Young Friend Maybe Smoking - Open to All Other Health Topics Message Board

genesis · 09-20-2001, 05:40 PM

I have a feeling that a young friend of mine is smoking, but I don't know for sure how long it has been going on, and I don't even know for sure. All I know is, this friend of mine has not been talking to me lately, is constantly late to school, and just one time, I sort of smelled something. Maybe I was just making myself think that I smelled something to justify my opinion.

I have not asked him/her or his/her parents. I'm hesitant in doing anything about it because I'm afraid that 1)the person will find out I told & be negative towards me 2)the situation might just get worse...like, what if I tell & the person just smokes even more b/c everyone knows he/she smokes...and I do not want that to happen.

I've kept this quiet, and I don't know anymore if I should keep doing this. To tell or not to tell? That is the question.

Good mornin' all...BTW, this young friend is really young - I think 13 years old. That's not good.

WHAT A LOSER

. Oh my goodness, at school, this "friend" of mine was telling some of his/her "new" friends about stuff, and I mean, this "friend" of mine is just in an unassistable situation. I thought the smoking was bad. I did not know about all the things he/she did over the summer. How embarrassing of me to think he/she needed help over some pitiful smoking issue when he/she has been up to worse crap anyway

. I'd rather not say what happened at school today, but I hope the smoking gives him/her lung or heart disease. I know that is not a good thing to ask for, but some people deserve it

Sorry, but that was a crappy thing to say. My mom died of heart disease. No one deserves it. I don't care what your friend did... do you really think someone deserves to die because they ****ed you off? Grow up. And, to make your life easier, find some new friends.
