When they were taken to a Benin Home, Rehab Center, they ate their meals that they haven given them. The doctors would want to talk with them about the boys attending one-on-one counseling sessions in the psychosocial therapy center. Before the MPs had given them drugs (marijuana) but the previous time they did it started to hit their systems. The boys became so violent that they beat up the nurses, staff members, and they even put a bucket on the cools head while they were pushing him around the cook burned his hand. Because of these things they were basically left to wander aimlessly about their new environment for the first week. Ishmael craved cocaine and marijuana so badly that he rolled up a paper and smoked it. Ishmael broke into the medicine cabinet and combined them together just to make it feel like the first time. How do you feel about this situation? Would you go so far into drugs and abusing people because of your terrible past? I mean, bad stuff happened to them but I don’t think that gives them the reason to be a rebel. If I had Ishmael’s life, I think that would be the last thing to do, to hurt people like that and get addicted to something very stupid.

I understand where you’re coming from. I myself would never abuse any type of drug. In my life I had many people around me be so addicted to a drug, and clearly they never thought about anything thoroughly. They pretty much did, and some still do, anything to get that drug because they became addicted to it. And to get away from reality they chose to become a slave to that drug. But still, there so many reasons to justify his actions, even though everything is just wrong. Like the people in my life, Ishmael has been through a harshly patch in life. Maybe it’s not the best way to calm or get rid of your past, but sometimes you don’t want to even imagine your past life. Maybe seeing the past every second, and in Ishmael’s mind war pictures, forgetting about it for at least one second can be very pleasant for him.
