[quote=Anonymous]I want my son to be the kind of person who doesn't care how cool he is but rather how kind and respected he is. To choose his friends wisely and hang out with people who support him and stay out of trouble. And to reach out to others who just need a friend, even if you don't know them.

Now that he is a teenager, use social media/technology wisely. I don't care if he plays video games and spends time texting on the phone but be smart about it.

Chivalry is not dead and it's important to me that my son respects women, whether he is interested in them romantically or not. Stand up for your female friends and be the one that they feel they can trust when they need someone to help them. I want my son to be the guy that the girls' parents are relived will be out with them because they know he will make good decisions.

Be a good husband/partner and father, if he choses to have kids. I am lucky to have really positive role models in my son's life from my husband to my father/FIL, his uncles, coaches, the dads of his friends.

And stay away from fights. Go get a teacher or just walk away if you have to but don't get involved unless you can help end it. And never, ever record a fight. That will result in getting your phone taken away immediately. [/quote]
