about

Hi. My name is Corbie. I'm 15 and a sophomore. Don't let the age fool you though. I do have a good bit of wisdom with certain things in life. You can ask me any questions about whatever you need, no matter how rediculous. I am a very understanding person. I will be honest; sometimes I don't know what to say but I can still be helpful. I love my boyfriend Monty. We will have been dating for 9 months on his birthday; February 2. I also lovelovelove MUSIC, poetry, rainbows, penguins, pandas, koalas, puffins, clounds, rain, spring, and daisies. I'm not a big person on politics; I don't really discuss them. I would like to go to school for Elementary teaching and Ministry with kids. I love kids. I am a full time worker with the children program at my church. Other than that I am a simple person. I will try and help you out as best I can.

My friend, Jayelle (16) is very into drugs and although I have been friends with her for three years, I'm way different than her. I'm not into that and no one can influence me to do so. However, she's ruining her life and she doesn't care and slowly she's trying to drag me with her.

Her parents don't know that she uses drugs and I don't see how. She's always high and she has drugs in her room. They're clueless. I don't feel comftrable being around her anymore and I have talked to her about it but it goes in one ear and out the other so I stoped trying.

She got upset with me because I did not want to hang out with her because of it and I honestly did not feel guilty for it.

Here's the problem. Both Jayelle & I got invited to a college party but I would not go because they're crazy and I did not want anything bad to happen but she still decided to go. She called me at 2 in the morning asking me to come pick her up. I'm also 16 and I don't have a car of my own so there was no way I could leave. I felt really bad because I knew she was in deep trouble. High, drunk and with a bunch of older guys. I freaked out so I called her older sister who is 18. She acted calm and went and picked her up. I got a phone call from Jayelle the next day cursing me out and blaming me for getting grounded. I felt really bad but I honestly don't feel like it's my fault.

Even though I don't want to be friends with her because of the things she does, I still don't want anything bad to happen to her. Her mother found her drugs and basically cursed me out for it because I didn't go with her to the party and "protect" her. I was shocked.. hearing that from an adult! My mom took my side and is proud of me for not following into her footsteps but there is a part of me that feels horrible. What do I do. Thank you so much!!

Okay, what I advise you do is tell her your whole side of the story. If you don't agree with what she does tell her again and make it CLEAR. If you have to drop the friendship because your not comfortable, so be it. Let her know you care though; don't make her think she is alone.

Good Luck,
Corbie-Leigh♀
