cousin
My cousin/best friend is basically giving up on life. I had her join an after school activity with me but then she quit. Then she said shes just gonna stop working well in school and not worry about anything anymore. This is basically because of her peers and family. People think shes a pothead, and i siad "well maybe because you put on your myspace you smoke pot when you really dont" and her sister tells her shes a screw up and doesnt deserve to be on this planet. What can I do to help my cousin out and turn her back to normal and if not better?

Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
no one should give up on life! you are put here for a reason and no one is a screw up no matter what anyone says she's not. you just need to make her feel wanted. go through old scrap books or photo albums and show her all the good times ya'll use to have. as well as that help her realize that she should focus on school because without and education you wont get very far in life. and if she is smoking pot then help her get help that what you are ther for is to look out for each other! just help her the best way that you can she need you right now. and you never turn your back on family they need you and it's obvious that she needs you. good luck i hope that things work out for you.=)

umm your cousin should see a pshychiatrist(sp) A proffesional would probably do much better than a random person. My advice to you is dont use anyone else's advice because it might just make things worse. But thats just me. And she really should get rid of the part of her myspace that says she smokes pot. She actally did some of this to herself by puttingg that there. And sisters will be sisters, teres not much you can do about her but you can try to make her be nicer. hope i helped!

take her to a theme park or something, or do something you used to do together when you were younger. try to make her laugh, etc.

Please tell your cousin/friend that there are lots of individual who has a heavier load that her. imagine those people who are tied & bound to be on a wheelchair forever, those who are fighting for thier lives due to incurable illness.
Just remember that whatever God gives you to lift, he gives you the grace to carry it.
Dont let those paranoids dampen her spirit and life.
For you, just be a good friend to her, make her feel that she's special to you and that you're always there for her no matter what.

If she is a pothead then she needs help.
