I think that you have an excellent point. You HOPE that your boy has the ability to deal with it and i dont think that you would be a bad parent if they he does not. You can do your best to teach your kids but we can not just control everything by the way we raise them. At some point, they make decisions on their own. We hope that they are they things that we have taught them; nevertheless, i will speak for myself and say that i did things and have beliefs that my parents never had. I guess what i am trying to point out is that no matter how TOUGH you try to make your child they have their own personalitly.

That's true you are right, but sometimes if you instill in them what is important and what is not at an early age, they are more likely to take that into their teens. Their personality may make it hard, but they know from you have taught them at an early age that it is just simply not important what other people say about you. I guess you can never tell what they will think when they get older though can you? haha..
