Well hello everyone. My name is Bunny, and i'm here to give you all advice. First things first, i'm very straight forward. I'm not about to sugar coat things for you. I tell it like it is. That's not saying i'm mean, just don't expect me to tell you that everything will be okay, when you obviously have some work to do. With that said, i really do give great advice, and i'm here when you need me.

xoxo,

advice

I have a friend who is heavily into drugs. She isn't doing it to have fun, she is doing it to escape problems in her life. She has had a very difficult life, so it isn't like an emo thing. I am too close to her to help her. I have been through this with her many times. My question is, what can I do to try and get her away from all of the drugs without making her mad at me. Also if there is anything you could suggest, where I could help her, it would be much appreciated. Thank you all so much in advance. This problem has really got me down.

I feel for you. I have had friends who have abused drugs. It would always upset me to watch them do it, or hear about it, because i knew they were stronger than that.

If your friend is going through a rough time, she needs you more than ever. Pull her aside and say "I'm worried about you. I don't want you to get hurt. We should talk about this."

She may not want to talk about it right away. That's perfectly normal. But don't ignore her. Remind her occasionally that you belive that she can settle her problems in other ways, and that you're always there if she needs to talk. She'll come around.

But if she doesnt seem to want to talk at all, or if she becomes hostile towards you, or you see a big change in her additude, it's time to get some help. Talk to a parent, a teacher, a counseler or whatever. You could potentially save your friend's life. This is an important subject. Just keep in mind that your friend needs you more than ever now during this hard period in her life.
