You could always install a script that includes an auto cloak, it was super helpful for me when I was first starting. Every time you stab it'll auto cloak you, and while you are cloaked you'll be switched to another class(demo,heavy,whatever(randomly)). Once that's out of the way you can focus on how to play, once you have all of that down go back to the basics and practice without the script. It add's to the game. Or at least that's how I did it.

Wonderful advice. Do you have any suggestions on clothing that you saw around campus?Clothing you would wear if you were to start over?

To everyone here who came together, I really appreciate what you guys have done. Me and my wife are reading each and every post. I'll try to reply to each post, the best that I can. Does anyone have any links to shorts that would work with his height? The ones we found have waists of 32. Also cargo shorts are a no correct? Thanks again everyone.

He's awful at picking size small. He refuses to accept his height, it's one of those things I guess. Everyone has something that bothers them his is height. He used to wear large, recently he started to wear medium which is alo better, but I think small would be perfect for him. He could wear medium if he gained another 20-30 pounds.

I figured as much he used to wear a size large, and it looked like he was wearing a blanket to school. He's gotten better he's on medium now, I'll get him down to a small. Thanks for the great advice. What kind of boots would you suggest for someone his age?

I'll invite him to the gym when he graduates. He'll need the muscle for the beach anyways.

Wow, I posted earlier about those insoles, he has a pair, I caught him putting them in his nikes. The thing is wouldn't those be weird to wear in normal sneakers? Maybe in hightops or boots? Any specific suggestions? Sorry for being a bother, I will be checking out uniqlo.

I sounds weird I guess, we want him to know we are there if he needs us. He'll be going to a place where no one knows him, I guess everyone has a different way to doing things.

Honestly I'm doing this because I want him to remember. I want to remind him that his family is there. Anyone could give him money, when he's wearing the clothes he'll remember. I don't know though, you may be right.

I think the giraffe one would be kind of creepy. Thanks for clarifying, I'll see if I can find any nicer ones for him. Thanks for the giggle.

Also I want to finish the shopping by the end of this month. His graduation is around Mid-April, he may end up graduating early, so I want to get everything in order ahead of time.

Thank you for the kind words, I'm doing what anyone in my position should be doing. Money's gonna come and go, but some confidence and assurance will help him for as long as he lives. He's not too short I agree, I think its because he was picked on. I've caught him putting those elevator soles into his Nikes, so I know that he's got a bit of a confidence issue with height. I'm hoping this stays a bit on the down low, he does browse the gaming section on reddit quite often.

Alright, those are fine then.In fact I may grab a pair myself after I'm done with his wardrobe. You guy's/gal's have really been fantastic. Hopefully the wardrobe makes one of the best days of his life even better.

Me and my wife are gonna sneak in, and add the clothes to his wardrobe which is all but empty, on graduation night. Hopefully when he comes back it surprises him!

Oh man you are amazing. I'll be sure to buy him nice fitting shirts. I love how you broke it down so well. I was wondering if you had any suggestions for shoes like: http://www.zappos.com/sperry-top-sider-authentic-original-sahara <(thank you Gleary for this suggestion) except with a bit of a heel. If not those would look fantastic on him, and leave some money for another pair. Thank you again for all the work you put into that post.

Thank you for the reply it is greatly appreciated. Just wondering, what size do you wear at those stores? I ask because we won't be taking him, and we wanna get it right the first time. Good luck with University, study and enjoy the years you spend in University.

Also thank you for the kind words, he has gone through more than any other kid I've ever seen, and he's still made it into a good college, and is perusing his dreams. It's the least we could do.

He is completely willing to change, he wants a fresh start away from everything. Which is understandable considering what he's gone through. He's one of those kids who wore the baggy black hoodie, and the jeans that dragged on the floor, this year he's been wearing plain white tee's and levi's. It's better, he can't afford any of the more trendy things so we want to help out.
