So this guy I grew up with blew his brains out yesterday. He was from my neighborhood and a good friend in childhood. During highschool we grew apart as he started getting into drugs and hanging with people I had no interest in being around. His life kind of went downhill from there as he got a DUI and eventually lost his license for as long as I know. After I came home from college through a mutual friend we became friends again, it was like old times for a bit, until I realized his drug problem was still there and he ended up trying to scam me out of some petty cash. Kind of showed that he didn't care about our friendship so I stopped talking to him, again. That was 8 years ago and I hadn't seen or spoke to him since. I have no idea what happened in his life to make him do that, but I got to imagine drugs were involved. I feel really bad for his parents who seemed to always support him and were good people in a well off family.
