Re: drugs, alcohol, stealing, gangs
A kid in our extended family in states is kinda becoming a 'bad' kid. Personally, I think two factors contribute to the young kids going in wrong directions. First, the bad company and second the laissez-faire attitude dictated by law on parents. No matter how "hard" you argue or scold your son, nothing can match the kutai they get in Pakistan. More often than not, a good slap in time saves alot of trouble in the years to come.
My prayers with you.
