My girlfriend is a teacher in one of MA's toughest high schools. I hear stories similar to yours everyday (whether I want to or not).

The best thing you can do is give your student an education. As much as they need someone to guide them and listen to them; they need an education first and foremost.

Hopefully you can install in your student that a good education will allow him to skip the vicious circle he will most likely end up in if he doesn't take his studies seriously.
