    May sound silly but I have a very shy 13 year old that has gone to a private school where they wear uniforms. Next fall he will be going to the public High School. Does any one have info on what 13 to 14 year old boys are into.....clothes, activities, etc. He's been a little sheltered from all of this and is wanting to "fit in". Have to buy clothes anyway........any suggestions????

    I'm a single parent with a 12-yera old son who has ADHD. I can't take it anymore--his not listening to me, etc. ALL WE EVER DO IS FIGHT. I'm starting to think that it may have been better to stay in a loveless, zero respect marriage just so that there would be a man around to buffer the crap that I deal with on a daily basis. I'm the good-cop/bad-cop all rolled into one and his dad does nothing to help. Anyone know of a good therapist who is knowlegeable about ADHD and good with pre-teens as well as their moms? TIA

  24. Tween/Teen NYC GYN for my teenager....(more) 4-13-2011 12:11pm (7 replies)
    Just found out my 14 year old has had sex. I am a MESS. I had suspected so I had a talk with her last night and after denying it several times, she finally cracked. I'm beyond disappointed and upset and terrified! We did have several talks about the importance of waiting. I am relieved that she admitted to it, but now I'm just worried that she'll continue to do it unsafely. I explained that i really hope she doesn't continue, but that i would love her anyway and that if she chooses to go against my wishes, that she at least be safe. I need to find her a good GYN that can hopefully scare her a bit about the consequences of teen sex. I'm hopeful that coming from someone other than her mother, that she will listen! Do any of you have any recommendations for a gyn in nyc?? or any advice about what to do next?? :(

        Yes, he is a good kid, I've met him as I had invited him over for dinner a few months ago. They have been together for at least 9 months now. I had allowed her to go to some of his ruby/football games where i had dropped her off and picked her up. They talk on the phone a lot but that is really the extent of it or so i thought. It turns out she snuck to his house after school one day last month when noone was home. I suspected something when i overheard her on the phone last night with a friend she said "omg, what if she asks me, i am so scared!"
