adelrose Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 One of my friends lives with her partner and they have let his son move in(the son is 17) hes been living with my friend and her partner for just over a year. The thing is though not a bad lad, he doesnt go anywhere only his grand parents out of town so hes taken there by car. he doesnt have any friends,and just goes on the computer all the time except when hes forced out of his room. Now my friend has a fear of fire after losing a friend as a child in a house fire,and hates things being left on,etc when leaving the house but this lad repeatedly leaves things plugged in and switched on, inc lap top still on charge whilst left on the bed.. my friend went to his room and found this and went ballistic. he does it all the time and all he says is hes forgot. plus he wont wash or shower unless hes nagged, never washes his hands before eating and wont brush his teeth untill told off.......is this normal for a 17 years old? my friend asked me what i thought.....esp as her partner wont chastise the boy by threateninng to take lap top from him etc etc until he gets his act together. her partner just tells him repeatedly and says his son will learn eventully....what do you all think?

ANGELFIRE1 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Sounds like a typical 17 year old to me. When he "discovers" the female form his washing habits will change, as sure as eggs are eggs. Regards Angel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adelrose Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 Hes definately not depressed, he does nt go out with friends because he doesnt have any...hes lazy, and no repsect for his elders is my opinion.But then again my friend says hes not a bad lad, doesnt swear,drink or smoke,never back chats or anything like that... Another thing im told is he wont eat normal everyday food...only eats bacon, burgers, chips and spag bol that either is uncle or gran makes cos they put wine in it????? lol my friend has cooked him alsorts and hes not eaten it...so she gave up and says he eats what she makes or he goes without...tho to keep peace she does make him chips more than she wants too.. she worries about his well being because of his diet but thats got her nowhere either..

Grandad.Malky Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 He will grow out of it, leave him alone, if you walk into the average house just have a look around how many electrical things are on standby …….. the house isn’t going to burn down although its probably best not to leave the laptop on the bed.

teenyweeny Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 sounds like a typical 17 yr old to me,i have one just the same.im sure he will grow out of it..there is no quick solution to this.pressuring the lad will only make things worse.a few more years on his back and you will wonder what all the fuss was about.
