Well the other day, my co-workers and I were having a discussion about how this young man is very much corrupt. He's doing drugs, selling drugs, having sex, in the streets, in a gang, doesn't go to school. The whole run around. We were discussing why he's like this and half of us said it was the induvidual himself and the other half said bad parents. Yet we know this other young man who is 15 same age as the other young man and he's doing great in life. He has good grades in shchool, plays the violin, class President, magazine model, immigration rights protester, etc. He's a great kid. Both the kids have a bad parent, been exposed to all the bad things of the world, grew up in the same city, same ethnicity, etc. So, is it the indaviduals fault why they are the way they are or is there another factor within the situation it self? Should a 15 year old know right from wrong?

Everyone knows the difference between right and wrong ~ I'm not sure what that has to do with the situation though.
Those are two completely different people. They may have been exposed to different things, but they are two different people with two different thought patters/ thinking processes. The first male needs guidance. He may have not had that growing up.

For the most part a 15 year old should know. Sometimes, bad decisions just lead to more bad decisions. There's also the element of peer pressure. It's tough to get off the 'wrong' path once you're on it. It's never easy to pinpoint the exact moment where things got messed up. Everyone is different.

You can't remember being 15 ? Peer presser is one factor and a big one , so if the kid picks bad friends he is more likely to going the wrong direction . A parent has little or no REAL control of a kid this age .
Yes they do know right from wrong .

yes the 15 yo should know... not all of it but a significant amount with more to be learned as he grows. Exhibiting a lack of this knowledge is a huge red flag announcing danger to come.

Honestly I feel it is both. Inner city kids are subjected to gangs etc. Parents should have been more in tune to their friends and their where abouts.
