Hi, I'm here to help you with any advice you need because I think it's important to help other and you don't need a reason to. I want to make the world a better society and this is one small step to getting closer to a better world: Inbox me if you have a person question. Other than that, I promise I'll do the best to answer your questions from what I know to experience. I'm really open about my life and I have some traumatic situations I've been In. I'm probably younger than you think. I think lifes full of coincidences but it's superstitious to assign meaning to every one. TIP: sometimes all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage and I promise you something good will come out of it. (: Now...smile.

I'm a single mom of three. Two girls (19,9) one boy 18 today. He won't spend time with me. He stays in his room or hangs out with friends. today is his birthday and he doesn't want to go out to dinner with us. wouldn't travel with us for thangsgiving either. Really worried. He gets good grades and is going to a great university in the fall. He also works. But I fear he's depressed, he doesn't like me or worse...Unfortuneately, Dad isn't a very positive influence. What to do? I love my son. I need to connect but don't know how. (link)

This can be very difficult for all parents when their kid is a teen. Think back to when you were 18. What did you do with your family? What stuff did you enjoy? At this age teenagers tend to go through mood swings and they want to be alone. Your son being in his room all the time or hanging out with friends is being a teenager. I suggest you back off a little but also spend time with him. Even playing cards or a game or watching a movie or starting a conversation is bonding with him. If you be nice and not to needy he'll want to spend time with you. Suggest going to the movies or going out to dinner and he can take 1 friend then you get to bond with him at home. Look at a list of what teenagers like to do on google.
Me as a teenager myslef (13) likes to go to the movies, hang with friends, be in my room a lot, go on the computer, text andsame with my older sister. So find stuff your teen enjoys.
Hope I helped and good luck! happy birthday to your son!
