ahh! i need major help! =( my friend ashley acts really slutty. shes my best friend though, and i dont act like her but shes a flirt and its terrible! i try to stop it but its so hard. i called her earlier today and she was smoking (for the first time). i just know she was! she wouldnt admit it because she knows i cant stand it but i could tell. (details are too long but i am posetive) im soo scared for her. were 14 year old female freshmen by the way. but anyway, im going fucking insane! because my moms best friend was just like ashley only her name was lori and she was really mean to my mom. ashley isnt mean to me but she has a bad rep and all that. so lori started getting into all the same stuff ashleys getting into around the same ages and yeah. my mom ditched her right when she could tell that she was a loser because she didnt wanna end up like lori. so time went on and lori was smoking, having sex and everything. well, lori got aids and she died. i am so scared for ashley now because all the stories that my mom tells me about lori are extremely similar to the ones about ashley. now i dont wanna over-react, but i have to do something! because if by a small chance she were to die, i would have to live knowing that i could have stopped it. i have no one to talk to. i cant tell my parents, cause they would never let me hangout with her again. no siblings and guidance counselor would tell her parents making me the wimp. maybe i should just talk to her but shes so hard to talk to cuz shes like so dense and is always sure that shes right and she just says over and over again no you dont understand and it goes on and on and on.. im sorry for making this so long, but you were seriously my only hope to figure out what to do. oh yeah she always hangs out w/ like bmx guys and they smoke and i cant fucking stand it! please help me! i dont know what to do! im seriously breaking down here =(
Have you ever thought about what she might be going through? When I was going through hard things and I guess I was depressed you can say, I would want to smoke. She is probablly going through something. If not, she is being stupid. She doesn't relize that she is waisting her life and throwing it away. Drugs, sex? She doesn't need it. Ashley is hanging out with the wrong people, and she obviously forgot who her real friend is. Look, you need to talk to her. Not just tell her that she is acting slutty and that she changed. But have a serious talk with her. Ask her to come over or something and tell her everything you told me. If she gets mad at some of the things tell her that you aren't trying to make her mad or hurt her, but that she is your best friend and you don't want anything bad to happen to her at all! When we are teenagers, it's hard for us to know what is best for us. No one really knows but our parent's and when you talk to her she might think a little weird and that is normal. Let me know how it goes & sorry for Lori. [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]
