My friend is in trouble. its all my fault...she smoked pot and got drunk now her mom found out. she took her c

im 17 shes 16. we went to a party. She got drunk even after i told her not to drink (i dont drink). she did anyway....then she tried pot. she went home and got caught. they found a pipe in her purse along w/ one lonesome beer which she had left. her parents sorta beat her(this is actually the only thing im enraged and utterly irked by). ok so she got drunk at 16, most people have. so she tried pot, again, most people have even if it isn't the wisest thing. her mom took her cellphone and started talking to me. i didnt know it was her i thought it was my friend the whole time. this is nottttt good, that woman has 2 masters in psychology!!! she just knows things by instinct. i just dont know what to do....i hate the fact that my best friend got beat and i feel like somehow its my fault. well in her parents eyes it is my fault because she said she was going to be with me for the night :(....i care about her so much and would never steer her in the wrong direction....i dont want to lose my best friend =[....what do i do??? im so depressed right now, i dont know where else to ask and vent...

Step up and do the honorable thing. Talk to her parents, explain what happened. I would like to think they would appreciate your being forthright and honest. At least your best friend will see that you aren't hanging her out to dry. I have 4 teenagers and we have a very close relationship. My wife and I know things about their friends that their parents don't. Honesty is ALWAYS the best course of action.


Good luck
Reply:I completely understand how u feel when yo friend is in trouble and somehow u blame yourself even when u know that u tried to prevent them from going down hill. Jus know first of all that its not your fault because you told her not to do it. People have their on minds u can't control everything. U should try talking to her parents and tell them what really happened. They should be grateful that u got her back safely cuz anything could have happened to her if u know what I mean. If she's a real friend she will be right by your side taking up for her on actions.
Reply:you didn't hog tie your friend, force her to drink or smoke pot. you are FRIENDS yes, but separate individuals making individual choices. your friend chose to get all messed up. it was NOT your fault.





well, i hope her parents didn't beat her 1/2 to death... maybe she needed it? I'm assuming you mean a "spanking"? You did not mention her other behaviors... i'm not there so i can't comment on this very well.





this, too, shall pass. give it time.
