I (19M) recently met a younger dude (17M) and we’re become pretty good friends. He mentioned he’s had a rough upbringing and said he appreciates having someone a little older around who can give advice and push him to do better. He said he’s looking for more of an “older brother” type dynamic, someone who can encourage him, keep him accountable, and just be a positive, constant influence. I think he’s a great kid with a lot of potential, and I want to be supportive without overstepping or acting like I know everything. For people who have mentored younger guys before (through sports, gym, etc.), what are some things that actually help? What kinds of conversations, habits, or boundaries are useful? Any advice would be appreciated. submitted by /u/Lil_Wrapp12
