[quote=Anonymous]My friend has a 15 year old son who truly believes that he is going to be drafted by the NBA. He is a mediocre basketball player at best and he isn't a kid who is always dribbling a ball and shooting hoops. I see him several times per month and I've never seen him with a basketball. He is so convinced about this he has gotten into fights with his friends who all think he is crazy. Some of them have really distanced themselves from him because it isn't an occasional comment. He isn't joking about this, he really believes it. He isn't a delusional person (besides this!) so we aren't talking about a psychotic disorder. My friend is wondering whether she should discourage him from this thinking, right now she is supportive when her son asks her what she thinks. She doesn't feel it's her job to burst his bubble but she is concerned about his difficulty with his friends. Wwyd?[/quote]
