It's really hard to move from everything you've known your whole life when you are that age. It's kinda scary. I got kicked out of my house when I was 15 and had to go live with my uncle, then grandparents in the country where I was in the middle of nowhere and knew nobody. It sucked balls bigtime but now 7 years later I cant stand the city and all the traffic and congestion. Having lived in the country for awhile i grew to love all the things I first hated about it and now I embrace it. It's hard to make him realize that it's the best thing for him. Believe me I know but he really is missing out and hopefully he will come to his senses and make the move for a better way of life.
