I scribe for a 15 year old boy (4th year) in a class at school and he has unreadible writing. (I'm 17 - an older pupil - 6th year). He is quite a trouble maker, very lively, in quite a rebellious group and always trying to get the teachers attention. He smokes and often plays with lighters in class. His dad left when he was young and I don't think (from what the boy said) that the dad shows much interest in him, even though the dad moved up to the same town from 300 miles away at the end of last year. He mentioned suicide in his ramblings and even though when I questioned him on it he denied being serious, I think he is quite lost in having a purpose/aim in life. I really want to help him find some aim in life, I was hoping to get him involved with a bit of the school gardening as I'm on the environmental committee but I don't know what else I can do. I don't want him to laugh at me or this to backfire. I think he will probably be leaving school at the end of this year, like me.
