so i need advice...
so, there is this guy i know. We have become friends over the year and now we've grown closer. Everything is all great except for the fact he is into drugs and he gets high every weekend and i tell him he is addicted but he doesn't listen, he's so blind he can't see that he is addicted. i feel as though i can't tell anyone besides close friends because he made me swear i wouldn't tell anyone. and if i go tell his parents or my own, he would hate me forever. but i really want him to get clean and stop wrecking his life. He thinks that smoking pot doesn't affect you in any way. but i think it does. How can i get or influence him to stop?

Dear so I need advice,
This situation is a toughy. Obviously theres something going on at the house, because a lot of pot smokers or alcoholics do all that stuff because they feel its the only way to relieve their pain. I have a friend whos dad makes her miserable all the time. Before she used to cut herself but now that she found a friend with the same problem shes doing what he does with the situation and thats to get high. Another girl had smoked weed over 100 times and has failed the 7th grade multiples of times, but now is in the 8th grade. She has failed many of her classes and is in the 3rd term. The only way that she got through it was with the help of her true friends. You are probably that guys only true "non-smoking" friend right? Well, he depends on you even if he doesnt show it. He will later find out in life that smoking weed is not the anwser, but to rely on his friends for support. Maybe ask him to go out and chill with you and a couple of friends on the weekend that way he wont be near the pot and it will get his mind off of it. In this type of situation it should be hard to stand back and watch him slowly throw his life away, but to reverse that you need to be there for him. Maybe go on the internet and print out some stories and advice on smoking pot and how its bad for you. Maybe seeing what hes doing on an outside view will give him that look on whats really going on every time he takes a puff. Dont give up on being his friend, but instead you want to keep that friendsip close, because he will soon relize that pot is not the way.
