MAJOR turnoff im sure. just cuz it's not as common in guys as it is in girls, it happens. to the OP: talk to a counselor, be open for your friend (listen and don't judge him) -- Posted by xoxdisturbedxox at 2:08 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 he hasnt got enuf money 4 a gp or theqapist -- Posted by roryboy at 2:10 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 My mum is a psychologist and sees boys like that , it happens and it is work for the pros. On the other hand I cannot concentrate and in my case it cause by puberty, how old is he? -- Posted by chelseaernest at 2:10 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 There is no easy was out of this. There's not just a food he can take, life isn't that easy. He needs to get 8 hours of sleep, every night. He needs to eat enough food, and fully nutritious food. But most importantly, he needs to put in effort in focusing and doing work. -- Posted by Kristin Caldwell at 2:10 pm on Dec. 2, 2008     -- Posted by monkeydoodle77 at 2:12 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 Your best bet is to get him to eat. If he doesn't want to, explain why he should. Its unhealthy to not eat and can actually do more harm than "good". Being skinny isn't what matters. Its being healthy and in good shape. But get him to eat healthy foods such as lots of salad and things with peanut butter. Then help him study for all his exams. -- Posted by xoxdisturbedxox at 2:13 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 he's 16 going on 17 -- Posted by rozenmaiden101 at 2:18 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 Peanut butter. Seriously. -- Posted by hersheyparker at 2:21 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 There are teen help locations that offer free therapy. See the school counselor at least. -- Posted by xxslipknotwhorexx at 6:09 am on Dec. 25, 2008 ...
