My Teenage Son Doesn't Have Tons Of Friends

by Anonymous
(Los Angeles, CA)

I have a 15 year old teenage son who sometimes gets sad that he doesn't have a lot of friends.

My son is a good boy and does well in school and stays out of trouble, so as a parent I am happy with what is.

I drive down our main street and see lots of teenagers dressed in black and smoking and full of tattoos and I think "Better to have a few good friends than to be accepted by the wrong type of friends".

Should I stop worrying about this, or is there something I should do about it?

Thanks for any advice you can give me on this.
