Well he knows that inappropriate talk between himself and girls is not ok with me and it's been very open and I talk openly with his friends about their own similar situations etc too... He didn't do anything any other kid that age does though the only difference is that he got caught.
When I say talking inappropriately I also mean like saying crap like "I love you" or "I can't live without you" and stuff like that. I don't remember ever talking like that at 13 but the harsh reality is that kids do that nowadays. Luckily my son doesn't talk sexual or disrespectful to girls. I've beat that into his head regularly for years.
Of course their feelings are real and you can't tell them its jibberish but because of thier hormones and puberty and stuff their feelings are amplified too. So I am constantly trying to talk to him alot and keep him in touch with reality and make sure he understands that things change drastically from year to year and they will continue to do so until he's well out of school.
He doesn't care that I talk about stuff on gfy because he knows I talk about anything. He's a very good kid and he looks back already and laughs at some of the dumb things he's said or done in recent years.
In fact right now he's at camp training to be a counselor. He was voted in and all the other kids look up to him as someone that is patient and understanding. Other kids are very drawn to him and I'm so proud of what he's turning into.
But I will still snoop now and then to make sure that I'm not gullible like my parents were. I was a complete hellion.
