Like a cold slap across the face I am just now realizing how fast my teenage life is flying by. My final summer in High School and one of my friends is going away for 9 months on the 19th of this month. I leave for Philmont on the 6th and will be back on the 19th 3 hours after he leaves for training. He has always been a good friend and I just can't explain to myself how much I really am going to miss him. God. I have two more days before I have to say goodbye to him. I don't care if you guys call me a fucking pussy or whatever this is just kind of being a blow to my reality. I don't even know how to say goodbye to him.
Teenage life is ending

YoungYesrod to admit your feelings and to tell that doesn't make you a pussy or anything lesser than a real man.
telling the truth that you have such feelings makes you even more man , because we don't have to pretend that we are real hard and have no such feelings even feelings at all...
my advice .. go out with your friend have a real good time sit together drink some wine tell stories from the past ... where you met .. funny stuff .. just try to have a good time
have a good time, tell him that you going to miss him ...
i know what it's like .. a friend of mine just left for a 9 month trip to india ...

Yea dude, what they said. Being with your best bud and missing him isnt gonna make you a pussy or gay. Him being your best friend probably feels the same way about it. Be ready for an awkward goodbye hug though.
My circle of friends were all heavily military too, which is what I'm assuming you mean from 9 months of "training". Some went ROTC, some went enlistment, and me and another friend of mine are going warrant officer, completing school while we compile our packets. It sucks, yeah, but look forward to when they get back.
Most of all though keep in touch. Get his address and send him degenerate stuff on the brink of getting him in trouble. Man-love letters work well or pictures of his face on a dartboard. There is much fun to be had from snail-mail. If he's Navy...the job is done for you. (No offense Navy guys.)

Thanks guys. There wasn't any really emotional scene or anything, we just hanged out as the same old friends with him, me, his girl, and a mutual friend in a basement fuckin' around on guitar hero shooting off illegal fireworks every once in a while. I just left to get ready for Philmont and we just exchanged our goodbyes and did a friend handshake. (no akward hugs :tongue: ) I have one more chance to see him when I get back if I drive to downtown KC, KS the second I get back. I just hope to god I remember because he's expecting me to show up and I have the absolute worst memory on the face of this planet. But yeah, I'm definately going to do what you said Skelter and send him some fucked up things lol. He's going to training to be a Navy Seal.

Does she have a penis to touch with his? Didn't think so. :tongue:
It always sucks when your good friends leave. I'm about to turn 22 and all my good friends from High School are pretty much no longer a part of my life, whatsoever. In some ways it makes me sad but in some ways I've grown up a lot and there's reasons we've all drifted apart.
And friends I've acquired since high school have also managed to drift out of my life for various reasons.
It's just one of those sucky parts of getting old, I guess. :sad: Everyone's trying to find themselves and everyone drifts apart, emotionally and geographically

Yeah, it happens. As many places that I've lived, I've found lots of close friends that I never wanted to lose contact with. ALL of them, I lost contact with.
As far as my best friend goes, we've had to leave eachother many many times. We always find eachother again, it's no big deal
She's an hour away from me now (which is pretty far with no vehicle). Make sure you touch penises, though.
As for the others, I don't really give a shit, I have the memories (oh, and myspace) and that's what counts. :thumbsup:
