Fuck broski; You're doing god's work. What I wouldnt give to have had a solid male role model to teach me life skills as a teen when my dad was to busy working in a foreign country. Everyone's situation's a bitch, but seriously anon, keep it up! :)

Good deal man. I really wish a had a decent father in my life. I feel like I would have been on track sooner and would have avoided a lot of mistakes. You're a good guy.

It is the right thing to do. I know that a lack of male mentors is what is hurting this generation.
>>37464205
I have tried to help them, but many are too far gone.
His own brother cannot teach him because he is busy teaching himself.
>>37464218
I appreciate the zeal, but I am committed to my fiance and preserving traditional values- and that means mentoring the youth

I feel such a great sense of responsibility for my less gifted siblings, and want them to truly succeed. My dad wasn't there so I never had anyone setting me straight. I really could have used that and I'll be dammed if I can't fill that role for my younger siblings
>>37464309
Also I never really realized growing up how much your younger brother look up to and follow your example. I'm consciously brainwashing them now to be decent human beings
