Question Posted Saturday February 5 2005, 6:56 pm

Hi. I have a problem here. My cousin is really nice and he is friends with my boyfriend and his friends. My boy friend dosent do drugs but some of his friends do. I cant just stop his friends from doing drugs because some of them i dont evan care about. My cousin hangs out with them alot and im sure he dose drugs because i asked some of his friends and they say he dose. They all tell me not to tell anyone. My mom is really good friends with his mom (my aunt). Im not going to tell on him but what should i do to make him stop? I dont want advice that says talk it over with your cousin or just go tell on him cuz thats not what im going to do.

You can't force him to stop, it's his decision. The only way to really force him is to tell on him, but you shouldn't do that because it'd probably make him mad at you and you'd lose his trust. The best you can do is talk to him, but in the end it's his life and if he wants to use drugs he'll do them. It's nice that you're trying to help though, good luck with that hun.

Then how else are you going to help him if you can't talk to him? The first thing you need to know is if your cousin is really doing drugs. You shouldn't believe just what his friends say. Guys want to look cool in front of girls, and to them "doing drugs" makes them "cool". But, honestly find out for sure if your cousin does it. The only way you can is to ask him striaght up, be like "oh so ive heard your doing drugs now? is it true??" After your 100% sure, then you can start thinking of how to help him. You should really be there for him.

Even though you said you didn't want advice like this, I'm going to give it. You need to hear this from your cousin. Although I wouldn't get your mom or aunt involved, yet. But you really do need to talk to him to make sure that all of this is true. If it is, ask him why he's choosing to do drugs, even if he knows they're slowly but surely hurting him. good luck

Well,actually ino it seems like the wrong thing 2 do,but if your cousin fell off his bike and hurt his leg and could'nt get back up and a car was coming,would you just stand there or help him up?thats the same thing with this situation.this is very serious and youre only helping by getting an adult involved...so please,do your cousin a favor and talk 2 your aunt..

I think you should show him a picture of what it can do to you.I tried drugs before but when I went to a Drug Free Rally I saw many pictures about the causes and effects and that changed my whole idea about drugs.I hope I helped.talking to him and showing him you care about his health is really something you should do.GOod Luck!

Well, i dont want to tell you somthing you dont want to hear, but the right thing to do is talk it over with him. Ask your b/f to tell him to stop. Dont tell on him though. If you cant do that then i guess there isnt much to do except for searching his room and if you find drugs then throw it out, but thats invaiding his privacy!

good luck
