I agree anon. I think Mako hasn't supprorted him because he's scared that Bolin is gonna get hit around really hard when he tries to get out into life. Relationships, job, ppl, everything. I wonder if Mako is aware that the reason Bolin is naive and gets himself into 'Stupid situations" is because he never told Bolin any of life's harsh realities. Cuz some of them will seem very contradictory to the poor guy.

The biggest one is :You can't alway save the ones you love.Mako has ALWAYS been able to save Bolin, and Bolin hasn't been in that scenario. He might somewhat know this one w/ his parents and not being able to help them (even tho Mako was the one who saw them get killed, Bolin would probably wish at some point that he could have done something), but this might be overshadowed by Mako's constant success in saving him and other ppl (Lin, in ep 107, Korra in 109, Tenzin and the kids in 112, and Bolin himself saving Asami in 112).. Due to all these examples he may not understand this as a reality and see it more as a misfortune.

The other one's will deal more w/ success in Pro-Bending. I have a feeling Pro-bending is gonna open Bolin's eyes to how life really is, (and that Mako's methods of yelling at his teammates for poor performance, isn't the way to go [got this from Comic Con vid off Youtube!}).

I really want to see Bolin grow substancially in the next season. He realy needs ot be ab;e to grow up, Mako!! It'll be easier for the both of you and you can talk to him like an adult. You might get closer in that way since your conversations will be more mature.
