when friends change. . .

i moved about a year and a half ago at my old school i had loads of great friends when i left i did my very best to keep in touch with most of my friends this worked but one girl who was one of my very best friends is slowly slipping away shes changing so much and it scares me i love her to bits and i dont want her to get her. moslty when i talk to her shes the same and we catch up and have great fun together but she is forever emailing me and telling me how she walks out of class all the teachers dont know what do do with her she is really smary but refuses to do all the work shes proud of going out and getting drunk all the time she seems to have lost any moral standards. im scared for her and it hurts me to see her like this does anyone have any advice.
what should i say to her? what should i do?
please help.

Maybe she needs to see a counselor. Most people I know, drink to make some form of pain go away. I don't know her tho so I'm not sure. But I would guess she was hiding something deep inside her that is horable and she wants to forget it so she drinks to not remember it.

damn... that's happening to my best friend, too.. i just moved 8 months ago and he's doing all that stuff.. honestly.. i don't know what to tell him that he doesn't already know... so i don't know what your friend's problem is, but i'm guessing she doesn't care what she's doing... and she does know that she's doing that stuff... meh it just pisses me off...

tell her to get some help....or get some help for her.......and get clean cuz thts not rite...

don't let it piss you off. you didn't cause it. and you can't fix it. you have nothing to do with it. now you can continue being her friend if she means that much to you and you share other common qualities, but what does it matter that she cuts class? or she goes out drinking and partying a lot? and doesn't seem to care about the consequences? that's her problem. your problem is you. you need to spend less time worrying about what your friend does, and more time thinking about what you do.

everbody changes, people go through hard times and do things to make themselves feel better.. all a friend can do is be there for them.. normally the reason that you were drawn to them and was their friend to begin with doesnt actually change, and unless that does and you no longer like them, you dont need to do nething other than be there and support them

every one does change, but when some one changes that much over only a year it is ussually from the change of people they are hanging out with or something building up inside of them, that they can not share.

ex.
a few years ago my sister was raped(and i only recently found out about it) but my parents didnt believe her because she lies all the time and makes up many stories. so they just shrugged it off and went back to my other 2 sisters (they are often in surguries and have many health problems) she didnt tell any one else because she thought no one would listen, so she slowly started to drop all her friends, and became friends with ones that have influenced her life (in the bad way) she got into drugs and skipped class and snuck out and all this stuff (it is a 15 minute car ride to her closest friend so she would organize transportation) she quickly became an alcholic and her school makes were barely passing.

all she needed was some one to talk to and things would have been better. maybe all your friend need is some one she can trust and talk to. or maybe it is because of the new croud she is hanging around with. just try and let her see that you guyz can share anything and wont back out on eachother, then maybe she will begin to become herself again and get the thing that is bothering her, or realize what her new friends has done to her, off her chest.
