buddy has BIG BIG BIG problem

[Brandon12]

one of my school mates is also 12-13, he is jammed in a very bad situation. he has been getting drugs from some guy and now he owes him 100 some dollars because he hasnt paid him for the drugs, and now he is selling drugs for this guy to make up for the money he owes him. but he can't cause no one wants it. now the dealer and his gang is going to beat him up. he is very sad and often cries. lots of people want to help hi but dontt know how...

[squirrley]

go to your counselor or something...tell someone with authority...

[flOatmyBOat]

wow...your friend needs help. i mean you can't just let him by himself. squirrley is right, go tell a counsler or something! quickkk!

[LightOn]

12-13? Wow that is young. Like Squirly and float said, get him outside help immediatly, he is much to young to take care of that.

How old is this dealer?

This is the number to the National Citizens' Crime Prevention Campaign, you know "Take a bite out of crime" 1-800-722-TEENS (83367) it's toll free and please advise your friend to call them.

oh brother... children are getting dumber and dumber these days. however i will give you props because you are actually thinking with your head in that you have realized your wrong. plain and simple, if the counselor doesn't work, there is always your parents.... muhahahaha

true they won't like how the situation has turned out, but they are willing to help you out and help you learn from this situation. that is after the fact that they have given both of you a couple of slaps. but honestly, they would give you the 100 bucks. raverboy

why the hell does everyone think 13 is too young for this kind of thing? anyways, drugs are stupid and if you pay the $100 for the drugs, there is no guarantee that he wont put himself back into that hole he just got out of. you should help, but not just by paying off his debt

[sfalexi]

you should help, but not just by paying off his debt

I agree completely. He has to learn the hard way. And if he can't find help, then the hard way will be through a beating. But paying off his debts won't help him learn from his mistakes.

Also, his parents have a RIGHT to know about this. Whether you tell them, or the counselor, but someone really SHOULD tell them. I know if my kid got mixed up in drugs I'd sure as hell want to know. Sure he might get punished, but what's worse . . . . getting "grounded" cause you ****ed up with drugs and then having to deal with the repurcussions (which by the way is a deterrent to using them again), or having parents that are oblivious to it and won't know to look for signs of drug use and may only find out when it's too late and he's into hardcore drugs or (God forbid) already OD'ed?
