Before you say anything, no, "my friend" isn't a metaphor for me. This is really about my friend.
Kay, so my buddy, he lives next door to me, I've known him since I moved into the neighbourhood 'bout 7 years ago; this is about him.
He was dating this girl, she was a total church-goer, you know, waiting until she's married to have sex, who lived one city up from where we live. He'd drive up there to see her or she'd come down to see him.
He'd always complain about things like her ditching him and leaving him sitting at her house with her mom. He'd always claim he was gonna dump her, then he'd say he loves her. Then he claimed he was bi-polar and that was why he was having wicked mood swings and loving her one minute, hating her the next.
He'd also brag to me about how he like "fingered her" and she gave him lapdances and stuff (his girlfriend...well...ex-girlfriend now, is 15). I mean I don't want to hear that crap.
I just got home from work, right now (at the time of me posting this) it's 8:30am. Apparently last night he punched his garage door and beat the crap out of it after he broke up with her in a fit of rage and tried to get my dad to see if he could fix the garage door before his dad got home. My dad just laughed at him and told him his dad is gonna kill him.
I talked to him on MSN and tried to talk to him about stuff like "There's plenty of other fish in the sea" and he just kinda blew me off, said "I want her. No-one else", then went all totally drama-queen-like and signed out.
I ended up emailing him, telling him to snap the eff out of it and to move on.....then I said "and if you think you've got it rough right now, try being me, I haven't had a girlfriend since Krystle died back in '05" (the girl I dated who died of brain cancer when she was 18).
Right now....I kinda regret sending the email, but at the same time, I think he's really gotta snap out of this depressive bullcrap just because he broke up with his girlfriend.
I mean, he's 16 for god sakes and he did steroids about 2 months ago, and when his muscles hurt from working out, his trainer gave him a line and a half of oxycontin to snort to help the pain and he nearly OD'd. He thinks the anger is from being bi-polar, I know it's from the steroids.
What should I do? What should I tell him?
