my friend is 16 and has been doing drugs for 2 years. meth, coke, lsd, tonnnns of alcohol and her and her friends new thing is triple c. monday night i hung out with her and her friends and my friend overdosed i think becuase i've never seen anyone act like that on anything. her friends did not give a sh*t so i told her to come crash with me. i've been trying to help her the past few years, but i think monday night/tuesday morning (it was 5 am) i finally got her to realize sher is crashing and burning. she told me she doesn't want this life anymore but she doesnt know what to do.
i told her when i crashed a year ago i figured it out on my own .she doesnt want to lsoe her "Friends" her mom can't help suppsoivly. i was going to talk to a social worker who knew about this stuff but my friend said no she wants to do it on her own. is she on the right track? she told me 4 mnths ago and was too scared to like stop and let go though,.what should i do to help her? just be there for her?

Get her to a drug counseling center

Your friend doesn't know how lucky she is to have a friend like you. Go the the counselling session with her if you can.
Once she realizes what a waste of money drugs are and how all "drug friends" don't give a **** except where the next high is coming from she will begin to see the light.
Good Luck!

reassure her that if these junkie friends are letting her overdose, they never really cared about her in the first place. tell her it's hard, but if she really wants to change her life for the better, she's gotta get rid of them.
i think she's on the right track as long as she has expressed to you that she wants to stop. i think she also needs professional help - maybe look into a rehab center where she can meet people like herself who want to stop using and they can form a support system to keep each other from using again.

Your friend is a minor and unless her mother is incapacitated she is the only one that can legally be responsible for her.
You can certainly get information from a drug counseling center in the meantime so that you can give her mother the information that all of you will need to help your friend. Good luck

You should tell her how you wish you had help ....everyone is different your a rare case to get over it on your own takes a lot... You should tell her mother yourself ...shes to young to just figure it out herself...she obviously cant...she needs real help..if you tell and she gets upset , dont worry about it shell thank you in the long run....but you cant be around that stuff either, theres only so much you can do for people

Be the friend. Tell her your experience and she can maybe get a clue as to what to do from there. If you went to talk to a counsellor, tell her to do the same. I don't know if you have Teen Touch but they were pretty good to me at your age.
Good Luck to both of you
