my friend John

[shylittleme]

Well lets just say he is in a big pickle right now. When me and my parents came back from portland today i checked the messages on our Answering machine and i got a message from my friend (John). But we weren't home when he called. But once we got back a few minutes later my friend John comes walking through into my parents House and wanting to know how things are going since he hasn't seen me for awhile for months even. well after we gotten to talk alittle bit after awhile into the Conversion he told me and my mom as we were all sitting on the Couch talking that he was Kicked out of his parents House (just tonight) so he was trying to Bum a few nights out of my parents to sleep in my parents house for awhole week starting Next week. since he is now starting tonight gonna have to start living out of His Car. But his parents told my parents why they kicked john out of the House is because he wasn't following his own parents Rules around the house etc..... so they gave him to Choices either start to ship up and follow the rules and get his life into gear more or to Move out so he choice to move out. i don't know if it has to do with Drinking and Drugs is why he wasn't following his parents rules or what i do not know. But its just a real mess right now! i feel for my friend i really do. we (Me and John) both Grad high school together last year.

anyways sorry for all the Ranting....... i just needed to let this all out. since all of this happend tonight right as soon as me and my parents got home from taking a Drive.

That really is a pickle. Whatever you and your parents do, don't jump to conclusions before you have all the facts. Your friend's parents have a point, but then maybe there is something else going on that started this whole thing.

Either way, the truth will be revealed.

I second C.E's wise opinion...

I graduated at 17 and left home VERY willingly, but there are always 2 sides to every story Shy. I do feel for you though--it sucks to watch a friend suffer w/out being able to help. I'm sure he'll sort it all out...

XOXO

Yeah thanks for both of your Guy's concern. But yeah he wanted to spend the whole week at my parents house starting next Monday all the way on till friday and saturday and even sunday. but that is when i'm starting my 2nd summer on that litter partol Job and i need my sleep alittle bit since i'm not to used to getting up eariler. so that is out. But we're thinking about having him spend the night Friday and saturday of next week. He's supposed to call my parents house and see what my parents decided. But the funny thing is that he has friends living right up the road from my parents house...... in some Apartments! that he could go stay with as well. so i don't know why he doesn't? But i'm sure things will work out. and his parents aren't the most revealing type of parents they keep things to themselfs most of the Time.

But i'm sure in the end of all this things will work out. since john is also staring his full time work the 21st of June painting houses.

Maybe he trusts you and feels safe and secure in your company. Yeah, he could go to those other friends, but you may have no idea what type of people they are and if they really are "friends" of his. One of the cruel things about friendship is that alot of people use it as a tool to get things from other people, and they are through with you they 'dump you for the new model', so to speak. While I've not personally experienced this, thank God, I know people who have, and its sad that they would be used that way.

So in thinking about why he chose you over them, I'm sure theres a good reason for it. And if you really are friends with this guy you at least won't turn him down. Although I wouldn't try and overthrow the authority of your parents. Thats disprespectful. As long as you try to do right by your friend, thats all that matters. And I'm guessing he needs you right now. He's vulnerable and needs help. Maybe you were meant to help him, maybe not. But as long as this is your issue, you should deal with it in a caring manner. You'd want the same done onto you. 🙂
