That's not his real name.
Apparently, his year hasn't been so fantastic either. Actually, it sounds like it's been pretty fucking fucked up.
1. He came out as being bisexual to a few of his close friends. Unfortunately, one of those close friends decided to completely fuck his shit up and he proceeded to tell the entire baseball team, and the news spread like wildfire from there. His staunchly Republican parents force him to go to a severely Fundamentalist Christian preparatory school. You can imagine how his teachers and fellow classmates took that declaration.
2. Throughout the summer and for the first few months of the school year (partly due to the treatment he received upon coming out as bi), he was dealing with an addiction to prescription pain medication and alcohol. However, he is clean now (as of 04/28/09) and things are looking up in that regard.
3. Our cousin and his best friend in Arizona, Pager, is still missing. Her parents have made no further efforts to find her. They just fucking GAVE UP because they don't want to deal with helping her get past addiction and bipolar disorder. Cthulhu and I talk a lot, of course, but she lived in AZ, just an hour away from him. She was readily there for him. And now she's not. And nobody is doing anything to get her back.
Hang in there. You're a strong person. You always have been. Your wit and your resilience have always impressed me, and I will always admire you.
And even if you stumble, I'll be right behind you to catch you, let you breathe, and push you back up again.
