Hey teens I need your help.

[TSM1993]

I know something is bugging my 15 year old son and I cant get him to tell me what it is. How do I get him to talk to me about it?

Dont pressure him into it. That will only make him not want to talk about it even more. Just tell him that you are there for him if he wants to talk.

maybe, just give him space.
but try to make sure he isn't like, depressed or anything.
bad things could happen..

is he doing things he doesn't normally do?

 

[life of the party]

leave him alone for a little.
a little space is all I want when im upset, cause i want to think everything over to myself before i discuss it with anyone else.

is he usualy open with you, though?

I wouldn't press it too much.
If you keep asking to much he'll never want to tell you and will just shut you out.

Just make sure he knows you're there and that you're open to talk whenever he needs it.
Also just talking in general might bring it out.
Instead of going right out and asking what is wrong, ask him how his day went and make small talk.
He may just get the urge to ask advice or tell you what is going on if he knows you really care.
