My son is 9 and still plays with racecars when nobody is looking. His older bro is trying to make him more cool by acting like a gangbanger, cuz he acts like a dork. No self esteem!! Go to the library or the internet and look up things on how to feel better about yourself for that age group.Get him to do other things yourself that u do not think r lame.

The best way is trying to be his friend, listen and understand his problems. Don't judge him but try to put yourself in his shoes and help him find a way to grow out of this. Remember also he is a child and is entitled to play, I epxect you liked playing with dolls at the same age. Maybe this gangster thing is a way to appear tough so he isn't picked on by other kids in the class. Maybe you can help him find other ways of improving his self esteem without appearing so embarassing to you.

GIRL, you gotta stop him...if you are white here is my help: tell him he will get made fun of...b/c lemme tell u something, i live in oklahoma, and when you get a wigger here...OMG!!! you get made fun of here so bad!!! now if you are from like Brooklyn or something, then he could end up getting hurt, for acting like a wigger...
If you are black here is my advise: well...i mean if he watches BET or nething w/ music videos, then u know it will just be like that, but if he gets to throwing up gang signs, you should try to not let him watch that stuff or w/e...and not only will it inspire him to do it, but its "his people" you know what i mean? i am not trying to be racist what so ever, b/c i am far from it!!! i listen to rap and everything, but i make sure i dont act like a wigger. Like the song Chicken Noodle Soup, i do that dance all the time...lean wit it rock wit it, do it all the time...its the fact of him being so young and doing it...if he were older it would change the story...
advise for both: let him do what hes gotta do...he will eventually stop, especially if he starts getting made fun of, if he gets in a fight...well myself i would go find the person and give them a taste...then they'll leave him alone...if you are over 18 DONT TOUCH THE CHILD THAT HE GOT IN A FIGHT W/!!! unless that person was over 18 also...b/c u will go to jail...get a friend or something that is under 18, that can fight...even tho violence is not always the answer!!!

try to make him think what he is getting into. at the moment i think he just wants some attention from anyone. if he Carry's on he will turn into a bully and then it will go on from there until he gets chucked out of school. once he gets started in a gang as a hard knock there will be no return. he will feel that he has to carry on in the gang or he will bullied himself. so u need to stop him and show him some attention and point out all his good points. and how its nice to help others.

Try to get him interested in other things. Whatever toys or something to get his attention away from the way he's been acting. Tell him you'll take him to the toy store if he stops acting like that.

It has to run it's course, no amount of making fun of him will stop it.
