Your son sounds almost exactly like my brother at that age with one exception, he would never pick a fight, but if you picked the fight, one thing is certain...you're going down.

He seems somewhat angry, you may want to deal with that before he picks a fight with someone like my brother. Not my area of expertise though.

I would however, like to defend Punk Rock Girls (reference post#5).

Scrape off the make up, remove the piercings, return the hair to a cute look and slap on a school girl outfit and you have exactly what you started with.

Someone's beautiful little angel.

I was a long haired metalhead in my teens and into my late 20's, and I'm sure my girlfriends parents called me one of "those types". But when they got to know me, they found out I am a completely normal kid with an Iron Maiden T-shirt.

Being Punk does not mean they do drugs, or steal, or are bad people in any way shape or form. Believe it or not, I'm sure some of the lovely ladies here were Punk Girls way back when, and there are currently some Goth's here, and they are great people. Sure there are exceptions, but don't pigeon hole them all.

Punk is merely a choice of music. That's it, that's all.

Not meaning to be rude, but if my DD wanted to hang out with a child who picks fights for the sake of being tough, I would say "I don't want you hanging out with those types".
