My sweet teenage son seems to be morphing into a clone of his new friend.
My son, “Isaac,” is 13, and this year he has become close friends with another boy at his school, “Liam.” While Isaac tends to be shy and reserved, Liam is confident and charming and considered cool. Since becoming friends with Liam, Isaac seems to have given up a lot of aspects of himself to be more like him.
On one hand, I understand the desire to be like one’s friends, especially if those friends are considered cool, but on the other hand, I am very sad to see him changing who he is. Besides affirming him, is there anything I can do to show that I value who he is and that he doesn’t need to change his whole personality?Oh, dear. If there is one way to get a 13-year-old to dig in his heels about who he is and what he likes, it’s to tell him thiswho he is and what he likes.
