I think Bryant makes a good point from my experience.  I played college football back in th day and one of my buddies on the team had a great pit.  He was good around people and other dogs.  I loved that dog, I would go over to just to play with the dog.  You could wrestle hard and have hand in his mouth and everything.  The problem I see it is what happennedwith two incidents with the dog that I could easily see happening with a teenager owning one.  We were hanging out and one of our buddies tackles the owner and starts wrestling and the pit immidiately locked on the guys arm, the owner just said something and he instantly let go but guy had to go to hospital with some nice puntucures and bruised up arm for a few weeks.  He then let eveyone know not to horseplay around dog because of incident and would put up if he didn't know people well.  A few months down the road another friend was messing around and pushed owner jokingly and gave a little flinch like he was going to hit him and the dog locked on this guy's arm in same place on bicep, again owner said no and dog let go.  Another ER visit.  After that he just kept him up unless it was his closest frinds.  I could see something like this happenning but if the boy can be trusted and explained to him and his parents to keep dog up around people, maybe.  Just wanted to pass along a story that could happen when you have youngster that might start horseplaying.  That is still one of my all time favorite pits.  Just better not mess around with his owner
