He explained what he had done, and told the boys that they could turn themselves around by taking control of their actions and finding the good within their souls- that all of us have to make that struggle- some have it easy, and some have it hard to do. But winning that battle is the only true path to happiness.  Then he told them they could come to him any time for support and he would be there.
