HELP, please |
As was already mentioned, a reality check is badly required. One thing for sure is that no matter what happens it will all come back to your son eventually. If he takes the wrong road he will encounter serious problems in time to come. The seeds of these problems will be sown as soon as he starts to neglect his own care. If he takes the right road he can enjoy a good standard of health and enjoyment of life, whereas if he chooses the wrong road he can look forward to a very poor life with many serious complications, some of which can be fatal. I don't know if he's aware of this, but if he's not it should be pointed out to him.
I do know that at his age life seems immortal. I was a little like him when I was a teen and a wasn't always doing what I should have been. But when I learned what might happen if I continued, I quickly changed to a more appropriate lifestyle.
All you can do is inform him and hope he can realise the errors of his ways. I wish you well and hope you are successful in your endeavours.
