Okay before I start I am going to change names just to protect the innocent . Okay I have a problem with one of my friends Josh he is doing drugs and me and my friends know it. Today he really got me and my friend Susan mad. We were all going to first period after this assembly, so we basically had the first 3 periods shortened. Well on our way to study hall she asked him if he wanted to go to the Band Room, to get some practice with the instruments. He told her no and hed rather go hang with his "Druggie Friends". Well we made it to study hall as he went with his "friends", and when he came back I wanted to fully snap at him but I didn't, even when he began sniffing something, which I believe was Ibuprofren pills. So my problem here is what can I do about this? I am worried he is somehow going to get hurt doing this, I do want to tell on him but I am not sure if I should. Also sorry for throwing this upon all you people .
If I were you, I would not tell on him. Doing so will only get him to resent you and probably continue to do what he is doing. To be honest, as much as you'd like to help, you can't change him until he is ready. He must want to change himself. You should advise him as much as you possibly can, but let him know it is because you care about him as a friend, not because you are trying to judge him. My friend seemed to take it the wrong way when I tried to talk her out of doing some dangerous things. It sounds as though he got in with the wrong crowd who apparently is not too intelligent. If you want to really help, you have to be careful with how you handle it, or you will only push him further away from you and your other friend. Haha, isn't that the truth? You know something is terribly wrong with the world when this is going on.
Snorting ibuprofen? wow. Let him know that thats not doing anything to mess him up, its just going to burn like hell and cause serious sinus problems If he is a friend of yours, he must be around 16-17-18 years and he should know tooting ibuprofen wont do anything to you. Kick his ass. That will teach him something.
If he's snorting ibuprofen, he is most likely doing other stupid things, some of which may be dangerous (chugging his mom's cough medicine, for example). My friend got caught bringing a lot of her dad's prescribed medication to school. Messing around with medication isn't a good idea.
its pretty much guaranteed that it wasn't ibuprofen. judging from the Original Post, the OP knows nothing about drugs. it is probably best to let him think it was ibuprofen though... IMO it probably wasn't coke or H, but rather a prescription opiate or amphetamine since the OP thought it was a pill.
Mmmkay.. I'll get real now. I have to say to you that kids do a lot of stupid things in school. It's okay.. let him make his OWN mistakes, you know? If you're not into it, that's cool, but let him do his own thing and do your own thing. Sure, he might fuck himself up immensely but freedom is about being given the choice to fuck up immensely. There's nothing you can do to stop him, he'll probably find his own way soon enough.
I think it was probably coke, even if it was in a pill. Some people I know keep their coke in those little pills in case they get searched. They're fucking wankers - they once offered me and my friends to buy coke when we were only like 11 and 12. C'est la vie...
