[quote=Anonymous]Agree with PPs - dumb and dangerous, but his intentions were good. I'd like to know if he was truly standing up for his friends because he thought the guy was wrong, or if he was trying to impress one of the girls. This is a teachable moment. Many 16yos think they are invincible and that adults worry too much about stupid things, but I think you need to be explicit with him about how this situation could have turned out and how this particular situation isn't worth the risk. He has to know when to walk away, even if that means the other guy "wins." He has to assume that he has a lot more to lose in a situation like that than the other person does. You should also discuss with him other ways of handling the situation. Couldn't they just move away from the guy? Maybe exit and hop back on the train in a different car? Confrontation should be the last option in this situation - and maybe most situations. [/quote]
