It's more than just attention-seeking... my teenage son strips to his briefs in public!

A female , anonymous writes:

My son is 15 years old and has a problem. I found out about it at school a week ago when I received a phone call off the principal saying that my son keeps stripping to his briefs all the time in school no matter where he is.

He did it in PE and the lesson had to be cancelled because of the attention he drew from stripping down to his underwear. Then he embarrassed the school on a field trip to a museum by doing the same thing.

He does it no matter where he is, says the school, and we have been invited to discuss the matter further next week.

Initially I thought it was just a bit of attention-seeking, but it seems much more serious than that.

My son even stripped to his briefs on sports day and then ran round the athletics track thinking it was funny.

My son is now talking about a career where he can just be in his underwear all the time.

Anyone know what problem my son has, and how we can help him??

Advice would be appreciated.

Many thanks

I dont think this is a problem, your son could marely just be expressing his feelings in a physical way, take him out of this school if they fuss about this any longer, hes 15 this is just a fase, please dont worry this will pass
