i have been thinking. the mum who allowed her son to get a tupak tatoo. what planet does she live on? she thinks that would be sensible at a fairly traditional school? she believes he will be proud of his tupak tat when he's 40?
she has placed him in a no win situation. she is a social worker. i know that at 18 he could make his own decision. he's not 18. i am sure that they agreed to abide by the school's standards and rules to get in there in the first place. what has his mother just taught him regarding entering into a contract with someone?
probably nothing, at worst, she set him up to fail. silly.
