Re: ok there is this kid!
^ Its right though. You never know what actions of ours can change someone's life.
I think his options might be limited right now because of his age.
The best thing would be a paper route, they hire young. A lot of the kids in my neighborhood cut grass and shovel snow for money too. In fact, everytime it snows one of the neighborhood kids comes by and cleans the entire driveway for $10 and of course, we tip them too. Maybe if he had regular jobs lined up like this, he would become too busy to engage in other non-productive things.
