A girl that's been in most of my classes for about 2 years I just got to meet about 6 months ago. So far, our friend to friend relationship has gone pretty well, (I'm not looking for a relationship with her, and don't find her attractive but she's had more boyfriends than I've had girlfriends so obviously someone does XD) and for as long a time as I've known her, we've advanced pretty far into a friend relationship, I'm probably her 2nd-3rd best friend right now. But lately, she's been acting weird.
She's been skipping quite a few classes (I'm in 3 of her classes a day, some days she skips them all), she recently broke up with a pot addict boy friend, she's told me she's taking anti depressants (Shes 15 man, I'm not sure if she's suppose to be taking them or she's taking them to get high) She's been talking about getting drunk and stuff, and I've seen her hang around with a bad crowd(Just on Friday for the first time) and now its beginning to worry me.
Maybe, she was always like that and only now she's starting to reveal it to me, or maybe she's entirely new to that scene. If she's been in it for a while, ill just tell her my opinion (gently) and see her reaction, and continue from there. But if she's really new to that type of scene, I really don't want to see her go down that path.
My moms a pot head, I've had my share of experiences with drug dealers, drugs, alcohol, and I hate them all (oddly enough). I don't like people who rely on them, because from my experience people who do (Like my mom) aren't trustworthy and are pretty dumb to be throwing there lives away like that.
So, what should I do? Hows a way I can tell her how I feel, try to find out if she's new to the drug game or not? I really don't want to see another person go down the path to hell, but I don't want her to get angry at me for telling her off or trying to stop her.
Talk to her about it. Ask her why she's taking the anti-depressants. There are a few cases where kids at that age need anti-depressants, but it's usually when it runs in the family too (my family has a history of depression, I'm glad to say I'm drug free though). If she is in fact, a part of the drug scene, ask her why. She might start to think about her decision, and you could tell her what it was like for those around your mom when she went through it. Just let her know that your not telling her what to do, your just trying to look out for her and don't want her to get hurt.
