Ok so let's say you have a son, and one day you stop by the Jr. highscool and you notice that he is hanging around with 1 friend who looks like an nerd. You also are aware that he is a member of the chess club. Would you confront your son about his choice of friends? Would you angrily demand that he make an effort to penetrate the popular circles?

If you're cool, your kid will turn out cool. Work on yourself.
 
I'd certainly try and guide my kid into a variety of sports and whatnot, but I wouldn't force them to continue if they're clearly not into it. You have to let them figure out what they like on their own, and if chess brings them enjoyment then so be it.
 
I would let him be. He would be following in dad's footsteps
 
More important I don't have a son who grow up to be a loser or daughter a slut.

If he likes chess or hangout with nerds I am fine with it as long as he doesn't get picked on in school.
 
I'd rather my son be good than cool.
 
Hells yeah is this even a real question bro?!?

My son's only seven and he's already got three tattoos, a custom gold grille, corn rows, and swag.(are young people still saying swag?)......He's almost as cool as his old man.

He's like a lil light skinned combo of biebs,JT,stitches,lil bow wow, and malibu's most wanted all in one curt package.

If I knew how to post pics I would.
 
I have three boys, and I they are as cool as me. Not very. Still, I don't necessarily care if they are, since I don't care if I am. It's a vicious cycle.

As long as he knows how to scrap, who gives a rat's behind!

If he's hanging out with a nerd, chances are his grades will be higher.
 
Cool...no I don't care.

Is he happy? That's important. Part of being happy is to be well enough equipped to have a healthy social life. I don't care if he has nerd friends, but I'd be concerned if he had no friends.
 
I hope he will be because it will boost his confidence

Still i will like him to not be an asshole and be the type of person that can stay with various kind of peoples
 
If you need to live vicariously through your son's highschool career -- or gauge your success as a father based upon his popularity -- you have bigger problems to contend with than him being "cool."
 
I don't have a boy, I have two daughters. What is important to me is that they control their own destinies.
 
'Cool'? The cool girls in high school end up working at the GAP. I'd rather my daughters were really good at math and work as quants on Wall street.
