Question by J.J.: A friend who has anger issues and is falling into depression?
Hello, it’s me again. After Dan… Daniel (I can hardly say his name without tearing up) died, Andy– his– our friend well especially Danni’s best friend hasn’t taken it so well, of course knowing him better than I. He’s falling into depression I think and taking it out on himself a lot. I don’t think he needs “professional help” I think he just needs a friend to be there since all of them are random strangers that leave him after a while on Facebook and such.

His twin Claiton right now is his main priority since his foster dad beats the crap out of him (Claiton). But I want to make ANDY my mine priority since who knows when something could go off? I think he’s bipolar I’m not sure but he’s up for a while down a while– doesn’t do drugs or anything like that. He’s 14 too. I don’t know what to do. I really don’t. He gets angry easily and shuts people out like that. He doesn’t trust me too much since I didn’t quite know him until Daniel died.
