Azula agony auntIf you tried everything as you have said. You already have your full. Leave that as a family matter. Get rid of her. It might not be a good thing to hear but its a good thing to do.

Go on with your life. She must be in the caring arms of her family. They already know what's good for her. Let go and go on with yours.

TELLULAH agony auntHi,

She sounds like she has gone on a self destruct mission. There will always be a problem at the back of this somewhere, it could be her parents.

Telling her she will die, and all the other stuff you are saying wont help, believe me I know. Its a very hard and complex situation, because the likelihood of her seeing that you are trying to help will go straight over her head, as you have discovered.

Please dont give up on her though, because when she comes down, which she will with a bump, she will need you. Do you have a tutor that you could talk to and trust?. Telling her parents could back-fire, because she resent you, but if all else fails you might have too.

One day she will thank her lucky stars that she had a mate like you.

Good luck X

jaime90 agony auntin my experience, telling someone they are doing the wrong thing and they have to stop doesn't work at all, as long as they want to keep doing it they will.

Azula agony auntUhmmm... Let's see. I think she is already absorbed by it and she also have absorbed the thing. It's a little risky but make her regret everything. I think simple talks would not do that much. Most importantly, if you feel being responsible for her because you are her best friend. The way you describe it, the best thing you can do now is to let her parents know what she is suffering from. Blinded by the pleasure and pressure of others and lost in the dark. The parents can take it from there.

I've had this problem recently with a very close friend, although i wouldn't say we're close friends now.

It seems that she's doing this to fit in with the crowd. Maybe she feels like an outsider and needs the drugs ect to prove herself.

I know this situation all so so well, and i must say smoking weed at age 13 is really bad. What i did was;

I had it out with my friend through MSN messenger. I told her how i felt. This shows that you care about her.

She'll soon get bored of the drugs and sex, novilty will wear off, trust me. I'd focus on your relationships with other friends as things may not be the same with this friend, its always good to have a back up.....

It may seem like you've lost your friend, but she's still the same person.

A female reader, Emilysanswers United Kingdom +, writes (9 July 2009):

Have you tried finding out WHY she wants to do all this?

Does she think this is the only way she can feel good about herself?

Is she doing this to avoid problems at home?

Most of the time when people act like this it's because she WANTS to hurt herself and feels she deserves it. So telling her it's bad won't help.

Talk to her, arrange to do fun stuff just the 2 of you.

Good Luck!! xx
