Does anyone else have a true Burden with in there family?

I have a cousin he got good grades through middle school and through his first 2 years of high school. He lives in a high cl area of Virgina beach. But then 2 games came out with in the same month, that really put him off course, Halo 2 and World of Warcraft. He was addicted to these games so addicted he never did his homework and sometimes even skipped school all together. His parents did everything they even took his computer apart. But he new a guy that also skipped school to play so he went over there. He just barley graduated HS, and had to got to community college. So he moved to the ghetto really ghetto his roommates are on drugs and got him in to drugs to. He's been fired from 3 low wage jobs (at the bowling ally, a candy store, and a pharmacy) the drugs have made him to thin to work on construction. He had a GF that shouldn't be running around with piece of trash like him she's going to UVA which is a really nice college)
