It's almost beyond comprehension. Some kids are forced to become men and burn out before they even hit 18. I will never be able to relate. It just fills me with existential horror to fathom
Some of the older guys there used him as essentially a drug mule for a while. He was under 18 so the idea was if he got caught he wouldn't do hard time. Got a gun pulled on him once and almost got shot. I felt so bad for the kid and tried to help him as much as I could, but he was just kinda at that point where he was too far gone, and there wasn't much I could do as a nearly homeless gas station attendant.
I think he's in his 20s now, haven't seen him in a while.
