[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did he make a C in trig or is he addicted to opioids? Does he not smile and say good morning or does he pull a knife when you ask how his history test went?

I can’t tell what you mean by ruin you or what kind of bad decisions you’re talking about. [/quote]

In between.

Weed, vaping, sex, and the most recent/most egregious...attempting to steal something that he owns (that he doesn’t even care about or keep picked up).

His grades are As and Cs, no in between. I’m exhausted. He has two involved parents, but only makes good choices when he’s on punishment. I’ve become a full time juvenile detention officer. Two steps forward, three steps back every single month.[/quote]

He stole something that he owns? What does that mean?[/quote]

I took it to mean a duplicate of something he already has but doesn’t take care of. For example, some expensive sunglasses that he leaves lying around the house and doesn’t care if they get scratched, or an expensive shirt he leaves lying on the floor instead of washing and putting away, or a game he never plays or loans out to friends without keeping track of it. And for some reason he thought it would be cool to steal that item, even though he already has one but doesn’t take care of the one he has, which demonstrates that the theft wasn’t about needing or apparently even desiring the item.
