My sis is 16 and we live in foster care together my brother is 17 and was emancipated. I'm worried my family is on drugs. We just went into foster care a week ago and I found drugs in my sisters purse also a lighter. I can't tell my mom she is in the hospital and if I tell my foster mom we will be seperated. my sister has gotten drinking tickets b4 I told my brother about my find but now i think he is also doing drugs. I don't want to hurt them... i think my cousin 15 and his friend may a;lso be involved please help

It will do your sister no good if you "protect" her and she dies from a drug overdose. Tell someone so she can get some help.

I'm sorry that you have to make this decision. This one would be hard no matter what your age.
My advice is to tell. Every time I had a bad thing that I thought I could keep under quiet and control when I was young, it ended up not staying quiet and under control.
Tell your foster mom. You aren't able to do anything about it, and the more you're around it the more you're at risk.
I'm sorry.

Be direct, ask them both. If they are doing drugs, someone needs to know now, maybe they can get some help to get off drugs. This is called tough love, you love them and you want them to get help, so you might have to step up and let the adult in charge know what is going on. They may not like you now, but they will later when they learn that drugs are bad for them and you help them get clean. Good Luck.

why dont you confront your sister and your brother and your cousin and whoever you think is involoved and talk to them and maybe try to take the risk of talking to your foster mom maybe your sisiter can get counciling or some kind of help or contact police although you'll feel like your doing something bad your really helping because drugs could kill her
and don't do drugs PLEASE DON'T

wouldn't you rather tell your foster mom or someone who you know will do something to help them and be seperated rather than they die from an overdose??? I'm not trying to be cruel but think about it, seperated for a short period or seperated for life because one or both of them Over Doses???

You have to tell SOMEbody, even if it seperates you for a while. You can't take care of this one yourself. It's obvious you love them all, so just do what needs done and tell.

I am terribly sorry about your trouble but the best thing is to do is talk to your sister or brother but the best thing would be to talk to the police. I am really sorry about your family situation

confront them and tell them the reason you are confronting them is because you care and you don't want to be split up
