Is it bad for a 15-year-old boy to play neopets?

Question

My son plays and plays, and I'm afraid he is g*y or something. He says that some of his friends play, but i don't believe him. other than that, he acts like it is an embarrassing secret, what should i do, if anything?

I mean, isn't it a baby site?

Answer 1

haha, i stopped playing that when i was 13, and i'm barely turning 15! ;P

it doesn't mean he's g*y or anything, maybe other games may be a challenge for him... neopets are for 10yrolds, and it's fairly easy.

maybe he likes easy games...

Answer 2

You should go check it out. People of all ages play it. I played  it for a long time and I was 25 at the time. Young and old people play it... It is fun. Men much older than him play and all types of people play, you are tripping. Just check it out. It basically is a game site where you earn points/neodollars (if memory serves me correctly) to care for your neo pet.

Answer 3

Neopets is a pretty lame site, but can be addicting. Close his account.

Answer 4

i think it's kinda a kewl website.  they're virtual online pets.  I still play it sometimes, and I'm 28.  Just let him play.  Don't close his account, that would just be unnecessarily mean.

Answer 5

ok i used to play neopets when i was like 16!!!

You shouldnt worry at all.

Its great fun when you are bored and very addictive!!

Plus, some kids mature slower than others.

i know because i also had a problem with this and was embarrased when i watched kiddy programs and thing like that.

But i shouldnt worry he will grow out of it when he's ready.

I hope this eased your mind a little = ]

take care xx

Answer 6

it kind of is. but i mean sometimes its fun to have a virtual pet or something even if you do have a real pet or don't .

Answer 7

awww, that sounds like something my husband would have done at that age--not that he didn't play more challenging games but he was kind of immature from what I hear.  Some people just mature at different times.

Answer 8

i doubt that ur son is g*y, but its okay for him to play it
