Make sure he works out. Buy some 15 pound pairs of dumbells. The sooner he takes advantage of his new found testosterone, the better. Also go hunting with him.
Also, look at what type of clothes he thinks are cool. Do a little conservative judging. Tight pants are NOT acceptable. Maybe a few surf shirts, some nice jeans that are dark and dont have cargo pockets in them.
Also, go to ROSS. I know it sounds retarded, but I get my "cool" clothes at ROSS for half the price (or maybe even less) than at Macy's, Utilities, etc.
As for the hair streaking, just give him a buzz. A nice short cut, nice well groomed buzz. Chicks dont like shaggy people unless they have some redeeming quality or whatever have you. Also, don't have an old fart, "I cant trust him" attitude. Its the most pissing thing in the world. Instead of blocking myspace on your router, tell him if you catch him on myspace, you will deny him internet access on his/your computer unless he is present at all times.
Because the worst thing is a parent not trusting, and doing things behind their child's back. It hurts. I know.

Why do you have to block access to his myspace, etc? He's 13, let him learn on his own. Just tell him to exercize caution and judgement (ie: by not putting his address/town on his page) on the page. Don't put him on a leash and restrain him, though. That only makes matters more complicated becuase he wont' trust you (leading to emo, slitting of wrists, or whatever).

wtf are you talking about? no one wears trashy loose-fitting clothes... unless they're trailer trash or something.

Open your eyes and take a look around. There are plenty of guys walking around with XXL jeans that reveal their asscrack, shirts that could easily fit two people, bling bling chain hanging low. "Street" clothes, for the lack of a better word. I dont have a problem with this, but make sure he's not going overboard with this stuff.
