Adolescence is often difficult. I remember how hard it was for me to express my fears, insecurities, reasons for stress...I always had a notebook and pencil at hand, luckily. Your boy has voiced his concerns. You guys have done a great job being parents and friends too.
The journey will be fun, difficulties will not be absent, of course, but they make us grow. He just has to look at it from that angle in order to enjoy it to the fullest.
Yes, those years that bridge the childhood and the adulthood are not easy, there are many questions and changes. If one can talk with his/her parents, it's good, but many times adolescents will find it difficult and feel a bit embarrassed. It's important they feel they can trust and open up themselves to the right people. Thank you for your words, un abrazo! :))
