Meet Mason, a 15-year-old aspiring biologist with a classist attitude and a penchant for trouble. After his father decided he didn’t have time for him anymore, Mason was sent to live with his mother, who enforces stricter rules and doesn’t spoil him like his dad does. But when Mason’s school offered a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Australia to study wildlife, he saw it as the perfect opportunity to escape his new life. However, his dream was shattered after a shocking incident involving a homeless man.

After Mason’s appalling behavior towards a homeless man, his mother decided to cancel his dream trip to Australia, costing $10,000, as a punishment. Instead, she initially planned for him to volunteer, but after reconsidering, she decided he would pick up trash to learn the value of hard work. Mason’s father tried to intervene, but his mother stood firm. If Mason can earn $2,000 by May, apologize, and show a genuine change in attitude, he might still have a chance to go on the trip. Let’s see how the internet reacts to this tough love approach…
