Thank you for the insight Sparkls. Yeah I cannot force him. He is the type of kid that if you force him he will dig in that much more. He might not officially be mine but I think he might have got that from me.

I will keep taking your advice and talking to him about it and anything else he wants to talk about it. I will be there for him and will bring it up here and there. I intend to talk to him about what my counselor tells me and what I talk about. Maybe he will see me as an example and will be more inclined to go. I hope so, because I can really tell he needs help.
