you tried talking to a 14 yr old lately? All you hear is, it’s nothing, or no big deal, or I’m good.
That’s every 14 year old boy
No average teenage boy willingly gives information to their parents.
I was the exact same way.
If you are TRULY concerned you need to sit down with your son and be up front with him and tell him your concerns and try to ease him in to opening up.
And try to keep that relationship going as he gets older.
He needs to know he can confide in you with anything.
This is just general for any child parental issue.

Hopefully, you've always had a healthy relationship in the past. I learned, a little late, to encourage my kids when they were really young to talk as much as they wanted. And this is a lesson for young parents. Especially when they are very young, let them jabber, other than interrupting others, let them talk. I don't know how many times my wife and I fell asleep with our youngest daughter talking to us while she was jabbering at the foot of the bed. I'd wake up later and carry her to her bed. Boys are different though. Hopefully, he has close friends that you know well. Have his closest friend over for lunch and whatever. Listen for clues. If something is bothering your boy that much, its bothering his best friend also...something will be said sooner or later that will give you a clue. Its probably something that embarrassed him immensely. Or it could be nothing.
