Yesterday I saw my friend smoking, so today I hoped to stop her from getting addicted or doing it again. I asked her if she tried smoking yesterday (rumours were going round she had too) and she acted as if it was a joke, said no and kept trying to change the conversation. I know she has told other friends. However, she does know I am strongly against smoking and she has in the past told me that she was too. How will I get her to terms with what she has done and stop her from ever doing it again? She seems to ruin her life at any opportunity- in the past she has been a cutter, anorexic and bullimic. Please help!

Holy crap she's 12? Geez. All you can do is keep asking her about it. Tell her you can tell her anything and you won't get mad. If she admits it- don't get mad. Just ask her why and tell her you really care about her and smoking could hurt her in the long run- especially at starting it when she's so young. Good luck!
