[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did he not see her at all this summer? I guess I just don't understand why it's a problem now that school started up again unless he's really sensitive to peer pressure.

I have become less attracted to boyfriends when their appearances changed. But not hugely so. And my emotions for them were still strong because of personality and time together. In other words, I liked them more as a person than for any particular outward appearance.

If looks are such a big issue to him, then maybe he doesn't really care for her that much? I mean, does he seem stupid-in-love with her? Or is it just some casual kind of thing?

And following the crowd in anything is a bad idea. He needs to learn to be true to himself. Maybe that means staying with her. Maybe that means breaking up.

I'd discuss those types of character issues with him. His character development matters most here, IMO. Let him make the final choice though, with all the consequences that go along with that. Good and bad.
