I understand if you don't wish to talk to me about this. We barely know one another, but while I do agree that many of the young people here are more than capable individuals that are able to rise to the challenges of life, you are still young. Experience comes with age, and one of the reasons adults care for children for so long is to impart their own experiences in the hopes that their mistakes can be avoided.
I have a very close friend who struggles with alcoholism and I have almost fallen into the bottle myself once or twice in an effort to escape painful events. If you want to talk, I will not judge you.
