He never had friends and that was his biggest issue but he never really wanted friends unless they were cool. I remember going through a wierdo stage in middle school. From cool/feared to lame and having to be friends with the losers and clowns. I accepted it and learned a lot from them. But the minute I grew, got popular and got women, I dip on them ASAP and for good reason. They were horrible to be around but at least they were friends. Like things like Silent Hill, shyt I didn't like but I gave it a chance. They were guys to talk to. Dude should have kicked it with any crew. Lame or not. He could have became cool maybe in HS or even college but he had no social skill whatsoever. He never had any friends so he never knew how to get them. He likes elem school because everyone was basically your friend then with several exceptions like bullies like me.
