Nickâs life has been in a downward spiral since his freshman year where he increased his use of alcohol and was introduced to Adderall which helped him stay alert and study all night for exams. He began using cocaine when a friend introduced him to it at a party. Nick was socially awkward and spent much of his time alone while in high school. He had found his new group of friends who liked to party and liked Nick’s access to financial means.
Nick was the first of three children in his family. His father was a successful banker and provided a good living for the family but he was aloof and seldom showed interest in Nick.
