I am so slow and tired, that I had to read every post over and over again, before I finally understood them. Yes, yes, I am friends with him (not too deep)...but I can tell you know matter how hard I try, there is no way under the sun, that I will ever get him to go to a public place to talk or to study for a test-he's never done that before!!! Just about everyone in the class encourage him to do better, especially the teachers. I am still learning some things about him, even tho we are in a lot of classes together, we hardly get to talk- since I am trying to learn (plus the teachers aren't the nicest when it comes to talking in class). Now that I recall it, I do believe he is in some kind of therapy type class for his drinking, I remember him telling me about that. Our vice-prinicpal (DEVIL!! ) is on his case too. The vice p. searches his locker everyday and once and a while he will get called down to the guidence office, and talks to his councelor. I think he might have some family issues that may be going on too, I am not 100% sure, but I think there might be. He's told me about his parents drinking problems, I think that's where he might be getting it from. Ok..too much thinking and typing, I'm pooped. (I saw The Towers today for the 4th time, I think that's what did it. lol). I'm sure I missed a lot, again, sorry...too pooped! *yawn*.

p.s. Twisterdog- I am a girl. LOL.
