The story talks about a boy with a wayward behavior and later learnt in a hard way
*Chapter 1: The Old Way*
Alex's life was a blur of parties, late nights, and skipped classes. At 17, he thought he was invincible, and his parents' warnings fell on deaf ears. His grades were barely passing, and his future seemed uncertain. Despite his parents' efforts to guide him, Alex felt suffocated by their rules and expectations. He craved freedom and excitement, often finding it in the wrong places. His room was a mess, with clothes scattered everywhere and his schoolbooks collecting dust. Alex's phone was always buzzing with texts from friends inviting him to the next party or hookup. He felt like he was living life on his own terms, but deep down, he was lost and searching for meaning.
As the days turned into weeks, Alex's behavior began to take a toll on his relationships. His parents were at their wit's end, and his teachers were frustrated with his lack of effort. Alex's friends were mostly acquaintances who shared his love for partying, but he didn't have anyone he could truly confide in. Despite the emptiness he felt, Alex couldn't seem to break free from the cycle of partying and skipping school. He was stuck in a rut, and he didn't know how to get out.
One day, Alex's parents sat him down for a serious talk. They expressed their concerns about his future and the path he was on. Alex listened, but he didn't take their words to heart. He thought he knew better and that they just didn't understand him. The conversation ended with Alex storming out of the room, feeling misunderstood and trapped. His parents exchanged worried glances, wondering what it would take for Alex to realize the gravity of his situation.
Alex's life continued on this trajectory, with him barely keeping his head above water. He knew something had to change, but he didn't know where to start.
