Alright so hopefully this is a suitable place to post this, but any way I met a 15 year old at my first rave about 3 months ago. She was rolling, but said she only did it at shows which isn't too bad. I still dont think 15 year olds need to be rolling, but if done responsibly its not all bad. Over the past 3 months I have watched her turn into a total drug addict. She rolls at least once a week and trips acid when ever she can get her hands on it. My question is, is there anything i can do to help her? Me and my other friend were debating telling her parents, she is fucked up.

Mods feel free to move if this is not the appropriate section.
 
Addiction is a complex issue and you can't really force her to stop. Being non-judgmental and providing an example of using drugs in a way that is not problematic may be helpful. But don't let yourself feel responsible for another person's actions because she can ultimately decide to do what she wants.
 
thats true, just wishful thinking that there is anything i can do. its terrible to watch. shes committing mental and possibly eventually literal suicide.
 
Well, to be honest, eating acid and doing ecstasy once a week doesn't really sound like it qualifies as an addiction yet. It's called the honeymoon phase, and most of us grow out of it with only a few bruises. For me it was a positive thing. My interest in drugs encouraged me to read and learn more about them and I was pretty knowledgeable when I was 17, and very selective about the drugs I used despite being slightly irresponsible at times. Better she be tripping and rolling then doing the physically addictive stuff, like oxys. There's reason to keep your eye on her, but no need to panic. Besides, like it's been said, there isn't much you can do to sway people in this situation.

Refer her to a site that might possibly have information on how the abuse of those drugs (namely MDMA) can effect the person abusing. This is a good place to start. If she doesn't want to do that try explaining things to her. Things like the risks associated with all sorts of drug abuse. If she still doesn't shape up, well I'm sorry to say there isn't really much you can do, other than tell her legal guardian who will then have their say in how to handle the situation.
 
As others have said she is just going through her honey moon phase, I don't really think your in a position to say what is wrong and right for her, and I don't think it is right for you to call her parents, that would just make matters worse.
 
Yeah, please whatever you do... don't tell on her. This definitely wont help, especially because many parents don't know shit about drugs and don't know how to handle such a situation. This will most certainly make the situation worse, not better, and besides it's her life to fuck up not yours. You can aid her in the direction of good decision making, but that is it.

^ Truth. I wouldn't stick your knows in someone else's business. What she's deciding to do she needs to learn on her own and only she can make the change. Her parents finding out will only lead to her doing riskier things to fulfill her habit.
 
I think its a good thing that you're worried about her. If I was 15 when I used ecstasy I would have wanted someone to tell my parents. Then I wouldn't have wasted so much money and time. It also would have saved from from numerous mental breakdowns. You should try to talk to her at least. I hope she wont just act like a rebelling teenager.

Could your parents have stopped you from doing what you want? Mine sure couldn't... and they tried.

Well first of all everyone's parents are different.
Second, making them aware of the issue makes using much more difficult as opposed to if they didn't know.
Ya feel me?

Hmmm... didn't really work that way for me. My mom knew I was doing ecstasy, was very anti-drugs, would cry and beg me to admit it, and still... I found a way.

A lot of parents don't really know that much about drugs, only that they are "bad". Because of this, they often aren't equipped to deal with a serious drug issue. It's sad really...

she was rolling on a monthly basis for a few months before i met her. this is a full blown psychological addiction, she also has depression which i'm certain has to be exacerbated by all the rolling.
 
Still... she's really the only person who can do anything about it. Even her parents couldn't really help her. She has to want to quit and she obviously doesn't yet.
