[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS is 8th grade, plays a team sport in State level, and has very good academic at school. He takes care his school study well and works hard in his travel team practice/games. 
He is our only child, is quiet at home most of the time, not much talk with us, behavior normal. This week he suddenly told mom that he is a gay, he said he feel more comfortable to stay with girls, but does not like girls at all. His school friends know this and some girl even introduced a boyfriend to him. He said he has no body touch with other boys yet.

We are a bit shocked for this, we are going to have a more in-depth conversation see how serious he is. And should we take him to see a doctor/counselor to assess him? or just treat this as adolescent rebellion and this minds may go away when he in HS/College?[/quote]

Maybe, maybe not. I don't understand some of your impulses and language choices, though. "Body touch?" And a doctor?!? He's not sick.

The proper thing to do here is to humor him. He may be gay. He may be trying on an identity, who knows. Most likely he's gay and he might benefit from therapy to help figure himself out, but a counselor isn't a tool to "assess" him -- a counselor can't tell you whether he's gay or not. So if that's the approach you're taking with a "counselor," then that will likely have a bad outcome.

Play it out. If he's gay, so what?
