What do teenaged boys want?

from JoeUser Forums
My little brother is turning 13 at the beginning of April and I want to put together a teenaged survival kit kind of thing for him, but as I have never been a teenaged boy I don't know what they need to survive. I want to get him something really cool and grown up, as well as fun things. The only cool grown up things for him that I could think of were a swiss army knife or a zippo, but he has both already, so I need to think of something else. The only restrictions are that I don't want to get him porn, drugs or alcohol. More than anything I want him to get the message that sexuality is a great thing to explore but I also want him to learn to treat women with respect. If there's a book that does that then I'm all for it. So hit me with your suggestions!

Get him a Bible, the instruction book for life.

Now, since I know you won't take that advice, get him jogging shoes----so he can run as far and fast as he can away from the female species. :)

Speaking from experience considering that one point in my life I was a teenage boy at 13 I wanted to date a model whilst it might be difficult to pull that off you could get him some video games.

Teenage boys want hand jobs, plain and simple.   Not a practical gift though, unless you have some younger girlfriends.

Does he have a wallet?  That makes boys feel older.

Believe it or not. Money is also good.

Perhaps you people have lost touch with your inner teen.

Pizza Pockets,
That new book about gross things that's on Tederick's site
A wallet with a chain that hooks onto the pants
Video Games (Trin, I can't tell whether you're being sarcastic or not. So I'll save comments until later.)
Coupons for hot Teen spots like Movie Theatres, CD Stores, Future Shop, Groucho's, Second Cup
Eye Drops, because now he will be staying up later
An extra comfortable pillow because he will spend most of his teenhood sleeping......just like I did.

Trinitie I will not be getting my brother a bible since we are Jewish and I like him to think for himself. Plus all that reading about Jesus would confuse him. Psychx I will not be giving my brother a handjob for his birthday, and money sucks.

Phantom, let's go shopping on Saturday... those are good ideas. :o)

You could - although this would require MAJOR stones - get him a wipe rag. So that he's not killing millions and millions of trees with all the cleanup of his teen years.

"Here kid, have a hankie!"

Okay, yeah, dumb idea. :)

Hey I didn't say the handjob thing... and last time I checked money makes the world go round.

What the world needs now....is love....sweet love.

Sadly Muggaz, you'll find that the Batman utility belt is no longer available in mainstream toy stores.

I know. I've looked.

Hmmm...a teenage boy's survival kit...

TMNT?!?!

Well you better be buying the Pizza Van or the Pizza Pie Shooting Mobile!!!

Those were my favourite two. Aside from Shredder's Lair. I've still got that giant ball. I use it to keep "illegal things" in.

HaHA... Its Krangs giant dome....

I kept my illegal things in my transformers... well i used to when i was a teenager and they would fit in the various compartments... but now they dont make transformers big enough to stash my shiet... Optimus Prime's trailer was the best.

BAM!!!

My Italian friends call the Ninja Turtles the "Turtles Ninja" and I just die laughing every time they say it.

...umm...just a funny tid bit.

Krang was useless, the true enemy of the turtles was Shredder. Besides who probably paid for that dome? Shredder who has hands and can work a part-time job, or Krang the useless brain.

My car is a veritable repository of illegal stuff. Or at least that's when I say when somebody wants to open my trunk and I don't want to tell them it always gets stuck.

Shredder was nothing with out Krang and Vise Versa.

If you were an underworld Ninja lord, i think you would have a little more appreciation for Krang and the obvious benefits he supplied Shredder with. Shredder was nothing anyway... he made me sick, killing splinta's master over a chick, that is so dishonorable...

Rocksteady and Beebop were also jokes... i mean.. come on, everyone know brute force cant beat agility and cunning.

BAM!!!

I don't know. Shredder had a certain mystique to him. The mask and the claws, and the cape kind of gave him this Shaolin, "I'm Genghis Khan Mother Fucker, so watch out!" kind of look. He was an admirable foe. I mean, he was able to hold off all of the turtles on his own.
