14 year old son is gay?
I walked in on my 14 year old son and his male friend having sex. They didnt see me and i left right away. I dont want to tell his mom cause she will want to talk to him or something and just screw up everyones lives for months if not years. I dont care if he is gay, its just akward when i see him or when he says he is going to his his buddies house cause i know why. So should i just ignore the whole situation or do something cause i would rather just do nothing but i want to be a good parent without my wife freaking out and talking to him about it or make me talk about it with him.
Should a 13 year old girl and a 17 year old guy be dating even if the 13 year old is mature enough?
As someone who taught middle-school students for 8 years and high school students for 13 years, I don’t believe it is appropriate for 13 or 14 year-olds to be dating. It’s not that I think a 14 year old ought to be dating someone their own age. I don’t think they ought to be dating. Period.The part of the brain that gives us good judgement isn’t fully developed until age 25. So a 13 year old is roughly halfway between diapers and real maturity. Not only that, most teenagers today are considerably less mature than their parents and grandparents were at the same age. They’re less likely to have done chores for money, much less held a job. Because of the universality of cell phone, most have never been out of contact with their parents, meaning that they’ve had less opportunity to practice making good decisions. They’re less likely to know how to drive a car. Fewer of them have earned money with part time jobs. When we think about a 14 year old dating we make the mistake of imagining ourselves at 14. In reality, a modern high school freshman is more like most parent aged adults were at 11 or 12.So isn’t dating part of maturing. Dr. Leonard Sax, author of such books as Boys Adrift and Why Gender Matters, has pointed out that the average adolescent relationship lasts about 11 weeks from first infatuation to bitter break up, and is largely fueled by unhealthy expectations on the part of the boy and the girl. Far from practicing healthy relationship skills, adolescents who get into relationships mostly practice the most unhealthy habits. Kids who begin dating early are habituating themselves to behavior patterns that will lead to more unhealthy and unsuccessful relationships in adult life.Now let’s think about the 17 year old for a minute. This guy is less than a year away from being considered an adult. What kind of 18 year old wants to date a 13 or 14 year-old? A predator. Now maybe he’s a really moral young man. The average 17 year old male has the same sexual drives as an adult man but is still 7 years away from a brain fully capable of good decision making. He might not intend to have sex with a 13 year old girl. But he’s just one horny moment of poor decision making away from being a sex offender.“Please have a seat.”
Is it appropriate for a 16 year old to date a 14 year old?
It all depends on the two people. Maturity levels and behavior matter.A rule I like to follow, or at least promote, is the “Divide, Add, Decide” method… (For lack of a better name.)Basically, once you are 15 (or close to it), you divide your age by two and add seven. The number you get is the minimum age you should date.For example, the 16 year old.16 divided by 2 equals 8. Add 7 to 8, and the number you get is 15. So, if you are 16, you should stick to people older, the same age, or just a year younger.It may not make sense to you, but I heard this rule from a fellow Quoran, and I think it’s pretty nifty.
Is it bad if all your friends are a year older than you? I'm 15 and they're 16.
I was 16 when I graduated from high school, while everybody else was 17 or 18. What’s worse, from grade 7-12 the schools had class segregation by year, so 7th graders arrived, ate lunch, and left almost an hour after 8th graders, etc. So I NEVER met anyone my own age in those years. This minimized intergrade bullying but it played havoc on my social life. All the girls in my class were a year or two older than me right at the time we could start driving, having sex, etc. And California has a strict 18 boundary consent law, so anybody messing around across the above 18/below 18 divide can go to prison!It got better. By age 23 it did not matter. Several years of age disparity did not make any difference in friendships or romance.
20 year old woman dating a 33 year old man?
That sort of gap becomes a lot more common once you get older... I don't really see anything wrong with 33 and 20, though I hope you're not planning on getting hitched that young.
Im 13 and I had a dream about having sex with my friend!!!?
I had a dream about me having sex with my best friend's cousin (who goes to our school and in our grade) and I have been thinking about it all day! What does it mean? I'm 13 Everything I remember is that before I feel asleep I was watching the new season of VGHS and then Ki and Ted were about to have sex then I masterbated then I feel asleep. In the dream we went in a closet and started making out and then she started taking my clothes off and then i started taking her clothes off. Then after we were naked (we havent engaged in sexual contact yet) we sat on the floor. After that we talk for a minute and she was leaning back with her legs open and I was doing the same. Then we got closer and my dick went in her vagina (it seemed real) then we started ******* like that. I remember how it felt, her vagina was warm, wet, and tight. She got on her bed then I started to eat her out and she was moaning. Then we almost got caught but then we sat on the floor nude and she told me we should have sex everyday. So I was like sure. The next day (in the dream) we were at my house doing this and this time I came in her. Then she laughed about it when i came in her. She said we need to do it again. The next day (in the dream) she told me we had to go to my house so we did but people were at my house then we went to her house and her mom was there, so we went to her room and she locked the door then we started ******* in her closet. Then I came in her she smiled and then thats all i remember.
Why am I so bad at everything? I'm a 13 year old guy and I'm horrible at drawing, sports, you name it. There's this girl in my school who is 15 and can draw way better than me!
I know that's not true. Right away I can see there is something that you in particular are very, very good at. I've never met you, never communicated with you before, but I know for a fact that you're not "bad at everything", no matter how high a standard you are applying to yourself. Maybe some people are bad at everything, I'm not sure about that, but I know for sure you aren't one of them.You may or may not be bad at drawing, I have no expertise in that area. But you are unusually good at writing. You may not know it, but you have an exceptional facility with words for a 13-year-old kid. I can tell that just by reading the details under your question.I have been a professional writer for over 40 years and I would have been delighted at the age of 13 if I could express myself as clearly and fluidly as you have above. What is also unusual for this modern era of texting and twitter, your spelling and punctuation is perfect!Nathaniel Hawthorne (do they still make you read him in school?) gave us the perfect test for writing ability back in 1851:"The greatest possible merit of style, of course, is to make the words absolutely disappear into the thought." By this standard, you pass with flying colours. So much so that out of the 43 answerers to your question so far, only one (Anonymous, with one upvote by Parisha Jain) also commented on your writing skill. It's that good, that no-one else noticed. This is like Michael or Janet Jackson making dancing look easy. If no-one helped you to write this question, then you definitely have a gift for writing. If I was a newspaper editor or creative director in an ad agency (both jobs I've done), I would have no hesitation in employing you for your writing skill right now. (Though I might hesitate at the 13-year-old package it comes in.) You may not value your writing ability yet, but you will come to. Just because something comes easily to you, don't take it for granted. A person's greatest strength doesn't announce itself, for the very reason that they do find it so easy. You only begin to realise how valuable it is after you've noticed how many other people can't do it as well as you. Here's a little more on this subject: Your most valuable personal asset
What is the average driver distance of a 15 year old?
Average carry is probably around 200 yards. The better players on my high school team 9th-12th can carry the ball 240+. We have a 6 foot fence at the back of our practice area and out of the 15 players on the team I have 4 that can fly the fence. The problem is they don't have a clue to where it's going. You are better off hitting it 200 yards straight every time than to hit it 270 straight 50% of the time. Remember three 150 yard straight shots will get you on almost any par 4. One 250 yard shot out of bounds will let you hit your third shot off the tee box again. If you want to score you need to work on the the shots from 100 yards in. PS - I know it's fun to hit the ball a long way. Just don't focus on that as your goal.
My 15-year-old daughter still sleeps with stuffed animals. Is this normal?
When I was roughly 13-14 years old, my school had a lock in. It was basically a sleepover with my middle school class sleeping in the school chapel. I set up my mat next to my friend and proceeded to set up my few possesions: a water bottle, book, and my stuffed purple cow. I'd had that purple cow as long as I could remember, and had assigned it the male gender and the name “Moo” (very original, I know). A part of me was worried that bringing him would seem weird, but I needed the moral support (although it didn't help and I ended up having my parents pick me up and cried all the way home. All those kids in a small space was very overwhelming). A few people commented on it, mostly surprised, and perhaps a bit judgy, but I barely remember that. What I do remember is the friend who'd set up next to me was very pleased I'd brought Moo along because she had brought along her stuffed dolphin (she was 15 at the time). She'd had similar reservations, but had also decided to bring the toy along. Maybe it was weird, but since we’d both done it we felt reassured about our decision. I think we probably pre-planned the decision with each other so we wouldn't feel as weird.Now, at age 17, the only reason I don't sleep with a stuffed toy is because I keep knocking them off the bed in my sleep, and they don't deserve that, plus they get covered in dust and I have to clean them off. They're still close by on my shelf though.I also remember my highschool Public Speaking teacher telling us that we should practice in front of our stuffed toys to help us get more comfortable giving our speech to a crowd. I found it interesting that she assumed a bunch of highschoolers would have stuffed toys and that the toys would feel sentient enough in their minds that it would feel like talking to a familiar crowd. A couple kids said it sounded like an ok idea, so it appears she wasn't wrong.Moral of the story: a 15-year-old sleeping with a stuffed toy is not exactly common, but not weird either. If it makes her happy, let her be.
