Unfortunately IME most poor parents don't catch on to the fact they are the problem until it's too late. I know I didn't. If the kid is uncontrollable at 13-14 yo it's pretty likely he's going to be uncontrollable forever. The time to "nip it in the bud" is from birth to 12 yo or so on up till they move out.

In s few instances coming down hard at 16-18 yo works, but it's likely the kid will be a druggie/drunk/whatever by then.

Sister died, next younger brother is a drunk/druggie loser. My folks thought being our "pals" was the way to do things.
You have to pass a test to get a drivers license. You don't to raise a kid/ Hence- our culture.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
