My 14 year old son pays more attention to pretty girls than to blackboard in the classroom?

NOTHING HE'S 14 AND HAS HORMONES GOING CRAZY.

JUST CONSTANTLY REMIND HIM THAT SCHOOL IS WHATS IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW AND TAKE PRIVLAGES AWAY IF HE DOES BAD IN SCHOOL.

well if you know how to cook, find a really good cupcake recipe and make a ton of cupcakes and just go around your neighbor hood selling the and telling your neighbors why you are trying to raise the money, im sure they'll respect the fact that you are raising the money on your own. Or if you are a disaster in the kitchen, then take some old books, movies cds, etc and bring them to your local half price books, you wont get to much, but it may add up if you have enough items to offer. Another thing you could do is bring your old clothes, like kids clothes, to a child's thrift store, like kid to kid or once upon a child, your clothes have to be in fairly good condition, but you can make quite a bit of money that way. I know you said, "please don't say a lemonade stand" but i am going to anyway, because i think you are stickin with a traditinal lemonade stand concept. Or you may not have the right location. First, of course find a good lemande recipe. Two, make or buy really yummy sugar cookies, trust me lemonade and sugar cookies taste really yummy! Three, get a parent or someone that can drive to bring you to a local park, or playground, where lots of little league games are played, and set up there, once again trust me people will flock to your station. However that whole thing wont't work if its too cold outside :P I'd love to tell you that there is a REAL job out there for you, but there probably isnt' im 15 and strugling to find a job that will accept me for my young age, but maybe you'll be lucky and find one! Don't give up, it probably will be difficult, but New York is SOOOO worth it!!! Have soo much fun, and again New York is amazing so that should keep you motivated enough as it is. Good Luck, hope this helped a bit. :D Have fun!

That's a good question. But surely you remember when you were 14 and the 14 year old boys would flirt with you. Perhaps you could get some insight that way as to how to handle the problem.

Meds. You're a doctor. It's legal to prescribe most psychotropics for him. He obviously needs them. Go ahead, experiment.

Tell him to look at those pretty girls and picture them 50 years from now: sagging skin and boobs, stretch- marks, yellow teeth, muffin-top butt.... all the perks of old age.

At least he doesn't have a crush on the blackboard.

You are 14 only once.

Give him some dating tips.

I don't think there is much you can do. It's nature! Honestly, the teacher should have more experience with this problem- isn't every 14 year old boy in her class paying attention to girls? Well, most of them, anyway...

Sounds like a typical 14 year old boy to me...just talk to him

He's a 14 year old boy, what do you expect him to do, jump up and do a jig cause he wants to learn, be happy that he's just a normal boy and deal with it.

Nothing. If you were to comment on it, you may embarass him. I used to be mortified if my parents thought I liked a boy. He's probably just the same as all the other boys in the class. They are, after all, starting on that Godawful journey known as puberty.

If his grades start to suffer then ask him if he's having problems at school. He'll know then he needs to pull his socks up, but won't know you know why.
