My mom owns several Sonic Drive Ins and I managed a few of them dealing w/ alot teenagers. All of them being diff w/ diff probs growing up. The biggest prob was obeying their parents. In all the self help books I have read they all talk about giving your child the tools as they grow up to deal w/ adult hood. Life is alot harder for kids these days then it was for us growing up and it's even more so important for them to have these tools.
I growing up wasn't given these tools. I am the baby of 3 kids and when I say baby I mean BABY. I always had someone rescueing me and I never learned to except responsibility for my own actions. Not until I started my regular counseling a few yrs ago.
Yes we do have to learn from our on mistakes but hopefully we are given the tools we need to make the right decisions in life.
Good luck and I hope God watches over him in this error of his life.
TC!
