My problem is my best friend.
He thinks he is an unwanted child. He feels useless, insecure, and is suicidal. But he can sing ad play musical instruments well.
Because his girlfriend's parents are against him, he resorted to drinking and smoking. But he has managed to move on. He's now graduating from college. I want to help him live a meaningful life.

You're friend has to learn to love himself more. He can't go on a self destructive rampage every time someone doesn't accept him. It sounds like he is on his way, but this is a lesson he has to learn on his own.

Indeed, you are right. With his own thinking, I know he can learn lesson to his own; he can manage to think about things because after all, this is about him and his future. I would be so happy if he could think things well.

Just give him time. Usually everyone learns to just live life after a while. Sometimes when weve never experienced bad things we think they mean the end of the world, but once we see things always get better we just accept the bad with the good.

Yes, I will give him the time, the time to think things. Yes, with bad things we could see things better. Thats is the only time that we could realize things, of how grateful we are with our life and be happy and contented. Honestly,, I do not know what I am saying.But I hope he'll see things by himself.

good thing that he manage to graduate in college despite of his bad habits. Well if you really like to help him moral support and being always there for him is already a great help. Try encouraging him on going out more having more physical activities and developing more his talent. In this way you can help him not to feel depress and emotional always. According to research those people who are out going are the most happy person.

Thanks for the sincere answer. Perhaps, all I can do is to take a look at him oftentimes. I am just a friend - advices, concerns are just the things that I could do. I surely need a pray over with him though it sounds awkward.
Yes, he did graduate. I do not know how he did that but it is not important, anyways. I hope he'll have a good life someday.
