Dear Queenie,
My son is in high school. Most of his friends that he hangs out with are girls. He has some friends who are boys, but they are also friends with other boys my son doesn’t like very much, so he doesn’t hang out with them when they are with those other boys. Also, he isn’t into sports very much, he prefers reading and computer games.
Queenie, should I be worried about him?—Concerned mother
Dear Mother,
Some boys just are not athletic and do not like the kind of roughhousing other boys their age indulge in, so they feel less threatened in the company of girls.
I am glad to know your son likes to read as well as playing computer games, which can be addictive.
As long as he is happy and is doing well in school I don’t think you have anything to worry about.
