Hi Jacqueline,
People who say that boys should stop singing through the break, are teachers who are not competent enough to do so. I have taught many unbroken male voices, and we've hopped through the change of tone successfully without any damage at all.
The one thing the kids sometimes find hard is relating where their new pitch is. How debilating would it be to suddenly stop and have to start all over again at 16 plus?
My advice is, if you're not certain what to do, leave it alone, and try and find a teacher such as a SLS teacher who could very easily get your student through this very interesting period.
All best wishes,
Ian, Voice wrecker to the stars
