Guys, we're losing sight of the point here. Whether he's the "cool" kid or not is of little importance. Let him think what he will. If it proves false, reality will hit him in the ass where we cannot. If it proves true, it goes to feed his ego. What we should be focusing on here is the girls and how little time he should spend on them. Mind I am a girl here... They are of little importance until you are of a sufficient age to figure this stuff out for yourself. Like whoever said, none of you are set in your ways and your bodies. The hottie may end up being the fattty and your friend cheer captain. Who knows? Stay back, watch all your buddies swoon and fall, point and laugh. Take notes. When you hit your prime, put those notes into action. School is paramount right now. Don't lose sight of that.
And asking here is really no different than asking on Facebook. Neither ideal, both serve their purpose. The difference is that most of us are of a sufficient age to give him sound advice. In fact, I'd rather he ask here than Facebook. And how many kids actually listen to their parents? Not getting personal, John was it?, just saying, we were there once too.
