Dear bestest friend,
I can't understand why you got yourself into this but it is NOT the end of the world. You have alot of friends that care about you and want to help especially me.
Do you really want to screw up your head and your life? How are you even going to support your habit? Steal and rot in jail?
There are help lines available and also counselling. You may not realize it now but you are hurting more than yourself. Think of your friends and family but of course you ar my main concern. I am available if you want to talk about ways to find help because at this point you probably don't care.
You know I care,
sign your name

Talk to them, try to find out whats going on in their lives to make them turn to drugs. Talk to them about getting help. If your friend is young, please have the parents involved so your friend can get the help he/she needs. This is very important - it will affect the rest of his/her life. Your friend may hate you at the moment but will be thanking you in the long run - just remember you may help save your friends life. Drugs are very dangerous but there is help for your friend. Best of luck.

This is a tough situation. You can nag your friend as often as you want but it is hard to help someone who does not want to be helped. As much as you probably don't want to back stab your friend but I think you need to consult the friend's parents or school counselor. This way your friend can be enrolled into rehab. It's best to nip it now while you still can. You don't want your friend to waste the life away and may ultimately become a druggie with no future. Good luck!

I would suggest my friend to the nearest drug addiction program nearby... I would try to get my friend out of it, and give them all kinds of facts about it. I would stick to my friend like glue throughout the situation, though. I wouldn't let them leave my sight. :) Good Luck!!

i would find the effects of drugs from the internet and print them out. if you want to help someone, you have to be informed. then,
i would find out why is he doing it. probably he's got a problem and he can't get over it.
after all that, i would talk to his family and friends, they all have to know, s he can be helped, and talk to him, show him what you found on the internet, you can look for people that got out from drugs and ask them to talk to him, noone knows better than them

I was once dating this guy (my first boyfriend, we were both 15) who fell more in love with drugs than with me. I broke up with him but felt "responsible" for him ... I would buy him shirts/socks, etc. As we got older, I would try to help him find a job and other things that people who aren't addicted can easily do for themselves. He promised me time and time again that he would "quit for me." I wanted to believe him. But it wasn't until I was in my early 20s that I finally had to let him go. As we got older, the addiction changed him so much so that I didn't even see a fraction of who he once was. I needed to not be responsible for him, it wasn't fair to me and it was ENABLING him. I told him that I cared about him and wanted good things for him, but that I couldn't have anything to do with him while he was messing with drugs. It was really hard for me, especially when he cried and begged me to still be a part of his life. He SWORE he wouldnt have anything to do with the drugs, for me. I told him that he needed to do it for himself. I couldn't have the responsibility of having ME be the only reason he was "sober." Letting him go was hard for me (maybe thats why they call it "tough love"), and although it took awhile, he seems to have been making POSITIVE steps in the right direction. I fell in love and got married about two years after I told him that he needed to quit and that his addition had cost him me. I finally had let him go and was free to allow myself to love someone ... and I see him sometimes ... he has cleaned himself up, I see him go to church and he seems to be doing well for himself. AND I think he did it for HIMSELF, thats good.

Its hard to know what to say to someone. They get angry when you give them "ultimatums," hurt when you leave them, and may even deny any of what you are saying ... THEY have to WANT to be better in order to be better. It is a personal choice ... but as a friend, I would confront them and tell them what their addiction is doing to them, to you and to those that care about them. It may be hard, but letting that person go may be whats needed.

Good luck.
