Taming A Street Teenager Part 4

By comparison to the stories told in the past, my friend has had a rather eventless past few months.
At one point he went to the beach and was caught in a rip. Luckily he was found and saved from the brink by a lifeguard. At the beaches in Queensland, they have flags along the coastline. These flags indicate safe areas to swim, and you have to swim between them to avoid being caught in rips. However, he says he WAS swimming between the flags! I imagine the flags were moved after this incident.
Later, he was attacked by a dog that had gotten free. He recovered quickly, but the dog's fate is unknown. Laws here say that any dog that attacks a human is to be killed, but he doesn't want it to. I haven't heard about the incident since.
My friend was an op at the Bring Back Bionicle Club's official chatroom. However he decided to retire, and relinquish his part to another friend from his school.
Recently, I told my friend that I was going on holidays in Sydney (see the My Sydney Holiday series), and had no contact with him while I was away. When I returned, his friend told me that he had gone missing! Naturally I started to panic, thinking that maybe he was dead and I'd never find out.
Thankfully he went on a social media site, and I was able to contact him. He had moved to Brisbane and was living with some random stranger and working on his song-writing.
Before long, though, he had made a new enemy with another street teenager, one who was apparently quite well-known in the city. I made the suggestion that he leave the city and return to his home to avoid being killed by the violent animal, so he agreed.
When he returned home, he received a hero's welcome! He says he got 2,000 hugs! It was gonna be 3,000 but the other 1,000 people were men. I need to teach him that there is nothing wrong with males hugging each other!
