okay so my friend abi shes normally the responsible one of my group of friends. shes the one who sorts us out and stops us from going over the edge. she sorted me out when i went slightly 'off the rails.'

but anyway. shes started to smoke, okay i know smoking isnt like terrible but its still something i dont want her to do. at first she was just smoking around these new friends she recently aquired, and like it might be peer pressure or something that made her start and i really dotn like these people shes hanging round with. she got a pack of 15 from her friend on sunday and shes already halfway through it. she said shes not going to be addicted because shes got the willpower, but it doesnt matter shes going to be. shes already getting groggy when she doesnt have any for a few days. and then shes going round this guys house who bought her the cigs soon and he smokes weed, and she said that its the same as smoking cigs and that its not worse. ITS ILLEGAL! i dont understand what shes doing and ive tried telling her that she needs to stop but she wont listen to me, she wont listen to any of us.

what do i do!?

Okay personally, I know how you feel, but smoking is a big deal, and something needs to be done. I think a sit down talk is definately needed, and be dead serious, and let her know that you care. Let her know that smoking, is just kinda dumb.

I know my advice is never good, but I hope maybe it is kinda okay?

LauraJonas♥ wrote ive tried telling her she refuses to listen to me she goes on about how shes got the willpower and wont let it take control of her. but you cant stop it :l &shes going to some party soon where people will be bringing stuff far worse then weed and ive got to go to keep track of her, i feel like her mother or something! i was thinking i might try to take her cigs from her and hide them or something but i thought that might be going a bit overboard.

I'm sorry Laura.
I honestly do not know what to say.
I wish I had adivce, but I  have never been put in that postion.
All I can say is, do everything and anything to get her to stop, even if she hates you for it, because in the long run, your helping her, even if you think you are hurting her.

i think that you need to talk to her, just tell her what she is doing to herself, she needs to know how bad and dangerous it is.
but like grace said, she should stop eventually hopefully.

That's terrible for something to happen. I'm Sorry. :( My advice is talk to her one more time, but more seriously with more friends. If she keeps doing it, then you have no choice but to tell an adult. It's for her own good. It'll be tough, but it's the only thing you can do. Good luck! I hope everything will get better! :)
