Dear Grant,
Thank you for choosing our advice program to help you in this situation. As we read your letter, we see that it seems that you are in a jam. We will be more than happy enough to help you. Firstly, in order for you to turn that "boy" into a man, you must first ask yourself, "Do I know the requirements of being a man? ". Maybe in order to get him to listen, take baby steps with him to try to at least convince him to listen and at least let you be able to give him dignity before he dies. He does has a reason to try, and don't say his life is already gone. He probably needs to be told that he is loved and that someone is there for him even if he knows it or not. Since he is acting like a hug, try to convince him that he is very much so different than a hog. Hopefully, our advice will help you in your situation. Good luck with your task.
Sincerely,
The Advice Columnist
