Appreciate the serious responses from those who gave one.
I'm not going to dwell on this, but i just decided at least until i'm of age i'm going to refrain from drinking.
The sad thing is really this, the guy is 24 so it's not like i saw him every day at school. He always had the worst luck but he was like a father to my friends and myself. He always threw the parties for us, he let us stay at his house. He watched out for us and always took the blame if something went down.
My parents don't know this guy exists obviously, because i had to hide it from them, and i never met his family, so when there is a funeral i won't be able to attend. I have never met anyone in his family so it's not like i could find a way to work around the whole situation.
The guy was always doing his best to keep us out of trouble and let us have some fun, i'm gonna miss his great out look on life, and the way he treated us kids even though we are all 16-20 years old.
That's the saddest part really.
But thanks again everyone. It does mean alot that even though you've never met me face to face, you would take the time to share your thoughts.

Hey MR, if you really want to attend the funeral, than do so... attending will only show his parents how much he was loved and by how many.. they will only appreciate it man... If, by some very odd chance, someone from the family asks, you can just tell the truth.. that he was your friend. Do it for him man.. I know it's hard, but I'd go 100%

I can't go because i've never met his family, seeing as how he was 24 and my friends and i are 16-19 it wasn't like he could take us to their houses.
I have no idea how to reach his family and he lived with a couple other people, he was renting a room so i dunno, maybe i can get in touch with his family through them somehow.
It's kind of a long shot and as much as i'd like to attend i don't see it happening. It's not very optimistic but i've been pretty much a downer all week.

Hey, very quickly... I've been to too many funerals, and the way they work, is there's tons of people, you walk in, pay your respects (no speeches in Croatian culture, but others maybe)... find out what time it is, and go 20-30 mins in, no one will even notice you among the crowd, trust me. Bad analogy but: It's as easy as crashing a wedding after dinner's been served and everyone's up and about - and YES, I've done that a few times!
so trust man... I know you'll find the courage to go.. either way, I hope everything hurts as least as possible..
one love
