ChrisT,
I have two kids, 15 yr old son and 12 yr old daughter. I would say that by far the only thing worse than a 15 yr old is a 12 yr old, preteen. What with her hormones all a raging, older boys looking VERY interesting, and woman hood no longer sprouting, but goddamn fully sprung. I grew up with three brothers and now with a son of my own I can say that boys are truly the drip dry version of humans. As long as you've given him a solid foundation, he's gonna figure things out for himself(for the most part) you should be there to keep an eye on things, but at this point in his life he might just need a confidant more than anything. just my .02
