Tell him that it could be a phase, but maybe not. Ask him if he could see himself being in a relationship with a guy and whatnot.

Just talk to him about it, ask him questions, kind of like he's talking it out in his own mind, except you're allowing him to think about it outloud.

No life ain't always beautiful,
tears will fall sometimes.
Life ain't always beautiful,
but it's a beautiful ride.

It's completely normal to go through a phase and like this, and it's completely normal not to.

You've just got to reassure him you're going to be there for him and support him no matter what. That his sexual orientation does not matter.

He needs to know there is nothing wrong with this =] PM me if you want to talk further.

From a distance you look like my friend,

even though we are at war.

It could either be a phase, or be his life's way.

I would suggest that you tell him the topic is between you and him and suggest that he be patient in sorting out his sexuality. During the period of 13-18 hormones are up and down and what he may be experiencing may go away.  Key word is MAY!  If it doesn't it's no problem.

Confusions is normal, and it takes guts to say it. Make sure he knwos you accept him and won't tell anyone if he dosn't want you to.

Telling a sad person to be happy; is like asking a deaf guy to listen.
