My son his 15 years old now and had a always been quiet and don’t go out with his mates and that but normally a happy young man but his not been his self now for a few weeks and not talking to anyone and yes he knows when his ready to talk big or small I am there ready and waiting XXX but he has been weeks now where he would sit in his room he come down and stand there watching us all (cook or clean or chatting what ever we are doing at the time when he comes down) he don’t say a word if I take to him he just move his head to answer me and then he be gone again XXX he literally in his room from minute he wakes until he going bed his not doing anything just sitting on his bed and when gets dark he won’t be turn light on he sit in dark only thing he does is get dress and do his hair and sit there I don’t know how to get him out off it and get him to talk don’t want to push him and make it worse and I know he won’t go to doctor but I think he needs something
Maybe something is going on at school he could be getting bullied everyday he can be insecure about the way he looks and just depressed . There’s so many things but it seems like he’s closing himself off just try to be there for him without forcing anything …
He needs help NOW! do not wait
Don’t push or worry too much he’s 15 things get hard he’s trying to figure out who he is maybe just a little more time he’ll come around sometimes that’s all that’s needed is time patients and understanding
Please get him help soon this is such a crucial age. A lot of things happening during this time of life. I would hate to find out later god forbid something happens that he was depressed
Praying for your son and you
Prayers for you and your son. I hope he is able to find his strength and words to talk to you.
My heart hurts for you both.
He needs to see someone… Even tele health so it can be in the comfort of his home…
Hoping he gets some professional help…
Try just sitting with him in his room not talking not pushing but just sitting there with him. Allow him to know you are there and waiting for him sometimes all we need is that presence to know you are there. I was him at one point ready to tale my own life I loved my family but was done with trying to live… my mom did this (I’ve always been one to bottle things up still do unfortunately its hard for me to open up and talk to people even the closest person to me my mom now I wish I would have before she passed) but when she came in my room and told me she loved me and that she just wanted to sit with me for awhile that night I broke down and let it all out for the first time I truly opened up to her (anyone for that matter) I started crying extremely hard and told her everything all my thoughts and pains and let it all off my chest! It was the BIGGEST RELIEF I HAD EVER HAD! and it felt amazing to finally let it all go… sometimes you can’t find the words… or your scared they won’t know how to react because it isn’t anything they did but you know they will blame themselves so you shut them out… but like I said just tell him you want to sit with him for awhile even if there is no talking you just being there will make a difference I promise 
praying for yall both please please keep us updated!
Just hold him and tell him you’re there for him.
Your son may be battling depression. My daughter started at 14 right before she turned 15, around the time when Covid hit and schools shut down. It got serious when she began to self harm. Please seek immediate help. She was doing the same things as you describe. Contact your insurance, Google adolescent therapy services/programs. Anything! but get him help immediately. My daughter is doing much better and is also being seen by a psychologist and on a very low medication plus vitamin supplements. Things have turn around now this year and she is much more active, smiling again, happy and out of her room finally. She is still seeing a therapist to help her cope with some anxieties but is on the right path to recovery. Mental health is serious and needs to be treated immediately. Also, check their phone for any warning signs or social media platforms feeding them misinformation. They are at an age that is so impresionable and can be brained washed by social media influencers. Best of luck to you and your son.
Contact his teachers to see how he has been in class
He is hitting puberty. That might have something to do with it. Otherwise idk.
Be super up front with him and tell him it’s not helping his situation and that maybe a part time job would help him socialise more without the additional expectations added

Maybe something happened to him and hes afriad to tell you? ( i hope nothing happened to him ) but hug him and tell him you always loves him unconditional and always will there for him for anything he needs and always going help anything that he need because you want to see him happy safe and because you loves him.
Praying for your son to finds his strength and comes talk to you. 
Ask him. Could drugs be a factor? Depression ?
He sounds like he may be depressed. I would speak with a professional and find someone for him to talk to. Times are very hard on our teenagers right now. Social media f do identify help. Keep talking to him and check on him a lot until you get some help. Big hugs to you. 
Something serious is bothering him. Don’t just ignore this.
If he’s distant at home he’s probably become distant in school as well…something happened he’s not ready to talk about. Give him his space but don’t let it go. You have to stay on top of the behavior so he can finally confide in you or put someone around him you know he will talk to. You need to know what’s bugging him. Because uh-oh will be too late.
Definitely talk to teachers. Maybe it could be a bullying issue.
Take him to the doctors sounds like it could be his been bullied. Hope hes feeling better soon. Love and best wishes xxx
Aw bless him xxxx try asking if he wants to go cinema? Tell him he can watch what he wants? Small things xx a gentle hug when he’s popping down to the kitchen even if it is just to sit in silence xx what was his favourite dessert as a kid? Maybe buy some and take it up to him or tell him if he comes down he can have it! Lol
Lately this mercury retrograde is messing with a lot of people. I have been wanting to be alone lately and away from all humans. Try and keep an eye on him incase its something more serious but also just let him breathe for a few weeks and see how hes doing
You could set up counceling at school, it could be a faE, could be depressions. Could be drugs,.could be mental health.
I wouldn’t just ignore it tho.
Talk to him…sometimes we think we need space. But we need the opposite
If he’s coming down and watching you he might be waiting for somebody to reach out to him
Drugs …depression autism… Aspergers… my brother was disgonosed on the autism spec at 40! He does the same thing sits on the bed in the dark and talks minimally to us and it has gotten worse over the years
Oh wow you’ve discovered a teenager 
Sounds like a mental issue. Talk to him. Let him know u are worried about him to the point u would like him to see a counselor. That he is deeply loved and if he is struggling with anything u want him to get the help he needs. The coming down and just staring at u all might be a sign of him taking it all in before harming himself. So please speak to him and hopefully he will allow u to help him.
Try asking him questions that require something other than a yes or no head shake when he comes to the kitchen. Try reminiscing with him over something you know makes him happy. See if he will express himself, even if he is expressing past emotional feelings- that is a start.
Also try simply telling him you’ve noticed a change, and that you are there for him no matter what without judgment.Also, let him know that needing or wanting help with emotions isn’t something to be afraid or ashamed of. Depending on how he reacts to the above things- consider getting him some help. Good luck.
He is probably developing some depression. Seek professional help for ur son.
Sounds daft, but get the family together on an evening, get a board game out and go over the top with junk food etc. Together just forget about the world and enjoy time together. All tech off and away so it’s just you him and whoever else is in the family. He might not ‘want’ to but it might be what he ‘needs’

My son is only 7 but I feel like I would go and snuggle in his bed with him still. 
I have 2 boys aged 17 and 16. I found the best thing to do when they are in that head space is to just go and sit with them whilst they are doing whatever it may be they are doing and just try to break the ice with general chit chat, sometimes say nothing, just be there and he will open up babe… sometimes us as parents have to be persistent because ours kids nowdays are very good at coming across or saying they are alright, when really sometimes they need to know they are never alone. no problem or issue is too big or small… sending love hun. take care
Please reach out f0r help from dr therapist something! I lost my big brother to suicide laat year and it all began 6 months prior he started becoming distant. Please do what i couldnt! Your babys life depends on you!
Just gO sit with him too.
Try to put yur self in his world and see how he acts and or what he may say or feel.
I go in my
Son room often.
He basically a gamer and that’s his twist.
this is a problem to be dealt with by a professional.
Yes take him for 48 hr / 72hr observations hold at psych hospital
…that is too extreme even for puberty
I’m sure someone will have something negative to say about my post but whatever. Those of u poking fun of this situation truly suck. This mother is seriously concerned about her son & I’m sorry but now days u can’t b too distant in these situations as thats when things happen that no one should ever have to experience. Her son is obviously struggling with something & probably trying to find a way to get it out & when he does come around he loses his nerve or courage to do it. All I can say is don’t ignore these signs. Take action.
