Hes 15yo and hes been acting diffrent. Lately hes been eating less, he crys alot for teenage boy, hes starting to wear black eye liner. I dont thinks hes gay but he has this friend tht comes over and i think something might b goin on between them(i dont care if hes gay i'll love him no matter what) but he talks about suicide alot and hes grades have been slipping and i do care about tht. Me and his mom searched his room the other day and found nothing bad/illegal. but i still have my doubts and worries about him. Is this normal or is something serious going on?

At 15, it's hard to define "normal." This may be typical teen angst, but it could be something more serious. Without approaching his male/male relationship, have a talk with your son. Just ask him how things are going. If you ask sincerely, he might be willing to talk. Take him for a long car ride. Kids tend to open up in the car, or when they're stalling at bedtime.
Whether he talks with you about his problems or not, tell him you love him and that if he ever needs you you'll be there to listen without judging him. I wouldn't tell him you searched his room, though. That would not go over well.
Good luck to you.

Try talking to him on a daily basis to find out what could be causing the problem. If you can't get through, I would try a doctor soon. Suicide is something very serious and at 15, he should understand and know thats not something to joke around about.

Kids all go through that rebellious stage of their life, however if you are really concerned as you should be, why not try talking to him? That suicide thing sounds pretty serious. Find out what is going on in his social life. Maybe whatever he is going through right now he is too embarrased or scared to tell you about.
If you and your wife cannot get through, maybe consider professional help for your son. He could be repressing something very critical and it would be wise to find out what is going on before it is too late.

since the age is 15...he's just trying to figure out who he is. there's nothing wrong, he's just trying to discover where he belongs. we've all been through it. The suicide deal is need of attention, so is the black eyeliner. The best advice is to just let him do whatever he's doing, but give support and let him know that you're there for him no matter what. He'll feel better knowing you dont mind who he wants to be but that you'll be there when he needs it

you need to talk to him might be the music he's into it can be hard to talk at that age because they can be so cut off from reality have you got a nephew or brother he might talk to, some times its hard for them to open up to a parent what ever the problem you need to get to the bottom of it could turn out its just a phase my son played Kurt Cobain for months but came out of it . you could try councillors but i would try closer to home first because if he has a small problem making a big issue about it without knowing the facts could make it spiral more good luck hope you can clear it up soon

Maybe he is into Marilyn Manson. I knew a guy that done the same thing; although he was strange he was a nice guy. Not very popular but nice. I know it is a phase they get caught up in around this age. Trying to get noticed maybe or different and it is very different. Check the music he listens to!

You need to talk to him and maybe take him to a therapist. If he is talking about suicide, he needs professional help. I'm not glad that you care more about your son than anything else. It shows you are a good father.....now go and be a better on and take him to get help!!!

thats sad. well..im pregnant with my 4th and planning on 5 more. i have 3 boys ages 1, 12, 14. i strongly suggest that u and ur wife consider having another baby. it will give him some company and it sounds like he's lonely. he will change over time he will want to protect and hold your wife throughout the perioud of her being pregnant.
