Same for me. No one likes me.

Or, he just may not have any interest at all in girls/sex. Doesn't make him a closeted homosexual.
This. Mutual interest can be hard to come by.

teenagers have alot of pressure, and learning to become adults. I think it is common for teens to not have a sexual relationship. no one is giving them the proper training on how to date, and maintain a relationship, and court and make their moves. Most that is taught is, "insert a into b, if it splashes inside, a baby will come".

Parents should teach their teens, what is love, how to approach, about having pride and confidence. All those teens talking smack, false news, joking or ridiculing each other with names like ho and little dicky. it is humiliating. What pressure. And what is seen in the movies, on TV , in the music, life is NOT really this way. Teens do not realize that. try to remember the dynamics of being a teen? teens actually think that only the jocks, hot chicks , and cool kids are the only ones that get sexual relations.

This confusion, and mind F' that is being a teen is what leads to un planned teen pregnancy, teens dating older men, rape, drug use, sexually abusive harassment, suicide, threesomes. Why cant we as parents, just be real open with our kids, and show them through the love you share with your spouses, and how that life is about having fun and practicing relationships by dating, and not being embarrassed, coerced or manipulated into doing what you dont feel comfortable doing.

Some teens are just socially awkward, with this new Adult body forming under their clothing, and this new way of living life.
