I am a typical white girl with good grades, a good family, and some friends. I do cross country. Another girl on my team is Mexican. She has a single mom and is doing okay in school. She's in avid but she doesn't care about school a lot. Recently she got suspended for 3 days. I only found out yesterday that it was because she was caught with drugs in her backpack. Now I knew she was hanging out with people who did drugs but she always denied doing anything. She seemed like she cared a lot about cross country and doing well in it because she's varsity. She would joke about doing drugs sometimes but I never really thought she would actually do them. The she told me she got suspended and I started thinking maybe it was because she was hanging out in the school bathroom and smoking with some of her friends. It's complicated why I thought that but it made sense. But she wasn't telling me why she was suspended and I was like okay that's fine if she wants to keep it private I'm not going to push her to tell me. And then she was in class on Friday but not at practice that afternoon and I overheard that she was in the office. I was like okay that's weird maybe they're just checking up on her because of her suspension or something. She never showed up that day for practice. Then on Saturday we had a really important workout that my coach really didn't want varsity to miss, but she didn't show up. I was getting really worried about her because she had always showed up to practice before so I texted her. She had her location turned off which she never did before and she was ignoring everyone else's texts. I'm pretty sure I was one of the few people that knew she was suspended so I thought maybe she would respond to me. And then she did text back and she was really worrying me. She was saying how I didn't get it and how she was a disgusting person with no future and I was trying to reassure her and show her that I supported her. Ithink a couple other girls knew everything because she asked if anyone told me anything but no one had. And then she was like there's so much stuff going on that you don't know and then she said she did drugs and that she was suspended because they found some in her backpack. She then said that she went to practice and ran high a few times or after a few shots. She said she hasn't done anything the past week and she felt really gross. I was trying to tell her how much I cared about her and how I would be by her side through everything and she took a really long time to respond. This was Saturday afternoon. Then I texted her again this morning, Sunday, and she responded at like 2 in the afternoon adding how she didn't deserve someone like me and how thankful she was for everything. I'm really worried about her rn and idk how to help her. She didn't want me to tell anyone that she was suspended so I'm assuming she doesn't want me to tell anyone she does drugs either. And the school knows because they caught her with them so I don't want to tell them. But idk how to help her. She needs help and I need to be there to give it to her but idk what to do. I want her to quit by I know how hard it is because my uncle smoked for 40 years or more and got sick because of it and continued to smoke and died. I know how hard it is to stop but I need her to stop so she can be better. She needs to be okay. Idk what to do to help her but I need to. I'm so desperate and idk who to turn to. I told my sister that she was suspended but not what for or anything else. But my sister is barely 18 and she can't do anything to help. She's leaving for college on Tuesday anyways. I don't have anyone to reach out to and idk what to do. Please someone help me help her

Talk to her about how bad drug use is and tell her that if she can't stop using drugs it would be a good idea for her to go to rehab to get the help she needs to get off them. You can only do so much, and it is really up to her to help herself.
ReplyHi, first of all I I'm sorry for my English but I'm not a native speaker. I think that telling her how bad drugs are won't help, since she probably already knows it, but you could tell her that there are a lot of other things she can do. She could start counselling and it would help a lot, and you could suggest every thing she can do. But the most important thing is that you remind her you love her either way, and nothing has changed between the two of you, she really needs to hear that. Then it's really up to her, but you will support her throughout this process. Also, don't forget to take care of yourself because it is draining, caring for someone. Hope I helped a bit, xoxo.
