Mentoring a 10 y/o Syrian boy

You could make a huge difference in little bro's life. He doesn't care if your feet are healing, teaching him how you see the world and a way to look at things that arn't his probably terrible life could change him. It's a good thing anon.

Thank for the encouraging words friend. It's much more about time then it is about my feet healing and me walking around with crutches. I really want to get a good start in school - and not jeopardize the effect it was on me mentally. You know what I mean?

Am I being selfish or?

>>18640405
nah, it's always reasonable to look out for #1. if it's something you really feel a drive to do, just balance time for him like you would a hobby. except it means a lot more than playing dota or something.

>>18640428
Yeah. You might be right. I think I'll see about it tomorrow. If I got the same feeling that I've got now - I'll go ahead and sign myself to the task

He's 10, he won't "find himself". But you can be kind of a role model he can "suck up" to. You don't have to act a certain way, just be the man you are. You're friendly, reliable, you talk to people and make them laugh and listen, discuss stuff and you can most importantly DO stuff. This leaves a big impression on him. I was a boyscout and when I was 18 and the leader of a group, the kids looked up to me. I told them what the plans were, what the rules were for the games we played, made fire and cooked, built a tent and a fire place with them and it left a big impression. By just being the normal dude you are, you're THE man for him. You talk normally to the kid, ask him about how his day at school was, what he learned. He'll start talking and opening up quickly if you are genuinly interested and you'll find out quickly what type of person he is.

teach him that raping and killing women wont get him anywhere
please

I know. What I was trying to express with those was that I could... As you mention... Be a role model and show him how to act and behave.

Don't you think that I can help him find himself in something? If I bring him to music events... Museums etc. That he might think... This is what I want to do?

Get out of here. He's not a fucking animal.

...well you cant tame a wolf neither sooo....

>>18640690
That's an exaggerated statement. You don't know the environment he comes from neither do I

>Don't you think that I can help him find himself in something?
Yeah you can. The thing with the hobbies is good, gives him routine, skills, teaches him language and culture, gets him some friends. I'd support him with school stuff, make him not feel like a looser in school. When he'll grow up, around the time from 14-18 he'll wanna try his own stuff, drink, smoke weed, fuck chicks. You can't really set a path for him, maybe he doesn't even like you.
