Move away and don't tell them where you went

If there was a way for them to chain up his pee pee until he was at least 18 years old, I'd tell them to do that. My advice would be for him to not even try to take it off. No bulls**t.

Lock his a$$ up in a room until he is 18, homeschool him and then send him to the Airforce. OK... So you can't do that. Every single child is different. I have 3 sons from 13 to 17, and they all need different treatment. In general, you have to build trust with them, and you have to give them a little bit of slack on the leash (but never take the leash off). Give them responsibilities at home (chores) and also reward them for those chores. Respect their privacy, because they get all kinds of hormonal, and aren't really equipped to know how to deal with it. (Which is probably why most of us fellas have punched a wall or two in our day)... There really isn't a magic answer. Just pay attention to them... Know what they are doing, and expect them to be in when you tell them. It usually falls into place from there.

My parents treat me like a person, not like a "stupid teenager" and I respect that. My advice: Treat your son like the person that he is. Give him credit for growing up and don't baby him. I do realize that he's not an adult yet, but I don't believe that we teenagers (whether we are male or female) should be babied and treated like we're stupid.

never forget that you once was a teenager too and practice the patience of job

"It'll take about ten years, but eventually your son will stop thinking that you're the stupidest people on the planet -- hang in there!"

Make sure you tell him "don't be silly, wrap you're willy"
