[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 638316, member: 1157"] At 18, the reasoning center of his brain is still not fully formed -- so yeah in a way, he doesn't "understand." Yeah, he probably does think he's above the law. Kids that age (even PCs sometimes, about more minor issues) have no concept of the future consequences of their actions - they feel invincible. They convince themselves things won't happen to them, and then act all shocked when everything falls apart. It's maddening, I know! Hard as it is, the only way they will learn to understand is to suffer the consequences of their inaction (yeah, with difficult children it seems to be more consequences of inactions, vs. actions!).
