He says his foster father was a good man who offered to support him if he chose college over music. Unwilling to give up his guitar, Stone quit high school and began life on the street.

I feel sorry for the kid for the rough childhood that he had and his abandonment by his loser mother. But he was offered a second chance by a foster father that obviously cared about him and he threw it away.

this is typical...Immature kids punish Foster parents for the sins of the real Parents. They try to believe that they can run away and erase the past. but life is tough for everyone in some way.
They "Blew it" when they ran off.
Now they wallow in self pity..and form their little "Victim" identity. justifing Lieing,stealing,and not really trying to work.

It all boils down to Rebellion, and blame of others.

they never get better untill they "Grow-up"

You're right, but I also think that by the time he was placed in the foster home at 14, too much damage was done for him to think rationally.
