No, it's more like the unfortunately common example of a boy who chooses to go down the wrong path. He chooses to hang out with hoodlums, to get involved in the drug subculture, to cut school, etc. You may fight him at first in an attempt to wrestle him away from the dark path and make something of his life, but unfortunately there comes a point where there is nothing left for you to do but let go and pray that he will choose to turn his life around.
