[QUOTE="Carri, post: 680615, member: 17790"] Same with my son! He was the captain of the varsity soccer team as a freshman. As a sophomore he decided he was sick of soccer and wanted to quit. Me, his dad, the soccer coach, other players, everyone...all tried to talk him into continuing. We were shocked he didn't want to play. He was an excellent athlete. I told him he had to find something else to be involved in, anything. He chose drum lessons and played in a band, he's a very talented drummer. The drugs escalated from then on. Fast forward to today, 14 years later and he's a heroin addict. I don't know how we could have MADE him play soccer. We sure tried our best and that's all we could do. Over the years he's even admitted that he wished he wouldn't have quit soccer. Buy that's the past. All we can do, is do our best. I agree, try to keep them busy! [/QUOTE]
