My friend is getting into drugs, what should i do?
hey so i’m 15f and my friend (also 15f) who i’ve been close with since kindergarden smoked week for the first time and now she’s like obsessed and has been wanting to try new drugs and drinks and such. what makes me really concerned is that her older sister was a raging alcoholic and semi-drug addict who just got clean and i know stuff like that can be genetic (addictive genes.) whenever me and another close friend go over she always asks if we can bring weed or alcohol, (just a little background, my other friend and i have smoke and drank before, she’s a fan of smoking but i’m not so much, i only do it with close friends when i want to which is like rarely) i’m just nit sure what to do, like i’d love to have fun drinking with her and my other friend but i just don’t want to enable her by supplying alc or doing stuff with her, what should i do? i’ve tried talking to her about it but she gets defensive and is kinda clueless as to what she’s potentially setting herself up for.
How do i make my friend stop doing drugs?
You can't make your friend stop doing drugs. You can help her to see the light, and attempt to intervine....but she has to have the DESIRE to stop. Same goes with her boyfriend issues. She has to realize things on her own. I know seeing it from the outside it frustrating for you. She's blinded by a false sense of love. Tell her your opinion, which may be uninvited...and if she doesn't agree with you, tell her you love her and don't want to see her hurt in any way, but you may haver to distance yourself from her for a while until she can make good choices for herself. She might respond with anger, but that's expected. Don't overwhelm yourself with something you cannot change. You are not responsible for her.
My friend got slipped a roofie at a party..?
Take her to the hospital immediately. A "roofie" is an overdose usually of a benzodiazepine or similar drug like GHB. Side effects can include respitory failure killing the person given the drug. Benzodiazepines can be reversed so the faster you can get them to the hospital the better.
Should quiet people take drugs?
if they or anyone is trying to alter u they dont have U in their best interest... no u shouldnt take drugs...just to please someone and its not good to take mind altering drugs just to be "cool" or "popular" or to get someone to like u. its not right...can be addictive and later in life u will have wished u hadnt. this guy might be the guy of ur dreams right now but a year from now or so u might think different and a good guy will come along and like you for you and you will discover that this guy isnt all it. trust me..even tho u dont know me... this isnt a good situation. dump them and get friends that really care about u as a person ..that like u for u... and who u are... and u can be urself :) they are not ur friend...especially if they dont want to be around you cuz ur quiet. i was one of those ppl and am thankful now those times i was dropped off. trouble didnt find me those times. at the time i felt left out and not liked but looking back i am happy things were the way they are. good luck :)
I caught my kid smoking weed with friends; do I tell the other parents?
I caught my kid smoking weed with friends; do I tell the other parents?Thanks for the A2A, P. Peckham.It’s a shame you don’t mention the age groups involved, as it does make a difference in my opinion.Kids in middle school…6th 7th even 8th graders - then YES, share it with the parents…these kids are too young to smoke cannabis.Older teens…NO!The high school years are time for experimentation, with tobacco, with alcohol and with cannabis - even coffee is a new introduction to many high school students. High school students start smoking and become addicted to tobacco and parents don’t say that much about it especially if they are also smokers.And like coffee being not appropriate for young kids, neither is cannabis, alcohol or tobacco.Surprisingly, cannabis is not addictive, unlike coffee and tobacco-yet we allow our kids to drink coffee with no reprisals.I was 17 when I first used cannabis…it didn’t turn me into a hard drug junkie and is no longer represented as a gateway drug, like the DARE group claims.You want your child to trust you..reporting older teens to their parents will go a long way to forming distrust of you in your teens eyes.
My parents think i do drugs but i dont?
As a parent myself, I can see why they think your doing drugs. It's because of the friends that you hang out with. But they should also learn to trust you. You are offering to take a drug test for them so they should take you up on that if they truly believe that your doing drugs. They are probably afraid that the test will come back positive. You sound like a good kid. And your parents should be proud of you and should know you you. They're just afraid for you too. They don't want to see anything happen to you. You may have to change who your friends are to and that's not an easy thing since you care about them. I bet it would make them feel more at ease and less afraid. My daughter was hanging around kids who were drinking and drugging. And their mother was providing these things to them. I was simply terrified. Kayla didn't do any drugs with them but every time she went over to this awful home I called the police to get her back ( there's more to it then that but it's a long story. I'm telling you the short cut way. ) Anyway talk to your parents again and again. And do what you know is right. Good Luck to you!!!!!!
