So yes, he had a choice, and took it.
- jacquesm 9y agoI highly doubt he saw the link being just a kid. It's pretty easy to slide into a situation where peer pressure is stronger than what an unprepared person can cope with. It's the reason why many people consume alcohol or smoke, it should be no surprise that it can be strong enough to get them to do things that are even more against their own interests. The need to belong is a strong one. I consider myself very lucky not to have this particular trait, but even today (and I'm 52...) there is pressure on me to conform, to drink alcohol for instance. I really am not surprised at all that a younger person longing for a particular kind of company could be pushed to indulge. So yes, he had a choice, but much further back than where the danger was visible, and to make it seem as if he chose willfully for the life of an addict is not very nice.
