Come back when you are 18 years old.

The fuck is wrong with you? Prepare to have your ass kicked by his parents

His brother already cam in and told me i was being to hard on him

You could always give a qualified apology.

Apologize to him

Hey give him some credit, he was actually smart enough not to give his age unlike 90% of the highschool bullshit questions.

I already have tried to and he just will not respond. i might try again at practice tomorrow.

the problem is that if i am 2 easy on him he will never learn

(Note I am 18. i am a senior)

Coming from a former section leader, you should strive to be the friend and "cool leader" of the group rather than the uptight rule enforcer. Your people won't mess around when they respect you, and they won't respect you if you're just a tool of the overbearing band director

Don't apologize to him, you were in the right. Actions have consequences and he's just a kid, kids do stupid shit all the time. He was crying out of humiliation and regret, which is his own business. But don't expect to be his special friend either unless you form a bond of friendship over a long period of time. That's the burden of leadership, if you're too soft on some people they fuck around and test your limits.

Just tell him that you see potential in him / his playing and that you want him to focus more during practice because he could be great. If his parents come at you, tell them the same. You're gonna be OK brah.
