my son went into a youth challenge program . i am hoping that this will help him become better person and give him the discipline that he needs . ahh , is he a troublemaker right now ? most of the time , it 's the friends they hang out with . young people are easily influenced by the people around them . it had alot to do with the crowd he was keeping at school . their habits was rubbing off on him . i tried talking to him several times about it but of course with being the mother he acted like i did not know what i was talking about . he is not just horrible but i knew if something did not change it would have gotten worse yes , he needs a firm hand to lead the way out of this kind of behaviours . you need to step up and introduce some strict schedules so he wo n't have time to do anything bad .
The son's negative peer influences and concerning behavior prompted the mother's hopeful outlook towards the youth challenge program.
