(it does not really means shame on him. it means that his mother got upset for not calling very long time, but because of culture difference, he understand it as it is) and made him feels even worse. and worst part is, it made a chance that he had a psychological drug uses. Several month later, he feels that this is not the way of life that he want, so he visit to NVYCC to take advice and recovery. ~> it was the longest case ever i translated. it shows what was his conflict and how it turns out. yet, his case and recovery is not over. but it was the good information that i can get from NVYCC, one example of what was the teenager's conflict.
