Question

My son has been obsessed with a Japanese comic since junior high school, and it contains explicit content and scenes that are extremely dirty. I hadn’t noticed this until he got into high school. He used to have good grades, but now they’ve been dropping straight down. Is there any way to help him overcome this situation?

Answer

I’m glad to assist you. Based on your description, it seems that your son is particularly fascinated by a certain Japanese comic, and the content may involve inappropriate elements. First, we need to determine if he is genuinely interested in the art of comics, as if he has a talent for drawing, perhaps considering art education could be a path to his future success. Every child has different talents and development paths, and not all children need to achieve academic success. If his behavior change is due to the inappropriate content in the comic, as a parent, you should have an in-depth conversation with him. High school students have a certain level of moral judgment. If you can clearly explain the negative impact of this content, he should be able to understand and adjust his behavior himself. It’s important to respect his choices while guiding him to make the right decisions.
