anything further because of something like Prom. You should do other things to encourage your son to seek his own date, give him some ideas on how to attract/approach a girl (or boy depending on your son) - remind him how special he is and that there is most defintely someone out there for him!!! Worst comes to worse, find someone to go with him - do ANYTHING to find him someone worthy or someone who will make him feel special :) Good Luck!! (p/s i dont know what kind of financial situation youre in, but here is an ad a mother put up for her son....it may be a place to start!, if not, read the blog under it about peoples thoughts on this)

If his children are of school age, maybe send a letter to Olympia school system and to the Olympia police department.  You may get some a helpful response, or maybe they can forward your letter to someone who can help.\n\nAlso, maybe you can send a letter to his next door neighbors.  Maybe they will write back with information where he has moved.\n\nIn your letter, I wouldn't include that he is "lost in space"  "Lost in space" is very confusing words to Americans.  Try to use different words, and describe him missing in a different way.\n\nAlso, I think it is very irresponsible of you to put your brother's personal information up in Yahoo answers for everyone to see.  Very bad to post his story here.

You need to work on your question.  \n\nCan your son be arrested for trespassing on mall property?  \n\nYes.  (and he was, so that seems like a no-brainer).\n\nCan he be arrested for trespassing on mall property for ordering a meal to go at an independent fast food place?\n\nSee above.  \n\nCan he be arrested for doing what you've described above, when he was (according to you), only asked to stay out of the inside of the mall?\n\nWell, again...he *was* arrested, so evidently he *can* be.  \n\nBut I suppose this is the crux of your question, right?  Since he wasn't actually inside the mall, and was only in one of the fast food joints that are in the parking lot (and it's not attached to the mall??), is he actually guilty of trespassing?  I would suggest not.  If the fast food joint is attached to the mall, and especially if it's got an entrance into the mall proper, I'd suggest he's guilty, even if he came in through the door that's facing the parking lot.  Ridiculous, really, what the law can sometimes hinge on.\n\nWhat can you do?\n\nHire an really expensive lawyer, and see if you can get your son off on some minor technicality.  That'll show him that when he does what he's been asked not to do, someone will find a way to keep him from being held accountable for his actions.\n\nOkay, that's a little tongue-in-cheek, but I stand by it for the most part.\n\nYour kid got told to take a hike.  My reasonable assumption is that he was told that because his behavior wasn't consistent with behavior the mall owners want their patrons exposed to.  Your kid is a knucklehead for coming within a mile of the place after he was told to go away.\n\nBut kids are knuckleheads sometimes, and that's part of being a kid.  The thing is, at 16, this kind of thing really is going to be a very minor speed bump in his life.  You and he probably don't see it that way now (your kid wanna be President some day?) and I understand that.  Assuming he's never been in trouble with the law in the past, and assuming you have all the facts, I'd be surprised if he got anything more than a slap on the wrist...maybe some community service time or whatever.  \n\nSo what you can do is talk to your kid now about what he did, and what would have been a better way to deal with this situation.  When you get to court (and are you sure you're going to *court*, and not just the Probation Department for what's often called a "cite hearing"?) you can explain that you and the little devil have talked at great length about his offense and he understands what he did wrong and knows a better way to deal with this in the future and blah, blah, blah...tell them what you think they want to hear, and get your kid to be a little smarter in the future about things like this.\n\nYou can hire an attorney, or you might be able to qualify for the public defender.  \n\nYou can throw yourself on the mercy of the Court, ask to be publicly flogged, and insist on taking your son's punishment for him.  It won't work, but it will humor the heck out of everybody there.\n\nLook: I don't want your kid punished unfairly any more than you do.  I've got three of my own, they've all done knucklehead things themselves at one time or another, and I've stood up for them if there was somewhere reasonable to stand.  If your kid really was told only to stay out of the inside of the mall, and he wasn't *in* the mall, then I think that's a real reasonable place for you to stand and support your kid...if they didn't want him on the property at all, that's what they should have told him.  \n\nIf he truly didn't understand where he could and could not be, then advocate for him.  If you think he knew he was pulling a fast one, let him get spanked for it...he needs to be held accountable for what he's done, if you think he did what he knew he wasn't supposed to do.  He's not going to
