Question Posted Wednesday December 22 2010, 10:45 pm
Hello, im 14/f. My bestfriend of like 9 years now smokes ciggarettes, pot, spice, and probably other things. She also drinks alcohol. She does it all with one of our friends, and some guys in like college. they do it in her neighborhood. She always peer pressures me to try a ciggarette or weed, but I always say no. until the other day I tried this rosemary spice stuff that they were smoking. i took a little puff and decided i wouldn't do it again. i am not going to smoke. im really worried about her & i know that shes only doing this to seem cool and impress people. i always help her hide it from her parents and stuff & i don't want to tell on her because she would get in so much trouble. i dont want to tell my parents either because they would instantly tell her parents. i dont like her like this :( what do i do? thanks.

I'm sure you want the best for your friend and I think first you should talk to her and about how these things are very serious in the long run. She may just want to be popular but there are definatley other ways to be. She has become more of a drugee than popular and she will get a name for that. If all talking to her and telling your worried about her doesn't work I would try telling an adult. It will all be better for her if she stops doing all this bad stuff because before you know it these drugs can become different ones and stronger ones. Your a good friend for caring! don't let her screw her life up!! if you have any other questions feel free to ask <3 [ sftball33's advice column | Ask sftball33 A Question ]
