Re: ? for my freinds son
I find it odd that this can ruin a "friendship". I would ask how strong the "friendship" was in the first place.
On the other hand, it appears that he is with certainty going to run some form of a cycle. Now if the whole "neighborhood" knows he plans to do this you could become an accessory.
On the other hand, you could potentially lay out some of the "directions" so he isn't going down this path completely blind. Or lead him to the internet...there should be no reason someone can't buy some reading material or log on to some site (similar to FG) and not be able to teach themselves everything we all claim to know already.
Ask yourself....why exist if you can't be the best? What is YOUR answer?
