I have a teenage son (16 yrs). Actually, he is my step-son, but we have full custody for the past 4 yrs. Sadly, he grew up most of his life in a house where MEN were considered lower than dirt. However, it is not that way in our house. My husband works really hard and is giving the utmost honor and respect from all of us. We have 2 other children, (my step-daughter 12yrs and my son 12yrs) My husband and I have no other children together. From day one, they have all been ours! My oldest son (16yrs) has always had low self-esteem. We have tried everything to build this up. We give a lot of praise around here for anything. It had gotten so bad, we had to seek counseling. He keeps us laughing at home or around the family 24/7. In public or at school, he is painfully shy and rarely says anything. He has NO friends. NONE! Never has. My 2 12yr olds have friends calling or coming over or going over there house all the time. This is not a geeky, nerdy, guy!
