I don't have any advice on this matter specifically as i come from a very different mind set. However something i would advise that i know you would is make sure you keep an eye on the types of girls he brings home. I have had many friends who were idiots and basically did stupid things because their girl asked them to or promised things.

At 14 peer pressure and sexual favors can greatly influence a kid. I am not slighting your son, as he appears to be a very smart kid. But kids can still be pressured into situations they don't want and at that age girls can have a very strong influence.

So watch out for the kind of girls he brings home and actively take steps to talk to him about the girl if you don't like her. Your gut instinct is damn good trust it when it comes to the girls he hangs out with. If need be take a very active interest (whe talking to your son) in girls you don't like.
