really? i only see one person giving horrible advice...enarky said:Lot's of bad advice in this thread, IMHO. You intervening will get you nothing. You will just lose a friend for sure. It's not the nice thing to do, it's the stupid thing to do. Your friend is not only doing drugs because he likes them, but also because that opens a lot of possibilities, socially. You get to know a lot of pretty cool people that way. Don't believe he'll give that up just because you say you're his friend and you show him some ridiculous pictures.
A lot of people are going through this phase. He'll wake up sometime and realize that all he did was wasting time. If he doesn't he's a shithead not worth caring for.
I say: stay in touch. Don't ditch him. Get to know his new friends. Be there sober when they use. But don't be a pain in the ass. So far everything seems under control and as long as it stays that way I don't see a problem. It's just growing up.

So his personality requires him to take drugs.....smellyunicorn said:He seems fine, but I don't know the other day I told him that seeing him doing meth really hurt me and he went on to say that we can't be friends because that is who he is..etc.
