I’m going to try to spare you all the details, simply because it would be too much to read otherwise. But for starters, ill let you know that I am a 17 y/o male, living in the northern parts of Europe.    

When I was around 5 I met the person who were to become my best friend for the most part of my childhood, up until recently. Sure, we’ve always had our ups and down, but during the last year, things took a hard turn as my friend started to abuse different kinds of substances. Also started to skip classes, and things only got worse and worse. I experimented with some of the as well, but quickly realized that it was nothing for me. My friend (Let’s call him “John”), met a girl this spring, and they started abusing different kinds of drugs together. The whole scene ended up with him getting caught, and put into some kind of rehab. He continued using thou. 

Back to me. I’ve never quite had the feeling that I’ve ever fit in at school. Finally, when I took the decision to swap class (to IB, if any of you knows what that is), my life became great. I finally got the chance to meet people, whom shared the same intellectual mindsets and interests as me, and I, for the first time in many years, actually felt happy. I got new friends, and my life was just great. Up until today.

Apparently, “John” has decided to start in the same class as me. He was one of the things that I was running from when I wanted to start a new life. He will stick to me like glue, and this really bothers me. My new friends will see that this is my childhood friend, and probably leave me. If not, Johns slacking attitude and shaved head will probably scare them away. I just want to be left alone. 

Any encouraging words? How am I supposed to act?
