Consultants opinion

unity and family harmony is not being taken care of, and additional complications such as drug
addiction, gang or school drop-out, lack of authority figures, and delineation of behavioral

Considering how teenagers think and the activities they do nowadays, Im able to
create balance between what I want them to learn and what I know theyll take into

them to be exposed to committing crimes and of course being penalized for it.
How does the organization and interaction of the parts create the behaviour that
