Sounds like the lad may be feeling as if everyone else is getting attention and he isn’t. 

Always tricky at they age as you want to be the centre of attention too. 

Can also be frustrating to not have his concerns validated but told he’s wrong.

Teenage boys also love to be contrarian and edgy.

Doesn’t sound too out of place from many of the lads I grew up with including gay ones who weren’t ever a fan of people who were overly flamboyant.

This is absolutely spot on.
