The son of a friend is a good boy, but 1 year ago he messed up and ended up getting a harsh punishment, too harsh in his opinion. He changed and is now a boy their parents are really proud of. Unfortunately, he didnt get over and got very resentful. Since than, he's been respectful w/ his parents but distant, avoids them, shows very clearly hos resentment. When he needs advice, he gets to another adult, me, for example, who tried but couldn't get him to make up w/ his parents. He's turning 15 in some days and, if he wasn't resentful, they'd sure give him a lap top. But in virtue of his resentful behavior, his dad, who's kinda upset, doesn't want to. But his mom strongly supports they should give him this gift, cause despite his resentment his a great boy, they are proud of him and deserves the lap top. She says if they dont give him his gift this will seem a revenge and will make things even worse. I agree completely w/ her.
