I am 15 years old and my sister seems to be having financial problems. As her brother I don't mind lending or giving her a little bit of money. My parents found a marijuana pipe and later meth pipe both used in her room. She seems to spend so much that she started stealing money from me and asking me to make counterfeits. Then like always she lies and makes up lame excuses. How should I deal with it, call the cops and file a theft charge try to "scare her straight"? She passed a drug test but it was at home her friends were over and it took her 2 hours. (link)

I would say your sister needs to go to therapy, something may be troubling her that led her to that path. I would also say she needs to go to rehab and get on a program for recovery.
I would write your sister a letter telling her that you care about her, and poor your soul out and try to convince her to get help.
It is sad though because if someone falls off path, no matter what you do it is still up to them to get clean. I know how you feel because my father is an alcoholic, and it took me a very long time to get past it.
If your sister doesn't see the light I recommend looking up self-help books or articles about dealing with family members who are addicts.
Hope things get better!
