My son would like to know if he did the right thing in letting this girl go.He felt she was to clingy and she seemed to like someone else but could never be honest in her answer.Every time he asked her about this she could not look him in the eyes and she would look off.Also she didn't seem as happy unless she was with the other guy.He only stayed in the relationship because he felt sorry for her.He needs a males perspective on this if he should stay or get out.

Yea that is genuis advice. Sixteen is too young to be dealing with STD's, unwanted pregnancy, still birth, abortion, and or child birth, and child support. Not to mention angry siblings and parents. Yea you can tell a 16 to use a condom that that has a very high vailure rate.

Sounds to me like your son has lost interest in being Prince Charming to his girlfriend. Maybe for good reason, teenage girls are not the securest people.

This one sounds a little intimidated by his demands about the loyalty of her feelings. Maybe she has had trouble talking to her parents or peers historically but a few words about communicateing rather than demanding and answer when you want the truth. He is smart to pick up on her body language but I would remind him not to jump to conclusions. Life is not NCIS. She might have just felt less pressure to be lovey dovey with the other guy around and actually does care about your son.

Probably in everybodies best interest to attempt and amicable seperation by just "drifting apart" and trying to remain friends. Not saying they are but it is likely that they have been intimate and she maybe clingey because she is worried about a bad reputation or pregnancy. It is in your son's best interest to be reminded that it might seem macho to kiss and tell it is not a cool social move.

This is a great teaching moment to talk about realestic expectations about High School relationships, personality types, and maybe the need to keep some women just friends and not FWB's be cause as practical as it might sound it rarely works out. Maybe asking if he sees some importance in not being so caught up in being a hero when just being a supportive friend will be easier to live with.

This may be a lonely time for your son. Girlfriend's, weather desireable or not, give a position in the social pecking order in high school and he may be in need of moral support. You want to make sure he doesn't do anything rash like joining the military or dropping out of school. Keeping and eye out for signs of depression is not a bad idea.

YMCA has a group for teens that give young people opportunities to have peer support with the input of quality mentors, activities to serve the community (very important on college applications), and fun activities that are a great relief for single parents and lonely teens. Membership is on sliding scale.
