Answer 13

Talk to their parents. At the most I smoked 2 packs in my entire life and it has been over 20 years and I still have trouble with my lungs and breathing and it all goes back to smoking only 2 packs ever.

Answer 14

About the only thing you can do is talk to the parents and let them know what is going on.  It's their problem to take care of then.  You will have done your part.  I am proud of you for wanting to do something about this.

Answer 15

Well, This not good at this age. Even at any age, but specially at this age. You can't do much about your friend. Maybe suggest her not to do it. But it is up to her. But the best thing is let her mom know bout  it.

Answer 16

Let 'em do it. See if they like it. I smoked weed and cigarettes and i drank all when i was 13 and I'm fine now.

Answer 17

Your friend's niece.   So, this is the child of the sister or brother of your friend or her husband -- somewhat removed from you.   You have no authority in this matter, and very limited influence.  The only influence you have is the degree to which the girl is influenced by your conversations with her.   It's not clear if you even have contact information for the child's parents.

If you push hard, you might be able to get this information to the child's parents.    You might be able to make a report to the police in the area where the crime occurred, providing the name of the person who supplied alcohol and tobacco to minors, and the name of the minors who consumed the alcohol and tobacco.   However, this will address only that one incident.  You really have no significant influence or authority to affect the overall problem, which is that the 12 and 13 year old are engaging in risky behavior, so an important question that you might want to consider is whether your intervention in this one instance will have any overall positive effect.

Another way to address this is to have a "talk" with the young lady regarding her risky behavior.  You might also mention that when a guy offers pot to a young lady, he often wants something in return, which leads to another "talk" about date rape and teen pregnancy.

So, how involved do you want to become in this young lady's life?   It's a disturbing situation, and I hate to say it, but it happens all the time.  If the parent's aren't going to do anything to provide guidance to the child, you are probably going to be swimming upstream to try to help her at this point.  About the best you can realistically do is talk frankly to her about your concerns, and many people in your situation would simply choose to stay out of it, assessing their own chances of accomplishing anything productive to be very low.

Answer 18

Pretend that you want to do it too and go with them and arrest the people responcible

Answer 19

tell then to stop and if they dont stop dont hang with then

Answer 20

You need to inform their parents, first of all.  If the parents don't intervene, you can contact the local authorities or CPS and let them handle it.  This is something you definitely need to speak up about!  Their 'blood' is now on YOUR hands, so to speak.  Don't sit back and say it's none of your business, because they could get into something far worse and YOU will have to live the rest of your life knowing you could've done something to prevent it and didn't.  

I had a friend who smoked pot for the first time...it was laced with embalming fluid (that stuff they pump into DEAD people!!)...he DIED.  He was under a house, he worked as a central air/heat contractor, he had a stroke and DIED right there!  Do something before it's too late!!

If you can't get the parents to stop it, keep climbing the ladder until you find someone who WILL do something!  Give it your all!  You'd want someone to do the same for yours!

God bless ya, Darlin'!

Answer 21

Tell their mom right away. That guy could be a child molester, that is the method of operation. They get them high and the pounce. They are in danger, if you don't tell and something happens how are you going to feel.

Answer 22

I am with the first answer you received "stay away from them".  God Bless.

Answer 23

Well, the only thing you can do is tell someone's parents before they get caught and end up in jail.

Answer 24

sound like they needs a good whooping to me

Answer 25

If you really care about the kids, call CPS.

Answer 26

bust the drug dealers
