A freshman...

Jordan is officially a freshman. He has his high school ID card, as of 9am this morning. The initial school fees are paid. Woohoo! Now my worry simply turns to wanting him to have a good experience in high school. I didn't have the worst, but I surely didn't have the best of times during mine. I did meet Sean, so they weren't all bad. LOL
I think my biggest thought might be that I wonder when he will get more mature. I try to ignore the behavior, but he always seem to be the annoying kid. The one that tries to make smart cracks, funny remarks, but ends up sounding like a dork sometimes. He doesn't hear it and he doesn't see the reaction from other people. He doesn't get the mini eye-roll, the ignored comments, etc.
I mention to him (when not in the situation), about this. I try to explain. I simply don't think he has mentally matured to the point that he gets what I am saying. Maybe it simply is the one personality that drives me insane. It makes my skin crawl when I see a kid act like that. And THAT kid, is my kid. UGH!

My other two kids are the same personality. They are the center of attention, often. Meghan is VERY shy, but once comfortable in the group or with the person... it's good. She makes friends pretty easily. Jarod does also.

So, what to do when my kid is doing these things. I know he is who he is. But, shouldn't I try to mold him a little. LOL

Help!! Any advice... so my kid doesn't end up in a toilet, upside down?? LMAO

I also have two kids that are totally the same, easy going and very out going and popular. The other one is well liked but in my opinion, not very mature.
I don't have any advice. I'm hoping that time, age and being around others will help my child to mature. It may just be the personality
