(Sorry, it's a little long...but I had to explain, otherwise you wouldn't understand fully)

Ok, I'm 13/f...and I've "experimenting" with some drugs...like weed. I don't know if I'm addicted or not, but I think I am. Every weedkend, I beg my mom to go to this "friend's" house to get stoned and drunk...and only that. Well maybe fuck shit up, but that's beside the point. My (real) friend told me that people who go "punk" or gothic start to do drugs, and have sex at an early age. Well I'm "punk" (I hate labels) and she was right, and now I'm scared. I don't want to get caught, but it feels so good...to be able to relax, and laugh about EVERYTHING. I know...drugs are bad, but I need a lot of help. I asked my (good) friends to help me but they said, "You're on your own!" I'm having withdrawls, and I'm getting agressive, and just plain freaking out on people. I can't remeber anything. Sometimes I can't even remember who my friends are. I can barely write my name on my papers, and my grades SUCK! Ever since my rents divorced, I was rather depressed. And I feel like drugs help me. the first week of school I was stoned every day. Before I go to school I'll do it. Then my friends who don't smoke weed get mad...then go tell everyone who doesn't need to know. I like attention, but not negative! I'm desparate...

Drugs are a bad influence on everyday life. You may think they help you because they make you relax but really its just your way of forgetting for a while. Forgetting about the divorce, and your unhappiness. You cant let drugs be that for you in your life, with drugs the pain just keeps on coming back. I have a friend whose started using after she was sexually abused by a family member. She was always either on a "high" or really low. It wasnt until we convinced her to go start therapy that she had her breakthrough and could cope with her feelings. I suggest you find an adult that you really trust and confide in them, and I know I know, adults are so worthless and what not, but there has to be one you can talk to. Definetley doesnt have to be a parent. Find help in other places than your local drugs dealers, and also a sidenote about your "friends" if they really cared about you they wouldnt be leaving you to go through this alone.
