Drugs and People Don't Mix Options

[*Kathleen*]

Mmm okay. I have a dear friend that has always smoked cigarettes and occasionally pot. Recently, they've tried cocaine recently...and I'm...scared...what would you do? I mean, we've talked and whatnot, but I just don't know what to do. Gah. I hate drugs. With a flaming passion.

Report him to the DEA. Their snipers are pretty good.

hmm...if it was me, i would talk to them,and maybe do some research online,and show them what u have found. hmm..or maybe you can scare him/her and tell them your gonna tell if they dont stop.....and if none of that helps,well then i would just tell a councelor/adult.

[sheddingtears]

tell them they're gonna die early and you won't go to their funeral.




do that or just convince them that drugs don't make them look cool and that they affect their healths completely.

[dafunnybunny]

you have to talk to that person. for some reason it reminds me of one of those anti-drug commercials where the girl writes a note and gives it to her friend or whatever.

[inthemudhole]

Talk to them.. it wouldn't hurt to tell their parents if they don't listen to you.

[Shattered_Hope]

talk to yur friend.

[HaN4RaNg]

lol, u guys r funny.
yeah i have a friend too that does/supplies drugs and i hate that. shes going to die and i remind her everyday and all she can do is say "i know". it doesnt mean cr4p to me when she doesnt show it by her actions. try hanging out with ur friend a lot. go to the movies, mall, just hang out with them and keep their mind of drugs. sorry, thats the best advice i got
goodness, whatever happened to the DARE program?!

holy god.... You really can't tell a person what to DO with THEIR drug problem...that's just the way this stuff works. If you try to talk to them and they don't listen, let them figure it out for themself until it become life threatening. then tell on them and send their ass to rehab....

[Just_Dream]

It's good that you want them to stop. Tell them that it's bad for them. They probably know that anyway, but tell them that you care for their well-being. Ask them why they chose to take drugs. There is NO good reason to take drugs, unless it's for medical reasons. I mean, maybe you should talk to their parents, but then maybe you shouldn't. You friends might hate you forever, if you talk to their parents. Try to get them to talk to a psychiatrist. They need help. You friends might be going through depression, who knows. As them how you can make them quit. Don't rush them, take it one step at a time.

what a great way of being a friend... things like that shouldnt b taken so lightly especially if its something that can become life threatening. to say "u do what u want, u'll learn eventually" is basically saying "just wait till u get lung cancer u idiot". is that a way a friend should really b supporting the other?

I would do this.

If I found out they were doing drugs I would bash into their little reefer party and grabs my friend by his puny little neck, drag him outside and give him one of those sam jackson stares. I would say something like: "You think you're kool right? You're an addict. Lemme tell you something man, if you think this is the easy way out of life, then you have another thing coming. Either you quit right now, or end up dead before the night is over, and not because of the pot." If that didn't work, I'd probably have to beat the sense into them, because the forward approach always has it's ups. Then when I left their limp bodies there I'd call the cops.

Maybe that seems a bit rough, but i do hate drugs, with a passion.

[HaN4RaNg]

^ ahahaha~ i like the way u think, i'd do the same xD

[simplyannoy]

try talking to them. I know what you mean... I have 2 friends that does the similar thing (smoking) I told them and they know the consequences but yet they still do it because of stress. Try finding out why they are doing the things they are doing now, it will help you understand better about them and perhaps you can help them in a healthier way.

[aznplayaz]

stick cigarattes in his nose and show him a picture of a guys body who has smoked for a couple years and say that could be you in ____years

Telling a counselor or adult is helping him.

[xTINAA]

I have the same problem with my friends doing drugs but I've only come across two that started cocaine.

What I did was talk to them. I just let him know that I cared and that I didn't want him to get hurt because I knew doing that drug would hurt him. You just have to express how much you really care for them and how them taking that drug not only hurts them but other people around them. I don't know but I just had to talk to them.

If that doesn't work I'd suggest telling a counselor or some other adult about their problem. I would say do it anonymously though (or ask the adult you tell to keep your name confidential) otherwise it could really ruin the friendship. I'm sure the last thing you want to do is push them away.

In case nobody realized, this was asked over a year ago. I'm sure by now she has worked out her problem with her friend. If any mod feels a need to reopen this, please do so.
