You're a really nice person to talk to her and her kids, but at the end of the day, the kid has to want it to make it happen. I wouldn't get too overinvolved-- at the most, take the younger kids to lunch and get them excited about thinking about their futures and what they want to be when they grow up and how they can get there (don't do drugs, listen to your parents, good grades in HS, SAT, apply to college, do well, internships, etc.)

You're a special person for taking this on. It sounds like the kid's parents really cared but were too bullheaded and ignorant to be of any real help to their son.

Despite his poor choice, I can't help but believe that you were a positive influence on this kid.
