Need some lounge advice on Teenagers.......


So, Ive got a teenager that has anxiousness over flying. When he was little we used to just drag him along, and he was young so it was easy to do. Now he is a teenager, and is becoming more adamant about his opinions on things, because he is a teenager. We are a family that spends our spending money on travel, so him being adamant about not wanting to fly is a real problem.

We have to get on a plane tomorrow to London to meet family, and he is saying he doesn't want to go; I honestly thought he would get past it and get over it, but Im really worried that we may have to drag him kicking and screaming on to the plane; that of course that is less than Ideal. So we are trying to give him the parent lecture.

And hookers and blow are not options.
