He was out in town on Friday night with schoolmates - last day of term for them. They were out late afternoon and by 1am, still not home. I messaged him to ask where he was and he messaged back, sorry, we were helping a lass who was a bit drunk.
Anyway he duly came home safe and sound - today I discovered the full story: he and a couple of mates came across a uni student very very drunk and on her own, saying she was planning to go to some club. DS2 and his pals talked her out of this, found out where she lived, walked her home and got her flatmates to come and take her in. DS2 took a number for one of the flatmates and texted him the next day to see how the student was - she was fine.
I am just really impressed with DS - he and his mates are not long turned 18, literally just left school, this was one of their first times in town - and they had the nous to realise that the young women was vulnerable and the compassion and care to get her home safe and even check up on her later.
Not even sure why I am posting this except to say, lots of teenage lads get a bad press but at least there are some who know when to do the right thing.
