My Childhood Friend is Addicted to Drugs and Ciggs.?

Question

I knew this friend since 3rd grade and we are now juniors in HS. All she wants to talk about now is getting high and she constantly uses me so she could get drugs and hook up with strangers. It's irritating. Recently, we had plans to see a movie that I really wanted to see, but she canceled last minute, just so she could smoke pot with her other friends. The sad thing is, she's watching her other friends ruin their lives and decides that it's all just fun and games and joins in. I'm worried about her, but I find that the more I hang out with her, the more she tries to get me to join her. I can't even have a conversation with her anymore. Today was my B-day celebration, and she didn't even come. She tried to make it up to me, but I'm just done. I feel terrible about leaving her to ruin her life, but I just can't deal with it anymore. Am I doing the right thing? Or should I stick by her, even if it means that I could get in trouble for something I didn't even do.

Answer 1

You r doing the right thing..your friend is trying to get you high to which good friends don't do..she has to realize what she's doing wrong herself..you can't change people you can only tell them to.So no matter how hard you try...she needs to hit rock bottom to realize the life she's living is not right for her

Answer 2

Convince her to enter rehab center, i guess that the greatest thing you can do for your friend.

Answer 3

No you need to step away before you get sucked into the same scene. You may think you won't but peer pressure may get to you. Save her? You cant get her to change until she is ready to change. When she needs you, I mean really needs you give her your support. Till then take care of yourself.
