[QUOTE="GandalfMithrandir, post: 5892524, member: 82765"] [sblock=story of my messed up friends lives (condensed to include mostly relevant information]In my group, which is basically comprised of a lot of the kids at my school that don't really fit in very well, I've had two people that smoked weed regularly, one of them was also an underage alcoholic, one of my people suffers from severe depression, due to bad/misunderstanding parents, and cuts herself a lot and has actually passed out at the table from a lack of blood before, another one of my people attempted suicide by sticking a rifle in his mouth but just blew out his cheek instead. Another former member of my group who graduated last year had a personality disorder, I'm not sure which one it was but he was always pulling pranks on people, which is not normal. Yet another was addicted to pretty much all the drugs he could find (Vicadin, Meth, Pot, Crack, Acid, heroin if he could find it, and adderall, which is not normally a bad drug but he didn't have ADD and didn't need it at all), or at least he was last time I talked to him back in 9th grade.
