SodaHead Celebrates Green Week

Visit & ask him: Does he want to continue on the road to stupidville? Before your visit map a plan for him to 'follow'(the plan will include you). The plan will allow him to own his actions and accept the consequences. He has to accept who he is, & who he is not; then he can chart his course to adulthood and become a somebody, possibly a leader. He needs to clearly understand that he has wronged somebody before he can move forward. Atonement is the one word that needs to be applied well here. Deciding on the basis of juvie or no juvie is like deciding between cancer & polio, the decision has to reach far beyond this moment. My quick intuitive guess is that he has no social infrastructure to build on & stupidville is where all his buddies live. He doesn't have to join the boys choir or the boy scouts to develop a better social infrastructure. He could get involved in bike racing or swimming, just involved in something besides 'hanging out'. Anything to involve his intellectual curiosity.
