And if somebody makes a valid point about something he does that's wrong, he will try to embarrass you in front of a whole crowd of people.

He will make fun of the way you dress, how much money your parents make, etc.

And when he is around white people, he is really cool to be around. But if he is around somebody black or Hispanic, or someone he considers to be 'ghetto' he will be really mean to everyone and degrading.

It is offensive because he is black but he seem to thing that every black or Hispanic person must be 'ghetto' so he thinks he has to be like that for them to accept him.

I'm not the only person that thinks this, even his girlfriend has noticed this about him. And it bothers her, but she is the type to just keep quiet.

How can I get him to just admit that he is wrong instead of acting like a little boy? It is making me want to stop chilling with him!

Im 25 years old and my two older brothers are 30 and 31. My father is now in his early 50s and remarried and has a four year old and one on the way. Growing up my father handled us very well. We were always well behaved in public and never acted out and had great manners or he disciplined us other wise. We knew better to talk back and yell. We respected our parents. My little brother is four and he acts like a complete spoiled brat and my father rarely disciplines him. It's almost hard to swallow. My brother is very smart but out of control. He throws major tantrums in public daily and even hits my dad and my father never really reacts. When I ask him why he allows this he say's "Im old now. Im too tired to chase kids down and argue. I did my share of spankings with you guys." WE were made to be respectful and now his younger son is out of freaking control b/c of lack of discipline. Has anyone ever expericed this? Is this normal? Thank you for all your kind answers!

Is this acceptable for her to have her hands down his pants?? I don't really want to punish them, it's normal right?? The joy of having teens!! Advice??

My 13yr old son told me yesterday that he would like to ask a girl out. I asked him what he meant and he said that he would like to take her to a movie or for ice cream. I mentioned that one of us(myself or my husband) would have to be there and he said that that is what his friends do....go to a movie and the parents go to a different movie.

My question is....do you think it's too young or do you think it's the norm for kids now? I understand and so does he that he's way too young for anything serious and there would be strict rules. He's a great kid(respectful, caring, honor roll) and very mature for his age.

Do you think we should make it a group thing(multiple friends) or do I allow him to go with her alone? Can I just skip to the part where he's grown??? Ha,ha!

Thanks for any help!

That is like saying it is okay to abuse old people but not kids.
You are for abortion or your not. Most people on here say abortion is murder (I do not agree) but then they say it is okay to have done to save the mothers life or if it was from rape.
I think that you all make no sense in how you say that.

does the darkness of the line mean anything? for example: if you peed on the stick and it came back positive as soon as the urine moved across the window, and the test line was much darker than the control line, does that mean you have a lot of the pregnancy horomone in your system? or does it mean nothing at all? i've been reading up on miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies a lot. if you had an ectopic pregnancy would the line be that dark? i took another test and it keeps getting darker. is that a good sign or does it mean nothing at all?
