I know a 15 year, who's very smart, he's a gang member and sells drugs because his single mother needs help keeping bills paid, he got caught with drugs a few months back and has been in jail ever since, I couldn't offer him any alternatives, I couldn't tell him to go read books or get a job, he is the man of his household at 15, no book can immediately get him out of that.
