This is a lot for someone your age to cope with…. the drugs and drink are not good so you need to speak to someone you can trust… a parent, a teacher a school counsellor…. tell them your friend has a problem and you are worried about them and ask them to speak to your friend… you don’t have to go into detail… it should be enough for any adult to realise that you have a genuine concern about your friend if you approach them.

Oh wow. I remember when I was in that age range… it really wasn’t that far off, i’m only 18 lol.

But I remember how much it hurts to get dumped during those years because you feel as if life is at a stand still… ESPECIALLY if you’ve been with someone forever and then it just ended.

I’ve been with my honey for over 2 years now. If we broke up for good i’d be crushed but i’d also understand that the relationship is over. Doesn’t mean my life is. Your friend has alot more to live for. Don’t let a breakup ruin life, there’s much better things.

And even though this is cliche, there’s plenty of fish in the sea.

How I see it though there’s plenty of fish but there’s always that certain one you wanna catch and keep as a trophy forever (lol)…

But yeah, think about it before you go doing things that’ll hurt you. You have more to live for.

Btw.. I say YOU but I mean your friend :p

This is going to be so tough fdor her to go through…all you can do is support her - maybe talk quietly to her parents so they are aware of the situation and can help. I am sure they would won’t too. Don’t let this affect your friendship with the girl who did the dumping though :)
