goodness of advising

I use to have a friend in secondary whom we nolet so much.This friend of mine used to steal other peoples properties which he was about to be given an x.I tried to advise him to stop but it was hard for him to stop until he was given a suspension of two weeks.when he came he came to me so that i could tell her the effects of stealing and how to overcome it.he stopped it and now he is performing well in class and now all the teachers like him.
