A mentor is a therapist with a skillset.

The following phrases are best kept in mind with how I'd mentor this kid:
"The beatings will continue until morale improves!" and "This is my rifle! There are many like it, but this one is mine!"
Suggesting R. Lee Ermey hit it. Drill Sarn't got the cure for what ails the whiny kids. It's been my experience that once you quit letting them go "Woe is me," help them get some purpose and direction in their life, and get outside a show where Script Says, kids grow up just fine.
If not, at least I get to have fun traumatizing him until the world ends.
