After school, as a teenager he told his mother that he wanted to pursue writing as a career. His mother told him that writing has no career in Brazil and his father is an engineer, so he should become a logical person like him. At his parents’ wishes, Coelho enrolled in law school and abandoned his dream of becoming a writer. As he was not made for law, so within a year he dropped out and started living a rebellious life that includes no purpose roaming and consumption of drugs. Seeing his rebellious behavior, his parents admitted him to a mental hospital at age of 17 where he stayed for 3 years. Meanwhile he escaped from it three times.
