Cain effect--there is always one who is going to be the problem child type of thing. He needs to find his own pad or shape up. Parents are scared of losing him--that's why they are tolerating him.
Its their roof--guess he has chosen his own path--with his issues--since you all will not be there to shield him from his intolerable attitude. One day he will need to face his fears since he is making life miserable for you all--by burying his head in the sand--with his lack of production. If I cant be happy then no one cant -- kind of attitude from him.
He is a fuse box and needs to grow up and take responsibility for his life--parents need to hold him accountable for his potty mouth too. Or hit the pavement for a job to get a pad--seriously.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
