Runescape is FORBIDDEN in my house! There are REAL people on there, and we found out - child predators also. I'm glad that my son had enough common sense NOT to talk to people he doesn't know on there!
We recently bought a PS2 - at a really good price on Ebay. I bought a game called Dance Revolution - it's where you dance on a dance mat & follow along to the people on the screen. My son loves it, doesnt even feel like exercising. I play with him too, they have some music on there that I even recognize. He's on level 1 already, I"m well..still a beginner. Never very good at dancing! But we put the gamecube in a box, which makes me so happy that I don't have to nag my son anymore about the hours and hours he sat on his butt playing computer and gamecube games..
My son is 13, not very athletic as he has rheumatoid arthritis. We live in a more rural area outside of the city. He likes to ride his bike, jump on the trampoline, go fishing, go to his friends' houses, or we just camp out in the backyard if I can't afford to rent a campsite.
During the day, if he's home and I'm not, I give him a list of easy chores to do. Otherwise he's on the couch, watching tv or playing games all day. And with the money that he earns, he can use that to go to the movies with his friends and stuff.

You say that he is not very athletic, but a lot of people have fun playing the sports just to be around other people their age. You do not have to be the best at everything but you may notice great mprovement in your child in the course of one summer of playing sports. Surely there is one that he could enjoy. He may even take up jogging. There is no competition, only self satisfaction.
On the other hand, your son may be someone that could learn to play music, paint, volunteer at a pet shelter or visit the elderly in the nursing homes or those who are homebound. If you live in
a place where he could go fishing, you do not have to be athletic to cast a line. If your son is really smart, he could probably tutor other children younger than himself, and he may make spending money doing that. My nephews really enjoy paint ball. They also
throw horseshoes. Be sure to ask you son what he would think
he might enjoy. Who would know better than himself what he enjoys?

you need to relax. no longer all boys have a 5" penis and a wooded area of pubes at 13. i did not commence til i become 14. at the same time as i become 13 i become as gentle as a touch one down there. Now mine is about an same as different 15 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous men. you'd be effective. it is going to ensue very shortly. you've some pubic hairs so as which skill you're on your way. All you're searching for will ensue in the subsequent 3 months. Watch! i will betcha i'm properly.

There are really fun things for young adults at Public libraries. You should check out your library for fun stuff he can do. It's a great learning enviroment, it's safe, and there are other kids his age there. There are also things at State Parks that are really fun to do. They can learn about animals, volunteer, and lots of more stuff. Good luck!

donate him to the Amish for the summer. they will whip him into shape. he will learn woodworking and such. then at the end of the summer you can pick him up at a local flea market and he will be ready for school again. mission accomplished!
