I don't want him to be this way. He has girls calling constantly and one of the last girlfriends he had he treated pretty bad when he dumped her. Any suggestions on how to teach him to be more considerate of the opposite sexes feelings?

Just to give you a little background; his Dad is not in his life much and when I was married to him, was very inconsiderate to women, plus he's an alcholic, but wants everyone to think he's a god.

Leave him alone, let him learn his own lessons. The day will come when he will WANT a girl so badly it will hurt and she will kick him to the curb...it's called KARMA and it WILL come around.

as a recently turned 20 year old male at USC, I'll try and give you my perspective on the issue. First off, you should really try and correct this before college. There are so many jerks in college who treat women like trash and get away with it all the time. If you feel his current behavior is a problem, then I assume you've raised him to respect women etc...If he has a sister (especially a younger sister) tell him to treat girls the way he wants other guys to treat his sister when she grows up. Or ask him how he would feel if someone had treated you the way that hes treating girls now when you were in high school. Its very easy for that age to get caught up in their own lives and themselves. Senior year of high school is a really surreal, selfish time and he probably just needs a reality check. Give him those scenarios to think about and he'll probably take a step back, look at the big picture and change his behavior accordingly.

My suggestion would be to treat him the way he treats his girlfriends. Let him know how it feels from the girls' point of view. There's really no way to teach him how to be more considarate towards women, he has to experience it for himself. The best you can do is lecture him on it and hope he does the right thing. Just remember, what goes around, comes around and one these days he's going to be treated the way he treated his girlfriends and he's not going to know why. Thats just the way life works. Good luck!

Talk to him about it. You can't control his behavior but you can try to help him see that what he's doing is wrong. Hopefully good values and how to treat others appropriately were also impressed upon him as a child, and he's just forgotten.
What goes around, comes around though...if you can't persuade him to be a man and not a jerk, karma will eventually catch up to him.

All you can do is warn him that his cavalier attitude will soon catch up with him. And if he doesn't listen then he doesn't listen. Eventually he'll learn the hard way. And for some people, that's the only way they'll figure out that they've made a mistake.

Begin by treating him teh way he treats them.
Also, try to get him involved with some volunteer work--volunteering can be very humbleing. Below is a link to many organizations in your area dna Im sure you will be able to find one that is suitable.

tell him he wouldn't want any man to treat you like that! and maybe he'll change or let him grow up and see for sure that what you do comes back to you(meaning back to him)
