We are both freshman in high school,and she has been smoking weed since 7th grade.For a time,it hasnt bothered me,but now it is really getting to me..Now she hasnt been coming to school(shes missed 63 outof 138 days of school…thats almost half)and she steals her moms car all the time and drives it around for hours…which,normally,it would bug me,but it really bugs me because part of the time she is high…and my friend Andy died in 2006,along with his best friend because of stupid stuff like this…some guy was high and slammed into the side of andys car…he lived in pain for the last 12 daysof his life…I dont want my friend hurting someone like that.And shes starting to drink and use cocaine…I dont want to see my best friend live like that…Shes screwing up her life…shes failing classes,she cant geta job,Shes not ready to face what the real world is.Can somebody tell me what to do?

tell her parents… i know it sounds like that would completely ruin your friendship but it wont if your really love her and care about her then you want her staying alive and out of trouble right? sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do

I really would recommend telling her parents.
At first it would not help, people into drugs are usualy stubborn about stopping.
She needs to learn for herself the ugly side of drugs.
But there will come a time when she matures and gets herself back on track.

sounds like its time to trade up find someone without the problems it sounds like she is . if she has a family that doesn’t care what she does she will likely go on you may get hurt in more ways than you know drugs are bad and they catch up

i think u should tell her parents bout it and maybe send her to a psychologist or sth,help her out.better to hate u that u turned to her parents and told them that she is in trouble than to see her ending up in a car crash..

i have a problem similar to ur freind im also a freshman. im glad i saw the clean freinds side of wat its like to see a freind use drugs. but to be honest if u do tell her mom i dont think ull be friends and i might make things worse for her… depends wat her parents are like to be honest. coke is a r really strong drug and i wish my freinds were as good as u are but to be honest i have a drug problem and idk wat it takes to fix it i dont think therapy does it or anything i think people get lucky and clean up and others dont. u really need to understand wat its like to have this problem cuz the thing is that people dont understand wat its like for people like myself and ur freind. sry if this dosent help u but please just u need to understand wat ur freinds going through. o and about the driving high thing. dont be worried about her driving high cuz ppl usually drive better when there high its her not having a license that u should worry bout.

Help me with: i think im really confused about life.

I think telling her parents would be the best way to go.. even if youre no longer friends it shows you are trying to help and shows how her actions do affect others. ive seen my bestfriend go through a situation like this and he has been arrested for marijuana but still keeps smoking… youre friend has to want to change to actually do it.
