What would you think if you saw:

[MrsSnape]

If your 10 year old son had turned his signature to:

When you feel the worst, you feel washed up like piss gone down the drain!

What would you think/do?

turned it to what?

I'm not getting it. In what context has he used this, where is this signature, as his status on Facebook??

isn't that a song lyric?

oh i geddit now - thought you meant signature as in signing name.

I would ask him about it as a starting point.

It is Nice Guys Finish Last by Greenday

Nice guys finish last.
You're running out of gas.
Your sympathy will get you left behind.
Sometimes you're at your best, when you look the worst.
Do you feel washed up, like piss going down the drain

Pressure cooker pick my brain and tell me I'm insane.
I'm so fucking happy I could cry.
Every joke can have its truth and now the joke's on you.
I never knew you were such a funny guy.

Oh nice guys finish last, when you are the outcast.
Don't pat yourself on the back, you might break your spine.

Living on command.
You're shaking lots of hands.
Kissing up and bleeding all your trust, taking what you need.
Bit the hand that feeds.
You kill your memory

I often have lyrics for my facebook thing etc - just the song I am on at the time.

Do you think he has just copied it without understanding it? or do you think he's actually experiencing these feelings? if the latter, I'd try to talk to him about it. If the former I'd just have a word and say, that's a grown up kind of message thing to be broadcasting to the world, it's not appropriate for a boy of your age.

It doesn't have to be sinister. It could just be that he did the right thing at school, someone else did the wrong thing but gained more from it.

Or he just likes the song.

Ah that makes sense, his last one was:

pressure cooker pick my brain and tell me I'm insane

so it looks like he's just going through the song lyrics.

Phew! panic over....

Love that this was so easily resolved. Am relieved for you

I love that song! Glad it's sorted

I had the MSN name (after my xbf broke up with me) of "You have to learn how to fall, before you learn how to fly". I've got a new one now, but I think I'll have another song lyric soon.
