 You have recently become worried about one of your close friends. In your mind he has always been a good person. He  is kind to everyone and is recognized as a school leader. He has worked as an ESL tutor for some of the younger students  and has started a recycling program in the school. He is good at science and talks of going to medical school someday.   The cause of your worry for your friend is his secret drug use. He has used his chemistry skills to learn how to make some illegal drugs at home. You aren’t sure what drugs he is making, and at first, he was just using occasionally, but now he is changing. He has become uninhibited and mean. He drives while using these drugs, and when you tell him he shouldn’t use drugs and drive, he gets mad at you. Once he pushed you and told you what he did was none of your business. He has started skipping school and his grades are falling. You fear  that your friend is heading for serious trouble, and you wonder what you should do about it.   Would you do anything? What would you do?

Sam.V- If I had a friend who was doing drugs, the first thing I would do would to be take them to the side, sit them down and tell them how I feel about what they are doing. Also how it is affecting me and how I see it affecting them. If they don’t listen or change, then I will talk to my parents first ask them what they would do. Then I would probably go and talk to my friends parents and let them know what is going out with their child and some of the things that they are doing.
