Bryan Hullihen was only 13 years old when he began smoking pot. Growing up in a beach community like Jupiter, Florida provided an abundance of opportunity for this kind of behavior and a level of social acceptance that made it easy for Bryan to justify it. Many of Bryan's friends smoked pot and drank and it wasn't long until most of the social engagements were centered around drinking or getting high. At this point in Bryan Hullihen's life he lived in two worlds where one realm demanded that he do well in school and perform in sports and the other had him surfing, skating, fighting, and getting high. Before long school began to become an inconvenience and Mr. Hullihen's attendance dropped so low that he had "incompletes" for grades which was worse than F's if you can imagine that. Bryan wanted to do well and knew that his life would go nowhere if he didn't pull up out of this nosedive. Bryan also knew that his father could, and would, provide him with the discipline he needed to be successful. Bryan called his dad and asked if he could go live with him and a week later Bryan was back in Lake Worth, FL. Bryan sat down with his father and devised a plan to get his grades up. Bryan talked to all of his teachers and asked for extra credit work and every day after school Bryan would sit at the kitchen table, study, and do his homework. After five short weeks of living with his father Bryan brought his grades up from incompletes to straight A's. Bryan and his father spent a great deal of time together which was very special to both of them. Bryan Sr. was able to be a father to his son and Bryan Jr. had the guidance he desperately needed.

Informational Story about Bryan Hullihen

For several more years Bryan Hullihen continued to experiment with drugs and drink alcohol while his behavior became increasingly more unstable due to his continued substance abuse. Bryan spent most of his time during this phase of his life with his girlfriend, his stepbrother, and his stepbrother’s girlfriend. Although Bryan was only 17 he drank more alcohol than most 21-year olds and he lived his life as if it were a perpetual party.
