The sour side of life

[Berjj]

The world has just decided to kick me in the face and awaken me from my blizzfull and harmonic dream I call life.

Some time ago I started hearing rumors about some of my mates trying out drugs. They've always been into risky and adventurous stuff but I never thought they'd go this far. I didn't pay much attention to it at first, simply dismissing it as something that would go away, they were probably just trying something new just this time and wouldn't touch that stuff again. I was wrong.

How long has passed since then? A month? More perhaps? How long had they been taking frugs before I heard of it? I don't know. Ever since I started highschool I've been meeting them all the more seldom since we now go to different schools. About a week ago I met one of them at the supermarket and we had a long and good conversation about old times all the way to his place. We then parted ways and I went home to my own place. It felt just like old times.

I just got back off MSN with the same guy, I think it was the most frightening conversation I've ever had in my entire life. I didn't recognize him at all, he was completely different. It all started off prety normal with him sending me a few tracks of various death metal bands (He's been trying to make me listen to that stuff for years. ;p ) and asking me what I thought about them. Then he suddenly started talking about "life, society and the universal non-existant truth."

He talked about how there was no truth in the world, the meaning of life and how importat it was that I held on to things that made me happy. I can't say I haven't been thinking about those things myself but he's not the kind of person to bring something like that up. He also said something about "It used to be our world, but they stole it from us", whatever that's supposed to mean. In any case, as you can imagine, I freaked out and realized this has gone way too far.

They're great people. I love and respect them as my friends, and I don't want to see them redused to junkies. I've also heard rumors from a reliable source that one of them were taking antidepressive drugs before this begun to counter depression.

I know some of my mates share my oppinion in this and I'm going to find out just who does, so we can band together and convince the othes to drop this bull**** before it gets really bad.

I know I should probably talk to their parents instead of making a stupid post about it on a forum, but by doing so I feel like I betray them at the same time.

I'm not really sure what I expect to get from all this, but if you think you could help me in some kind of way by information or general hints I'd be very greatful.

That is all.
