Question Posted Tuesday July 18 2006, 3:12 am

ok i have friends of mine that i grew up with and knew my entire life they soo sweet and innocent and everything and they were my best friends.. but now they are doing stuff that they would normally not do like one smokes pot now which is not like her.. and another one of my friends that i grew up with is not her self she drinks now to the point that she vomits and thats also not like her and all of this just recently started like a week before school ended.. i dont know what to do i thought that i would be friends wit them forever but i guess not.. and i use to chill wit them a lot but now we just act like strangers i still talk to one of them but the other one were not even really friends n e more. also this makes it harder because the one that smokes doesnt know i know she smokes so what should i do?

Tell the one that smokes that you know her secret. Sit both of your friends down and tell them that they are ruining their lives and not acting anything like themselves. Remind them of the dangers of what they are doing. Make it clear to them that you're not interested in doing what they are doing and the harm that they are doing to themselves could destroy your friednships forever. I think that may get them to realize what they are doing is wrong and they may loose you if they don't stop their destructive decisions.

something is definetly wrong,shes going through a very hard time and obviously SOMETHING made her do all of this,she wouldnt do it for no reason,something must be depressing them.you need to talk to them and ask them whats happened and convince them that what they are doing to themselves is total suicide,find out whats bothering them and tell them drugs and alcohol will not solve their problems itll only make things worse.ask them whats been hapening and why they did this and tell them how much they mean to you and you dont want to lose them.if they are mean and dont stop dont hang out with them anymore cuz they can influence you to do something bad.good luck :)

Sometimes people change for the better and for the worse. You cant stop it you know? But the things they're doing are wrong. They used to be your best friends, So you should talk to them about it.

Let the one who smokes know you know. Tell her that what shes doing is wrong and it can really hurt her. Make sure she knows your trying to be a good friend and warn her, and that you cant stop her from doing it but you wish she would listen to you and stop.

The one that drinks, tell her she cant get alcohol poisoning and die if she keeps drinking that much. Puking everytime she drinks is really bad, and it can affect her in the future too. Not to mention it also kills brain cells. Let her know you were best friends and your looking out for her.

You cant make them stop, but if they see how much they mean to you, and that you want whats best for them, they might try to change a little bit.

Good Luck

this is definately a teenage thing. when you start school, you make friends. elem, ms, hs, etc. the huge difference between elem/ms and hs is the way you see your friends. most of them change. what i've learned is by the time you're in 11th grade, which im going into this year, you have a close group of friends that you'll stay friends with through hs & some even college. what i mean is in elem/ms you have a huge group of friends & then it eventually gets smaller into a close few. i learned that its much better this way. if you still want to remain friends with them (which could be bad depending on their smoking/drugs habits) you have to talk to them about it & confront them. if you don't do that, there's no way you'll stay friends. even if they seemed close to you before, this stuff happens a lot between teenagers & there's not much anyone can really fix about it.

-hope that helped!♥
