I've made a post about this person before, but I'd like to bring it up again for certain reasons.
All this semester, I've been in the same class with him (Trig, which fortunately has only six students), and despite what I keep hearing, I just keep seeing this guy as being a cool person (which he is).
This semester, however, it would seem that what I have heard of him is most likely true. Even so, I have yet to try treating him differently. I don't want to gossip about him like everyone else seems to. I want to help him, and I strongly believe the first step in doing so is simply being a friend.
In fact, this person is a FANTASTIC artist (he's the one who indirectly got me into Furry art), yet there is some that is... not the greatest thing to be seeing. I did a search recently and found one of his galleries. I had been expecting what I would see (for those who know, "yiff" and some similar "styles"... -_-), but actually seeing it... in a way, hurts me.
I sent him an e-mail a while back about an art piece I was entering in something, but I happened to throw in a lot of comments about his own art. He was glad to hear that, yet (knowing that I'm a Christian), he seemed a little worried about me seeing his art. I knew why, and I just hope... no, I pray, that somehow God will shine through me and bring back that incredible friend I know.
He once claimed to know Christ, and I want him to know Christ's love again.
I can't give up on him...
