writes:I'm really worried about my friend. Only a few hours ago she told me she tried weed over the summer. She told me that it was no big deal, it was only once, and that she didn't even like it. But it is a big deal! At least to me. Drugs aren't a game. I'm scared for her. It's made me wonder what else she's willing to try. She's already had a cutting problem and past suicidal issues (no real attempts, but there have been "goodbye" notes that haven't been acted on), and I don't want to see her get into any trouble. I can't talk to her about it, though, because we had a big fight over the summer (about something unrelated), and we're still recovering. I don't think I can squeal on her, either. I'm just really scared right now. I don't know what to do. I know what I should do, which is tell somebody, but I don't want to ruin our friendship. She may have had her problems, but she's a good friend. If any of this jumble has made sense to you, please help!!!

 trying something once usually isn't a big deal, it's the second time that you have to worry. i've tried smoking and i found out i really did not like it and i have absolutely no plans to do it again. and hey, i turned out okay!that being said, you and your friend are pretty young and it sounds like she is in trouble. not so much for trying something illegal once, but as a package. cutting and suicidal thoughts are not normal and i definitely think you should try having her talk to a counselor. if she does not agree to open up to an adult, you need to be a good friend and step in and tell someone yourself.you seem to have a good head on your shoulders, i am sure you will do the right thing.
