Dear Son,
Firstly my apologies to take a stern stance without even understanding or listening to you. I thought I understand. Maybe I should have ask for your opinion first but I was a little to anxious to dish out the punishment, my bad but I guess that is what fathers do when they wanted their children to grow up right.
Anyway I do understand that you wanted very much the Addidas shoes. Those are not cheap shoes that anyone can afford... not even a working adult. You probably think that you deserve it and I agree... you have done well but buying those shoes without having enough money and owing money to your friends sounded a little unresponsible, don't you think so?
I do not really want to go on ranting about what you should have done but rather you understand this, life is full of temptations, you need to be resilient to them... first only spend what you can afford... second you safe first before you spend... third, spend wisely. Not everyone can do that perfectly but if you practice enough you know the saying... you make progress.
You may not be able to comprehend the current situation and advice now but I know you will, as you journey on life's passage. Think before you act. Do the right things.
Your loving father.
