I have tried talking to her about it before and all she says is, “I don’t want to talk about that right now. Maybe later,” but later never comes. I’ve gotten her to give me a specific date before for when we will talk and then when that day comes she does the stupid question game such as: “What are you talking about?” “What was I going to tell you?” and “Are you feeling okay?” like I’m the crazy person! It is so annoying. She has never told me anything about it. The only way that I know is by her family calling at two in the morning wondering if I know where she is. Then later they will tell me what happened and she just acts like she has no idea why everyone is so mad. 

I have talked to my parents about this too and they just tell me to talk to her which I have tried. I have also tried talking to her parents and they act concerned for a moment and the next day it is like it never happened. I fear it will take something horrible for then to take note of what is going on in their daughter’s life.. I just hope that it won’t be too late.

Thanx so much for your advice T. I will definitely  look into making  that anonymous call to the drug awareness people or legal authorities. I can’t believe I never thought of that.



I have an underage friend who is making some pretty poor choices in her life. For over a year now she has been sneaking out of her house at night when everybody is asleep, and getting picked up by an older guy that she met online. She does and sells drugs, sleeps around, self-medicates herself for depression (and God only knows where she got those pills), and lies to every single person who has ever cared for her including myself. I know way more about the situation that I care to but the problem is that not too many other people do. I am very good friends with her older sister and I know that she needs to know what is going on but I do not know how to tell her in a way that will make her understand the severity of the situation.  I also do not know how much I should tell her because I do not want to lose this person as a friend but then I do not want to be visiting a friend in a morgue either. I have already tried somewhat talking to her family with no success. They seem to care one moment and then completely forget that the whole thing happened the next day. It is so frustrating. If you have any advice as to what I should do please let me know. At this point any advice would help.
