I have a friend, she, well he was really nice to me back in Middleschool. I kept in touch with him on Deviant Art (Even during Highschool. Though we usually had different classes in highschool.) I guess I can say he liked being in the spotlight, having some attention on himself on DA amongst friends. Eventually people stopped commenting on his stuff for whatever the reason. And then he freaked out a bit, and caused lots of drama apparently, and now he regrets it. (I eventually stopped checking My DA because I started doing art drills which didn't look all that interesting to post, so I completely missed this.) To top it off, he has lots of life problems, and is going through a mess. I would love to help him. Somehow. I unfortunately suck at trying to help people in times of need. I can never find the right words to make a person feel better. I've kept away from him all this time outside of highschool because he had a boyfriend (I didn't want to cause drama or something between the two, especially since they seemed so happy.) And now Im back on DA and he's writing vent/rant journals once a week. Sure I can say the general 'everything will be alright'. And he'll be okay, but it just doesn't help in the long run. I really just wish for him to know that people make mistakes sometimes and that he's still a good person... As much as I would like to be a friend and talk to him personally, it's seriously just not the right time... (I'm in a foreign country, so is he. We're both going off to different colleges. We haven't seen each other in ages.) It's just seems wierd if I suddenly asked him to hang out with me, (Especially since he just broke up with his boyfriend.) It seems like I'm going to suddenly ask him out or something... I don't want to be misunderstood and cause more trouble for him. >.> Especaialy since we never hung out outside of school.

I know, you know a lot more about him, and the situation that you're in, than me, but I still think he'd appreciate it, if you asked him to hang out. I mean, you could just start out by chatting, if you're not doing that already. I don't think he'll misunderstand you either, and if he ever asks, just say that you're not trying to get together with him (or whatever). I really want to help you out, so if you need more advice, PM me, and I'll do my best :)
