Bryan Hullihen lived at his father’s house for one year before moving back to his mother’s in Jupiter, FL. When Bryan got home and settled in he recalls feeling as though many of his friends and children he grew up with moved on without him. Bryan states: “Many of the kids I knew went on to for new social groups and people seemed to act differently. It was a strange feeling because I felt as though I no longer truly fit in with all the kids I grew up with. It was like I had to make friends with my friends all over again." It didn't take Mr. Hullihen long to settle back into life in Jupiter and soon after his return he was doing well in school and being a kid at home. Bryan spent much of his free time fishing, surfing, and skating with his friends and, for the most part, did very well up until his sophomore year in high school. It was around this time that Bryan and his family moved to his stepfather's house in a part of Jupiter called Jupiter Farms. Moving to "the farms" as Mr. Hullihen calls it, was a difficult transition for the young Bryan and it wasn't long before he made new friends in the new part of town. Bryan began smoking pot again on a pretty regular basis and it wasn't long before he and his new friends were selling weed and getting high every day. Going to regular class at Jupiter High School was becoming less and less realistic which is when Bryan's parents place him into a private "Christian home school" that only require class attendance once per week for four hours. Bryan's drinking and drug use really took off around this time as the demands of regular school that kept Bryan somewhat stable were no longer present and all-day Bryan was free to do pretty much whatever he wanted.
