Secondly, it's wonderful that you see the dangers of using drugs and have chosen to stay away from that lifestyle. I have also seen what drug use can do to people. It permeates every aspect of their lives, making it difficult to hold on to jobs and relationships. Some drugs are so highly addictive that consuming more is all that becomes important to the user. Now, having said all this and as for telling on someone you know who is using drugs, I have to be honest and say tread very lightly here. Take a real inner look at your true motivation before doing it. Is the friend smoking pot or is she a severely addicted crackhead? You may not approve of her behavior, but as long as she's not in immediate danger of overdosing I'd keep her drug use from her parents, etc. You'll be labeled the snitch and that's not a good place to be (as you have already found out). My suggestion would be to stay away from her. She may be your "friend" but you neither approve nor partake in her habits. Try to hang out with kids that aren't using drugs. Hope some of this advice helps! Good luck! [ marinemom24's advice column | Ask marinemom24 A Question ]
