Tyree is only 13-years-old but he tries his best to act like a grown-up. It's gotten him into trouble in the past; hanging out with the older crowd and not thinking about the consequences. He stayed out late with his friends and used drugs, damaged property, and stole cars.
"I was spending time with negative people who didn't care about me," said Tyree.
Tyree was sent to a juvenile detention center, but he didn't put any effort into changing. When his probation officer told him he was transferring to Highfields Residential Program, Tyree was heartbroken to move away from his family.
