[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He's going through this phase where he thinks he's God's gift. It's obnoxious and I feel like it could get him tormented at school, likely behind his back. He posts pictures with girls from school but their body language suggests they're sort of repelled away from him.

Yesterday he made some attention seeking post on Facebook about how thankful [b]he was for everyone that has made him "so successful up to this point in my life."[/b] Honestly, it made me cringe. That's something a kid who just got into Harvard might say or a kid that just got a football scholarship to Alabama. By every metric he's average.[/quote]

I'm not seeing the problem with this post. He's thankful to others, recognizing that other people have helped him in his life, and believes himself to be successful. Sure, maybe there are others who have been successful, but people should not solely compare their accomplishments to others.

He has a healthy self-esteem and isn't doing anything to hurt people.[/quote]
