advice

I have a best friend. We've been friends for about three years, and she used to be a really cool person. She's still a nice person, but she's changed. She smokes and drinks occasionally, sends naked pictures of herself to guys, does so while she has a boyfriend, and hangs out with a...well, slutty girl who is a horrible influence on her. She won't tell me about this stuff, but I hear it from other people. I confronted her about it, and she said she was scared to tell me about it because she thought I'd freak out and throw her out of my life. She only partially admitted to doing these things, and I keep hearing more about her everyday. I have a lot of good people in my life, and a lot of friends. It's sad to me that she's turning into such an insecure moron lately. How should I handle this? It's getting exhausting to be her friend, not to mention it's not a great feeling to see someone you care about be so stupid and lie about it.

Sadly enough, I had the same thing happen to me with a "best friend". Sweetheart, unfortunately there's nothing you can do. You can't not hold yourself accountable for her actions and if you keep telling her over and over again that this is nothing healthy for her then there's nothing you can do. Honestly, you have to sit bit and let nature take it's course and in time, she'll realize the advice you gave her when something goes wrong in her life. I don't wish her bad, but I can almost guarantee that something is gonna happen and that's when she'll open her eyes. Sometimes you have to let people fall on their faces and let them learn on their own... I hope this helps.
