This describes cool. A cool guy stands up for the underdog and is never a bully. A cool guy is nice to those that deserve it and indifferent to those that don't. He gives not a single shite about who they are, what they wear, or anything else other than their individual merits.

A cool person doesn't sweat trivial bullshite and is his own man. Sounds to me like your kid is cool. Maybe not popular, but cool.

The OP asked how you get cool. He said his child shows no concern when other kids approach/talk.

Maybe I took it wrong, sounded like his kid was being an arse. I didnt even read it as he could just be shy. That is my bad if true.

I dont get how people in this thread are calling this kid a "brat" and what not.

I just misunderstood.

And zero, so I guess my opinion is not valid.

true fact: if you don't have any friends in high school start smoking weed. if you're in college, you'll have to sell it.

Seriously, thanks for the insight. I never realized he may be shy. Truthfully I think that is a big part of his public persona that I have been missing, because I am not shy at all.

Why don't you ask your 12 year old?

I may not know much, but I damn sure don't want my kid to know that.

You only know how he is around kids when you are around right? He may be different when you aren't there.

look man, talk to your kid, A LOT, ask him 1000 questions, he may only answer 5 of them but at least he will know you care.....he will know that when he really wants you to know something you will listen.

Try to know everything that's going on in his life without him actually knowing that you know.

He wants to be cool

He ignores other kids. He shows no care or concern for other kids.

He makes no attempt to be nice to other kids

I can't remember what all he said. But sounds like an a-hole to me

I want my son to be nothing like that and he's not
