Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
why not take him out to catch a soccer match or something? do some stuff u he used to like to do when he was younger. like take him on a walk down memory-lane kinda thing? voice out to him that ur not the only one whos worried about him (during the walk) his family is probably just as worried about his health too. to stop sounding like a health freak, go easy on him. dun be too harsh on him when he starts acting weird and smoking pot again. besides it wouldnt take overnight to change him and stop him from smoking pot. maybe u can approach a family member to help ya along with it. hoped i helped a little, take care!

Just tell him, "If you really care about soccer or your sports, then don't smoke because it's going to make you tired and the first to be out of breath." Trust me! People that play sports and start smoking realize that it really slows them down when playing. Their not as good as before and they run out of breath really fast. If he doesn't believe you. He'll see it for himself soon!

Okay, this is serious. And I'm sorry about your mom and your sister, ok..try talking to him in a controlle dmanner..expressing the outcomes to it..what good could come out of it..NOTHING..Its WRONG, NASTY and could change ur life instantly. We are talking KILLING. Take your sport more seriously and always think on the posotove side of life.. Dont ever SMOKE

who cares about sounding like a health freak?! TALK TO HIM BEFORE THIS BECOMES A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND HE DIES!

Well, since you can't go to your Mom or your sister, you need to go to a school counselor or something, someone you trust, try going where he goes, or getting him to hang out with you more so that you can keep an eye on him. You HAVE TO take it to a trustworthy adult who will help you, you can't handle things like this yourself. AND you shouldn't have to. Make sure you tell your cousin that you love him before you do any of this, but don't tell him you are going to do it. Good luck

telling your cousin to not do pot- does NOT make you a health freak at all. if you even mention it, that's being one of the strongest people that person can have. you could be a reason your cousin doesn't get in a lot of trouble and get hurt. anyway talking to him will NOT make you a health freak no matter how much you think you do sound like one. ... actually- just dont lecture... then you would lol... but talk to him face to face or however you feel comfortable. you're just concerned, that's really good. =] -ask_anything

Tell him that you really care about him and don't want to see him doing pot. Tell him to get more involved with soccer,then maybe he won't have as much time on his hands to do bad things like pot.

if you care about him taht much..you should def. make him stop. when i honestly care for someone i bitch at them, and inform them how much that person doing this is bugging me. if he rly cares for you..he'll listen and hopefully stop. good luck and propz for being such a great friend!
