Question

Dear Abby,

I’m a helpless mother. My son is 15 years old. I find out that the older he grows, the less we talk. I feel very worried and I really need help.

My first problem is about his hobbies. He seems to spend too much time on computer games. As soon as he gets home, he always turns on the computer games. As soon as he turns on the computer, he always shuts the door and locks others out. I’m getting worried about him, especially when his English teacher told me he always failed in the English exam.

Secondly, it seems that he is crazy about the new technology (技术). However, in fact, I don’t have enough money and I can’t afford all the things he wants.

These days, I’ve found that he seems to be always alone. I seldom see him talk to his friends on the phone or going out with anyone on weekends. That is the last problem I have.

Do all the boys behave (表现) this way? What should I do to help him?

Sincerely,

Mrs. Green
