Sorry it's long, but it's VERY important to me.
Okay, me and a bunch of friends were at this party, and there was alcohal (i'm a freshman in high school, 13 years old.) Well anyways, my boyfriend can drive, but he decided to leave his car there(it was a friends house.) and so we decided to split the cost for a taxi ride, about 10 of us squeezed into a taxi, well my REALLY good friend, didn't seem drunk, but we offered countless times for her to ride with us, she kept saying NO, so we gave her the walk test, and she did in a strait line. So since we couldn't talk her into it, she drove home, and ended up driving off a mountain, and she died. Well I felt so bad, and guilty, and I still do. So now I'm trying to stop drinking, after what happened, I decided I better stop. Well I was wondering, I want to get over the guilt, and stop drinking. One of my teachers knows that I drink, and I was talking, with an attitude saying it's not like you can die... and the next day my friend passes away. She is the only adult that I know, but I'd feel really akward talking about it to her, and I wouldn't know how to bring it up, neither of my parents know, and I don't want to upset them, I mean I'd get my butt whooped. So does anybody have any Ideas what I can do? None of her friends besides me want to talk about it, my boyfriend will change the subject each time we bring it up. She was sort of a loner, and she didn't go to my school, niether did my bf, and I met her through him.
So if anybody has any ideas, I'm open to everything EXCEPT telling my parents, or naybers!
Thanks in advance for any help, this is VERY hard for me, so please TRY to be sympathetic.

Wow, I'm very very sorry about this. It just prooves how aweful drinking is for your brain and what it can do to you. It's not, however, your fault. You offered her a ride, and cared enough to check and make SURE she wasn't drunk. If she walked in a straight line, I doubt she was drunk enough to worry about driving off a mountain. She probably swerved to miss the truck and that's what happened. But it's in no way your fault.

Anyway, I suggest talking to your teacher, or a school guidence counselor. You could even go to another school, where no body knows you or would tell anybody about it. Good luck.

(Rating: 5) Okay, my boyfriend goes to another school, and we were with all his friends, who I happen to have met, and become friends with, so nobody at my school knows what happened, except I told a friend that I have a friend that died while drinking drunk. My teacher only knows that I drink, so really going to another school wouldn't make a difference, but thanks for the help.
