Troubled teen

I was so worried when I receive a call from my friend-who's a single mom saying that his son did not return home the night before. I tossed and turned on my bed thinking of all the possible things that could've happened to Alex. Alex is only a 16 years old teenage boy with a track record of skipping school and doing everything a young teen shouldn't be doing at their age. His teacher once caught him smoking in school at the age of 14. This morning, I receive a call from my friend called to inform that his son will be send to the alcohol rehab centre because he was caught by the cops the night before for underage drinking at the nearby pub. Sad huh?
