my son (14) spends most of his free time on his xbox. I'm wondering is it really all that bad? His dad and one of my friends are always moaning at me to make him go out.
He does on occasion choose to go out but I do not force him
we live in a deprived area and there are drugs readily available (my neighbor for one) and the friend who insists i send him out - her son is 15 been excluded from school twice and has a criminal record for assault (attacking a teacher)
I do check his on line activity etc and he socialises with friends on line - when one of them has enough money for a new game they do arrange to meet up and go to town
