    2. Write a letter to a friend of yours who is hanging out with the wrong crowd and is being pressured to take part in a ram raid. Based on what happened to Lemeki and using your own life experiences, what advice would you give your friend?

    3. Create a poster that is intended to inspire someone to get their life on track after hanging out with the wrong crowd (‘wrong’ = who routinely break the law); they may even have gotten involved in a gang.
