Please help me--i dont know what to do.

My best friend is turning into a total burnout. I'm not against drugs and alcohol at all really, but I'm starting to worry about her. She is going through a lot of sh-- right now and she is drinking and using away her pain--but of course it always comes back. I told her it hurts to watch her go down this road--but it makes no difference. Every day she calls me when she's high and I cant talk to her like that. She's going to fu-- up her life and I'm scared for her. She's always smoking weed--I dont care about that though, its not that bad. But she's drinking a lot and she is getting shrooms and an assload of pills. I've had my share of drugs and sh-- so I dont want to sound hypocritical but I dont know what to do--will someone please help me?

thats a hard one. my friend used to be heavily on the drugs. I think u just need to get her and sit her down and talk to her about how much this issue hurts you, and ask her to cut down or stop because its making u feel upset. i hope that helps.

good luck, peace

GO TO THE SCHOOL COUNSELER. You want what is best for her right now, even though it might not be the best for you. SHE WONT got to college at this rate she will loose EVERYONES trust, including her parents. If that doesnt work, call her parents, tell them SHE NEEDS RAHAB. Your friend will hate you for about a month or 2, then she will be thankfull. She will see that you are strong to do that, and that you could have SAVED HER LIFE. People die from being drunk/getting high. Do you want that to happen to your BFF??!? Look, I dont mean to sound harsh, its just, think about how aweful it would be if she died? If she is truly your BFF, SHE WILL FORGIVE YOU it will just take time. Talk to your friend about her problems, try to help. But, as the Bf, you can fix everything. SHE NEEDS SERIOUS HELP....if you want her to get better.

You said yourself that you've had your share of drugs and shit.. Well, you got over it, didnt you? Talk to her... tell her examples of people who's lives are shit because they do nothing but take drugs. Im sure if she really saw the picture, she'd at least calm donw. I mean I smoke marijuana... I dont see it as something bad, i mean hell its legal in some countrys... *Shrugs* But anyway. Be a leader... not a follower.

I appreciate everyone's comments---I'm still considering what to do. This is hard but I'll think of something...

umm i actually agree with him...just be there and try to set a good example for her....you don't have to snitch on her...that would cause a lot of problems...people don't have to be snitched on in order to stop doing something that's wrong....i mean the girl said it wasn't that bad, maybe she can stop it before it gets worse, and then no one else will have to get involved and make it into a bigger mess than what it already is...i'm not making sense, am i?? damn! i suck at this stuff lol...

Be beside her... talk to her! just tell her, your always there if she wants to talk! xxx
