Question Posted Saturday November 17 2007, 1:46 pm
Me and my close friend just had this convosation on MSN:
i said
pete sounded stoned lol
she said
we was gna get stoned but dan didnt have a grinder and sam completley fucked up the joint
Now, I am COMPLETELY againest drugs.
Should i talk to her?
And if i should, what kind of things could i say?
I'm really not good at that sort of thing.
You just bring a conversation casually. "I didn't know you were going to get stoned... " and that may take you somewhere. Maybe she was going to get stoned and that was her first time, or maybe it wans't. You could ask questions like "How long were you doing it?" and "Why were you doing it?"
Then you could tell her how you feel about her trying to get into drugs. It's really hard to change someone's mind about it. I've been through this long enough to realize that people aren't easily going to give up or agree with what you say. Talking to them all the time about it won't help the situation either. But if she's a close friend then she would be willing to listen and consider what you are saying. You shouldn't let a friendship go because she's doing drugs. Most people do that and it doesn't help in any way.
Just be there for her and tell her how you feel. You could even tell her what happens to your body while doing that. I'm sure she will listen to what you have to say. But don't make her seem like the bad person. Sadly not everyone is against drugs. So many people try to prove that drugs are good and stuff.

But don't expect to change her, besides it's her body she is fucking up not yours. [ dirrty-dani's advice column | Ask dirrty-dani A Question ]

THE NEXT TIME YOU TALK TO HER AND SHE'S TALKING ABOUT DRUGS OR WHATEVERR YOU SHOULD JUST BE LIKE OH SWEET IDC REALLY I'M NOT INTO THE WHOLE DRUG THING AND SHE'll REALIZE YOU DON'T LIKE DRUGS AND SHE WON'T TALK ABOUT TO YOU. AND MAYBE YOU COULD CONVINCE HER TO STOP . BE LIKE WHY DO YOU DO IT ANYWAY. AND SEE WHAT SHE SAYS WE'LL GOOD LUCK HOPEFULLY I HELPED A LITTLE.
