He failed himself.His parents and the system failed this kid.
His parents also failed him by not stressing the importance of an education and a work ethic towards school and not just sports.
Kids really need to start taking responsibility for their actions, and saying this is on anyone but him is a cop out.
I'm sure there were others that went to his same school and had the same teachers, but actually put in the work and showed up to class and they can make it into colleges yet went through the same "system" that supposedly failed this young man.
It is on him and his lazy parents.
He a **** anyways, so **** em.
