A. My 15-year-old son in 9th grade quit martial arts and now hangs around talking on the phone and using the com¬puter. He loved martial arts - had been at it since he was 3. When I asked him why, he said "It takes up too much of my life". The point here is that he wants to hang around and use computer and do nothing else. This is isolating, bad for his eyes and body, makes him miss out on the possibilities to de-velop personality and makes him a boring, sheltered person. It gets to the point where he does not want to answer when I am talking to him. I suggest many different activities and look through magazines to find more, but he shoots down ev¬ery one. I am hoping someone out there has a suggestion; may¬be you went through something like this and found a solution.
