All my best friends have gotten into weed. I'm not like that, so I've shifted to a new group of friends. Now one of my other good friends, who doesn't do weed, all of her "group" is into it too.
She so scared, and she pretty much has no friends now cause she's not into that stuff and they hate her now cause she isn't doing it too.
I'm her friend, but theyre in her classes and I'm not. How do I help her get thru this. She's starting to show symptoms of depression from this too.

x3candiigrl answered Sunday August 13 2006, 10:38 pm: uhm.. i dont wanna sound like really mean. but she should get over it. They are obviously not true friends. and if theyre ditching her because shes actually SMART and doesnt do that stupid stuff, then she should find people who are better... like you.
If they`re ditching her, why dont you try to get her to hang out with your new group of friends. you became friends wit them when your friends did pot. so cant you include her? school is only 6 - 7 hours. theres 18 hours left of the day. invite her over and hang out ya know?
PrincezPeach08 answered Sunday August 13 2006, 10:35 pm: This situation is not as tough as it seems. Although she's not in your classes, try hanging out with her as much as possible(if you want). For example at lunch, or free periods maybe? Also, you should try hanging out with her outside of school so that she feels like she has at least one true friend. And THAt is one more reason for her not to be depressed. Do you like shopping? Does she? If yes, then you two should go! I know this may sound materialistic but shopping or even just giving yourself a makeover can make anyone feel better. It's true! How about inviting her to hang out with your group of friends. Maybe that could work. But above all of that, tell her that you'll always be there for her, and make sure that she knows that. At night, or whenever just call her and talk to her. Maybe even by AIM or MSN. As long as you let her know that you care about her and you want to help her, I think that she'll get through this alright. And forget about those idiots smoking weed. Whatever they say doesn't count for anything at all. For whatever reason they started smoking it, it's not right, and that means that they probably have some problems themselves. So tell her to ignore whatever they say, and just hang out with her so that she doesn't feel alone. Hope I helped! And remember always be optimistic and never take what negative things others say too seriously. Good Luck with everything!

Try to be there for her, and try to tie some of the loose ends with your friends who do do that. make sure they know WHY she didnt' do that.
