It's really sad that a young boy is involved in something as serious as drugs. I hope there are ways to help him find a better path in life and that he doesn't get lost.
I don't understand how we can get to this situation, with all the opportunities that exist. I think it is important to reflect on the causes of these behaviors and how to prevent them.
Society should do more to support young people and prevent similar situations. It's a shame to see talents wasted in this way, there should be more attention to the needs of young people.
