Since this is a character study for a role you can know a few things. When a parent, especially a mother, is absent in a young childs life the child grows up resentful and also very unsure as to what is right and wrong, the child also doubts the parents love and thus may mistrust the parent.
The character now lives with the mother which must be horrible as he is grown up and on the outside feels as if its too late and he doesn't need her now. Also she is a maid, she cleans up after others and he would be ashamed of that - especially as he studies at the school where she cleans (I am sure he hopes or hoped nobody would even know she was his mother at first).
You don't specify whether he is violent or the kids in his school are violent. Rich and spoiled kids often feel they have the right to be violent because they seem to have the right to everything else (which Mom and Dad have bought them). Your character seems more of a sad loner and may turn to violence in defence or as a cry for help and/or attention because deep down - he wants his mother to love him and be proud of him.
Hope this helps - its good to see a question here which is actually about the craft of acting!

Nope, i imagine you'll finally end up wonderful. My mom and dad divorced even as i replaced into 3, i have not in any respect committed against the law, I have a respectable activity, i'm no more effective psychologically tousled than each person else in this u . s ., I pay my expenditures, I have a existence. on the different hand, my ex's mom and dad are nevertheless married, no human being in the relatives works, they stay off the authorities, and he has a ingesting challenge. i imagine it has more effective to do with the type of ecosystem you advance up in. more effective to have one good be certain than 2 undesirable ones. Or one undesirable one and one depressing one. you'd be wonderful.

If their are not parents to show guidance, then the child can make their own rules.This then makes for a behavior,for rebellion for any rules.Also they can be easily influenced from what is wrong and right.Your are their to teach them how to walk and feed their selves and the dangers that can hurt them.Then how is a child expected to function, if he loses that support from a parent.He needs to mature with self control.

It is important to spend time with kids. I am not going to lie, My kids like to wear nice cloths. If they did not wear nice cloths, there chances of succeeding in life worsen. I even took out a payday loan to supplement my shopping income for school. It is important to save money for nice things. That, sadly, is what makes a kid enjoy school and get along with others.

The problem is the teen wants to know there's someone there for him, through good times and bad, someone to set limits, someone to do things with and talk to. There's a void. Instead of talking about it or complaining, he internalizes it and acts out.
