I think the worst part is that this kid has had some serious issues with depression for the past 6 months, and dealt with it through drinking (often excessively, and sometimes driving on top of that) and smoking pot. For the past three or four months, his life has been work, home and Internet, his only interactions are with his parents and one friend. He's an extremely smart and talented person, one who I have immense respect for, but has issues with arrogance and accepting responsibility for his own actions; basically just incredibly immature on a level of cognitive ability and interpersonal skills for a guy in his mid-twenties. In addition to getting his meds adjusted, I hope he seeks counseling, he just has a childish way of dealing with his emotions as well as life in general
Not to say that me ranting to this degree isn't childish or inappropriate, but it's necessary to get my feelings out on the matter.
