work, study and self introspection and not hanging out with thieves and hoodlums should do the trick. Spoken like a true suburbanite Pug!

Amazing, simply amazing! 15 years old? drugs, alcohol, shoft lifting, and you still not stay in the rehab? Amazing, simply amazing Not really. This has been pretty common since the 80's. Usually rich suburbanites or poor inner city kids.

Scott,
The cane comment was outstanding!

Hizeme,
I agree with Scott in that you probably need more help than can be found on the internet, or in a dojo. Scouts and swords can give you something to focus on, but improvement has to come from within. Way back when I was a teenager, and doing pretty much the same thing you are now, a very, very old man told me something that changed my life. He said that if you look at your life and don't like something about it, change it. If you can't be bothered to change it, learn to like it. I was young and whiny then, so I told him that I couldn't change it; ... my parents blah, blah, the neighborhood blah, blah, money blah, blah, friends blah, blah ... When all my objections ran down, he looked me square in the eyes and said "You can change absolutely anything you want to about your life, anything at all. You just need to want to badly enough!"

So, if you don't like things about your life, change them. Research and figure out what help is available to you, and use it! Don't continue to think that something else is going to come and save you.

Good luck!
