Hey, I love my life, things are going great! and things are gonna turn out JUST like i planned! But my best friend, well things didn't go the way she planned. And now, i don't think she knows WHAT to do with her life. See, her dad got in a serious Semi Truck accident, and he is 100% disable. And then this year year mom died. Her brother isn't helping the problem or helping my best friend. So, all my friend has is her friends, she kinda pushed me out of her life, and lied to me like making her dad call me and say that we cant hang out because she is sick, when she is actually hanging out with her other friends. I dont think her friends are the right friends she should be handing out with...because ever since her mom died, she's been smoking, and then she has been drinking, and racing in neighborhoods in cars with her friends, racing in their cars trying to run away from people with guns. We dont really talk anymore, and she said she'd never drink again but she lied, and still is. If she wont listin to me, how can i help her?
Sincerely,
~miSSc~
PS~ she is drinking under age she's only 16

Most likely, she is probably doind all of this for attention, because in reality she is depressed. You can keep trying to help her, but like I said she isn't going to let you help unless she wants it. I know its sad to just see your friend ruin her life, but this kind of stuff happens. i know life sucks, doesn't it? [ LilMia811's advice column | Ask LilMia811 A Question ]
