why does my teenage son rather to go on the computer that play football or do anything physically?

Answer 1

Is there a reason you are UNABLE to write your sentence correctly?

Answer 2

maybe he's just lazy! do u know what he does on the computer then? either way, it's the generation of massive technology! everyone's glued to a computer nowadays coz u can do lots with it including play football on the PC and other interesting things. see what he's into, computers are probably his passion in life! that kind of interllect does bring in the money!

Answer 3

well you know how to solve this one....take away the computer and tell him to get the hell outside. actually, if you start them young, it helps. my son plays the guitar and that's what he goes to. i limit computer to 1 hour a day and we don't have a playstation...i think the things are evil. my kids don't complain cos that's all they've ever known.
ask him what activity he'd like to do.....at the gym i work at, we have a fitness club just for teens......they can go, get fit (monitored by us ) meet other kids and generally enjoy an active life. we also have teen aerobics, etc.
what i am trying to say is look into your local gym and see what is on offer for teens.....you are the parent.....lead and he will follow....if parents were active, then kids would follow. they do, i've seen it a million times.

Answer 4

I would check what he/she is doing on the computer that keeps them so enterained. it may be online games like Everquest, World of Warcraft, or Final Fantasy, if he is a gamer. They are learning to program or network computers, or learning to be a hacker.

He/she may be into Myspace or Chatting with their friends online.

OR the darker answer he/she may be looking at pornography or are being seduced by a sexual predator.

Either way, find out why they like the computer so much and where they go on it. Sneak a peak if needed. Its your child and its important to know.

Answer 5

My son is an athelet at School, football, volleyball and track. But when he is at home he is on the computer until it's time to go to bed. It's totally normal, but give him a time limit.

Answer 6

Some kids aren't physically enclined nor do they want to be. They like computer games and that is their hobby. It could be worse, they could be out doing drugs or drinking or smoking or committing crimes. Try to spend some time with him and let him know that you care about him either way but don't try to relive your past through him. He will love you for it later on

Answer 7

That's because that's what teenagers do. You have to force him out of the house and to do something physical.

Answer 8

Maybe because there is so much you can do on the computer. My younger brother is always on myspace and some interactive game on the computer all night.

Answer 9

because this is whats happened to our society- when we were young we were always outsode coz we didn't have PCs and the TV was rubbish- you need to get him out doing stuff and be strict at limiting his time on the PC to and hour a day- get him to join a club thats physical but fun like footy or karate or surfing or something then he'll get into it and realise.

Answer 10

becasue like my son he's socially inadequate and can hide behind the computer and doesnt need to depend on his lack of social skills, besides the computer is his bnest friend - teacher, lover, secret mother

Answer 11

are we all not on the computer like him when we should all be out in the rain playing football or hide out?
