My son has been dressing.....what do dem kids call it...(emo)?

I just hope that you are not an outstanding represititive of the Carolina School system! If you are, it's no wonder that the NEA is in deep dog doodo! Kids are going to be kids, they will either grow out of it, or they won't! All you can do as a parent, is to give them love, support, and guidence, and try to steer them away from the same pitfalls that you encountered as a young pimpled-face skull full of mush!
