Drugs.


Question Posted Monday July 10 2006, 3:59 pm

My friend is doing drugs a lot. She smokes weed every day and does ecstacy a few times a week. I have talked to her about it a lot, and she's not going to change. I don't know if I should tell her mom or do something else. So what should I do?

You can't talk to a drug user. That drug is way more important than you are. Talk to her mom. If that doesn't work, then like someone said before me...keep telling people until someone listens.
Better a friend who is mad at you then a dead one. Right? Go tell someone. :)

if you tell her mom you could completely lose your friends trust, and the friendship would never be the same. if you think its in such a horrible possision that you have to then, then go ahead. weed wont kill her, but if shes doing ecstacy that much, it can be really bad, i know someone who got addictied and he has 3 holes in his brain now. ithink you need to seriosuly talk to her, and dont just tell her "you need to stop" but just hear what she has to say, and do whatever you think is right, sorry thats the best i can tell you

Dear Drugs,
I think that drugs are really bad especially if someone you love is doing it. They are bad for you and can really hurt you. I think you should approach your friend by just talking to her and ttelling her what drugs can do to you. But at all costs if she asks you to do them do not say yes because then you will sink down to her level and there will be no one to tell you that you should stop. You just need to tell her that they are really bad for you and that they can kill her is she doees them alot and tht you do not want to lose a friend that is sch as good as her and because ou might if she does drugs alot. Maybe she will understand but if she doeesnt you still need to talk to her because she can not live her life like this. Good Luck!!

<3 Alli

Well, shes not going to quit unless shes willing to quit so you cant really make her.But you could mention it to her mom because maybe her mom could try and convince her better than you've been trying to do.That way she could get help so it doesnt get too outta hand.

Tell her mom, if it keeps up, tell her mom again; if it still persists tell the school(guidence councilers and what not). Finally find the dealer and call the cops and tell them about it.

i really think you have to talk to someone. yeah she most likely will get mad at you but its the best for you because if she is doing all of these drugs like every single day it could possibly kill her soon or a later. if you tell her mom then she can talk to like a doctor or someone who can help her with her problems. cause she cant stop it she enjoys it too much and you dont want her to keep doing it you have to try to talk to her mom or something.

as painfull as it will be i think you SHOULD tell her mom.well the results will be that she aint gonna talk to you for a while but at least you did your job as a freind and helped her out. tell her mom to let her see a doc that can help her on that.and its better to have your freind mad at you for a couple of months(
cuz you told her mom) than to never be able to see her again(due to drugs)

You should tell her mom. I know It will be hard but that's the best way you can help her get through this. She might be mad at first but she will forgive you once it's all over and will respect your choice. That's the best thing you could do for her. Good luck, I hope everything works out!

This kind of stuff can kill you so if you want your friend to live i would definatly tell someone it may seem like shes mad at you at first and that you're invading her private life but in the end she'll realize it was to help you because it really will help her in the end even if she doesnt think so at first!

i know that you have talked to your friend but talk to her again. tell her that she is scaring you and that you care about her and want her to stop. if you prob have done that before then try it again and tell her how much you mean to her. secondly YES you should tell her mom. she can die. cancer or anything. she needs help and if you cant get through her i bet her mom can that way she can sign her up for one of those camps to get people to stop quiting. try buying your friend some patches and just ask her to use them for just a little bit but make sure you tell her mom. thats her daughter and i would want to know what would be going on with my daughter too. talk to her and see if she can talk to her. i hope everything changes and she quits. you should get some of the most people who care about her like family friends and you and you all get together and talk to her and ask her to stop and each one of you tell her how much they love her and how much they love her. try that and see if it does any good. Good Luck!!

openthefridge answered Monday July 10 2006, 6:36 pm:
I think you need to try to talk to her again. Both of those drugs can be dangerous, especially ecstasy, and she get involved in a dangerous situation, or she could OD.
If she wont listen to you, tell your parents, and ask them what they think you should do...and then go with your parents to talk to your friends parents.
She may feel like you are all ganging up on her, but she will thank you one day.
You are a true friend for caring :)
good luck!

Keosha answered Monday July 10 2006, 6:28 pm:
Try again, and if she doesnt listen to you, go and talk to someone, a therapist or a parent or a family friend and let someone know, because drugs are dangerous and she could be risking life or death.

just_ask_me answered Monday July 10 2006, 6:27 pm:
First off, talk to her AGAIN. Believe me, ecstasy is way more dangerous than weed. She could take it a million times, but then one time it could kill her. Let her know this is serious and if she does not change, you will tell her. If your friend argues and yells, resist the temptation to just let it go. Tell her she needs to stop for her own benefit and make sure she knows you love her and care about her. She will be angry at you for awhile, but later on she'll thank you for her life.

oh dang... if it was just weed then there wouldn't be a huge problem but ecstacy... you should probably tell her parents. she might hate you forever but that stuff will do things to her. theres nothing else you can do really. <3

You really do need to tell her mum. Ecstacy is no joke.
Your friend might not appreciate you going behind her back and telling her 'rents, but in the end, it's her who will benefit. You could be saving her life.
