Then this 18 year old lad is an immature fool.
I will hope he will look back at this incident and his daft comments on a chat room site and cringe and shudder in acute embarrassment at his immaturity in the years to come here.
Yes .. we've all done the daft things in our time.. The stuff we do not want our own kids to know

if you understand what I am trying to say here.
BUT.. at age 12.. I knew it was wrong to drive or ride bike if not fit to do so.
My parents... I guess they taught me quite well really.
Do I write him off? No.. I've fostered too many of this type over the years. A firm hand makes a difference .. only at age 18 . .. I fear this kid will not receive the education required here. He should do. He may be "adult" in the eyes of the law .. but he's just one stupid kid who can be educated out of his stupidity all the same. I would rather try to educate this naively stupid idiot than have this singularly stupid kid costing me in recidivist crime until he dies anyway.
