Paskha, that does not sound like the fun part of parenting. Could the poor lad do with getting something done about his skin? There are some quite effective treatments available for even severe acne, and if it's bothering him so much that he hides away then that's justification enough for consulting a GP with an interest in skin problems with a view to trying treatments and, if they don't work, early referral to a dermatologist.
Could he be depressed? A frightening number of teenagers are, and it's often mistaken for adolescent bloody-mindedness.
Were it not for the acne and the tendency to be withdrawn and not socialise, I'd suggest that, like many young men, he might benefit from kicking out against the government's dream of universal higher education (which I'm sure is a cynical way of manipulating the unemployment statistics) and get into the adult workforce with the option of picking up his education again later.
He'd probably benefit from running or cycling, but, as my 11-year-old once posted on a thread devoted to this very topic, he won't do it on your advice.
You got those cakes or not Smitch?
And presumably a day off work since you're here posting rather than looking at drains and stuff.
yes, all these things have been tried - has now been two yrs since he happily went to the Leavers Ball with his girlfriend of 6 mths ... split up in summer hols soon after
I know he is / or could be depressed, has many treatments and been to specialist, pills & potions, have spoken to Doc, wont take depression seriously,
Happy birthday to the sexy smitch. mwhaa, mwhaa
I would hate to be a teenager again. Firm bodies and clear eyes and the ability to sleep till 2pm are wasted on the young.
Happy Birthday Smitch!!!!!!
Lovely sunny day today :-)
How's lovely Brum ?
This poor JJ has managed to pile on 6lbs of blubber in 2 weeks but by heck it was GOOOODDDD!!!!!!!!
THANKS ALL re my shy offspring - am going for a cuppa to cogitate

This is the first Friday I have been in the office for 5 weeks!...so why not celebrate with a little internet abuse.
.....plus the hangover is not helping me concentrate
Hiya Iain !!!!!
How did the practicals go?
I've missed you guys :-)
See ya :-)
And I AM gone honest!!!!

Kevin will be OK. The routine at her school is that you get skirts that fit you in Year 7. By Year 9 you start winding the top around the waistband, and when you abandon school uniform in 6th form your skirt fits you like a wide belt. Very economical.
is that the mrs allways insists on buying the kids coats that they will grow into so they wander around for a year with sleeves that dangle down around their ankles and when finally a year later the coat fits she says oh that looks scruffy now and goes out and buys a brand new coat...in a bigger size......aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Quick break from revision - not really achieved much anyway.
Beautiful day here and I so want to be outside instead of trying to cram.
I am planning a longish -15M - walk this weekend so I hope that the weather continues. The lab does not know whats in store for him!
It's easy now because their coats don't have to be school colours, so a friend who has a big 7-year-old and a serious clothes-buying habit gives us her daughter's outgrown (or worn-once) coats.
Granny's handknitted acrylic cardies in insipid colours are more of a problem. We end up donating them to charity shops when we visit distant towns so that my mother doesn't find them when she goes mooching in Erdington high street.
BYE4NOW
