I'm a little late to this discussion, but I have one more suggestion for boys over the age of 13. Get them around girls who find boys who are artistic and literary attractive. I know, anyone who watches glee thinks that jocks and cheerleaders run the high schools, and I know that my experience (a small private high school in san francisco) probably isn't representative... but still, if you can find an environment like this for your kid, go for it. He'll look back with mild embarrassment at how oh-so-suave he felt hanging out in north beach cafes reading beat lit, but hey, at least he's reading, right? (ok, fine, that was me).
