if you're actually as much of a friend to him as you think you are, get him to stop posting in drama all together. the kid obviously can't handle it
That's what I told him.
Which is why I am so certain that he will stop.
Seriously, this is probably the first I've actually given him advise on what to do.
He says I am one of the few people he respects greatly so I hope he actually listens.
and no it's not "best to wait". that's an unfair expectation on both of your parts. people aren't going to wait out for him to get his act together, we're going to judge him on the here and now - "welcome to the real world"
How are you so sure then?
I already said I talked to him.
Can you show me some stuff that would convince me he won't change?
