I have a friend who's only 11 and she's tried speed, but she is asking me for help to quit. she can't go to re-hab or anything, because she was already suspended from school for sumthin she didnt do, so now she's back, and she's been having a lot of crap at home, and she can't tell her parents, cuz they, like, hate her. is there any advice I can give her that doesnt include counseling or re-hab?

Meth is the most destructive drug ever. Bar none. If she is asking for help to stop, she is already in deep trouble.
If she feels she cannot stop on her own, then she should talk to a responsible adult. Maybe your mother, maybe not, I don't know your mother. A clerical person, priest, minister, rabbi, whatever.
From my point of view, I would like to know who is supplying this poison to her. I would guess it is from a parent or a friend of her parents. Whomever it is needs to be stopped. A person who sells or gives Meth to a child really needs to be punished. Make sure she gets help. A teacher might help. Good luck. Do your best.

wow...u seem like a really good friend to have! tell yr mom wuts going on and see if she can stay at yr house for a little while so she can get away from her parents. But in order for her to stop or not do it again...she has to really want to do it for herself cuz if she doesnt really want to stop then it will be really hard. But any way, the most you could do as a friend would be to just talk to yr parents about what is going on and then you could sit down with her and have a talk with her what you think she should do. But no matter what, as her friend u need to be there for her every step of the way.

I doubt her parents hate her, its just how she percieves things as she doesnt like that they try to do whats best for her.
You need to talk to an adult about this. Speed isnt something to mess around with. Take it from me, I was an addict from the age of 8 (an adult relative got me hooked and kept me supplied) I didnt quit until I was 21 and Im lucky to have lived that long. talk to an adult NOW please...if you truely care for her. She needs more help than a friend can give.

First of all, her parents don't hate her. That is something stupid kids say because they are trying to get out of trouble. And as for her problems at home, they are because she is doing things she is not supposed to and her parents are trying to discipline her and she is being bad. And she most likely did something to get herself suspended. She just lied to you. That is what kids on DRUGS do. I know you are young and don't have enough life experience to know this.
There is nothing you can do for her that does not involve rehab and her parents. If you do not tell her parents or tell yours and have them tell hers, your friend is going to end up dead or being sold on the street to men. Addiction is not something you can stop without help. It takes rehab and sometimes takes more than one stay in a rehab. And she needs her parents to know what is really going on with her.
If you are scared, write an anonymous (that means don't put your name on it) letter to her parents and leave it in their mailbox.

I learned to never keep it a secret. She might dislike you for a while, but in the long-run, she will love you and thank you for all that you did to help her get through. She needs the help and keeping it to yourself is going to cause a bigger problem!♥ TELL!

those are the only things that will help, unfortunately. she is so young and to already have tried such a serious drug suggests that she doesn't really have much of a support group in her family. you can't help her if she won't help herself, sweetie. good luck to you and your friend

Polina, you have to tell Mrs. Mercaldi or Mr. Mannus the school counselors there is no way around it she, I know who, needs help and whether she likes it or not you have to do it for her own safety.

u will do him life's biggest favour, if u can tell his parents, without disclosing your name.
he might nto know, but u will be his angel.
obviously this kid has no control, and will just go downhill from here. Be a saviour.
god bless
