and we all love going to the games. his teamates have been raised so different than he has. at there christmas party this past sunday one of the boys hit another boy with his fist in the nose and made it bleed, because of a name calling. the coaches broke the fight up and just said stop this boys and went on with the party. my son goes to school with only one of the ten players. i am worried about the impact this will have on my son. he has never been around rednakes like this. they are ranked second in the state we live in for there age. he has advanced so much, he loves practice and the games. being on this team has really boosted his self esteem. and he is a great player. certain boys are always doing and saying things like what happened at the party. they don't do it to my son because he has always gets along with everyone. what to do?

Wow...it really does sound like he is hanging around a bad influence. You cannot tell him not to hang around them though, because 1. theres always a way! and 2. he'll be really mad at you

Sounds like you have done a good job raising your boy! Don't worry to much about what MIGHT happen. Just keep an eye on him, talk to him when necessary (like when he asks "why do they hit each other") and just trust that you have raised him in a good way. You can only protect kids from the world "out there" so much. Then you just have to let them live life and hope you raised them well. Again, if your son has the basic tools to get along like it sounds he does, then you have little to worry about. Keep the lines of communication open, but don't go overboard worrying. Competitive sports sometimes bring out the competitive instincts in kids (and adults, for that matter!) so you just have to take the good with the bad. If the situation warrants it, then you just need to help your son draw the line between what is OK and what is not. Again, don't worry to much about stuff you can't change (the way the other boys behave, or the way they were raised). You just need to address any issue or behavior that you see affecting your son's world. Be strong, dude. Sounds like you are dong a good job. Rock on!

I think you have done a wonderful job with your son. Through your guidance your son will be able to avoid those that may be a problem. He has shown that thus far.He's obviously the product of some very good up bringing.
Q&A for your son:
What happend at the party? I had a good time.
Who go into it? Doesn't matter. I little rough housing but coach took care of it.
Who was it? Wasn't paying much attention.
Give them no where to go with foolisheness.
If he address stuff like this in this manner he will be good to go.
You boys take care.

The fact that you are concerned about this is a good thing. Many parents would think nothing of it. Since you are aware of what is going on regarding the violence between the other boys - make sure to talk to your son about it - and tell him you don't think it is acceptable. If you are religious/spiritual - you can even pray for those boys. I wouldn't pull your son from the team. There will be "bad boys" who he is exposed to his whole life. Use this as an opportunity to teach him about how important it is to be peaceful. Also - you might talk to the coaches about what you are trying to teach your son - and how appreciated it would be if they would follow through.

Is he on the same team as my girlfriend's son? Or did I dream that like the chick on "medium" on NBC?
