     Thanks Mike, I do know that I could do the "My house, my rules" thing, 
but seriously, this guy gets a strop on for the smallest of things, and 
well, he knows 'me', and he already knows what I want, and what I wanted of 
him. The signs of the rebellion in him were showing when he was at school at 
about the age of about 9. I think I did the 'porn on the school computers' 
thing here before, so I won't go into that, but, then there was the big 
'blade from the pencil sharpener and getting other kids to cut themselves' 
thing too. And then, when he was about 14, and in his most *favourite* 
lesson, Art, he did the "it would be fun to throw a few water bombs around 
the class to ruin other's work" thing. Headmaster did a ninja kick on me, 
and since that last episode, I've kept my eye on him constantly and tried to 
get him to see the errors of his ways. Hmm, and now this...

     The potential to do the same will always be there, as I said before, 
sheep. I don't know if that's a worldly term or not, but here it means "to 
follow like a sheep" - and that's exactly what he's done with this gang. I 
know, I know, he wants to be accepted with the most popular guys around him. 
I mean, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em right? It's safer that way yes? 
Problem is, I know these guys, and I know what they're capable of, and when 
they want to have a 'laugh' at his expense, well, who knows what will 
happen.

    Mike, from what you've written, I'm kinda glad that I wrote what I'd 
written. I'm sure you'll be a great dad. You can only do your best mate.

     ~Steve~
