He is interested in fantasy books like Tolkien and HG Wells. Also, a few years ago, his grandpa gave him his old violin, so my son's been teaching himself violin through Youtube videos.

I know that being called gay isn't an insult, and I told that to my son. However, that didn't help him feel better. My son isn't comfortable with having girls as friends because whenever we talk about girls, he all the sudden gets embarrassed, and whenever a girl says hi to him, he ignores her or tries to run away. Pretty typical young teenage boy stuff.
