DEAR CAROL: My Chica's Been Smoking

I just found out my best friend smokes. She acts like it’s no big deal, but it is. She is only 13 and her parents...

I have the same problem.. My best gye friend began to smoke a couple of weeks ago, its not just that but hes also steeling. When I found out about the smoking I made sure to contact his parents so they would know. I've confrunted him about it and have done everything I can to help him understand how unhealthy of a habit smoking is but its no use. We have been friends since kindergaten and it scares me to see him doing this to himself, it really dose. We have been more distante lately and I'v realized that I might be loosing him as a friend. What can I do????, sorry this was so long




Hey babe,

It sounds like you've done all you can. It's too bad that he's changing and becoming the kind of person that you don't feel comfortable being friends with but maybe if show him how serious you are about this by taking a break from your friendship until he cleans up his behavior. It might be the push he needs to change.

i agree with dolliegirl. and smoking is part of some ppl's religion. but smoking can harm not only the one smoking but others around them and the earth. it is not cool it is a way of killing yourself. actually smoking is also considered using drugs. SAY NO TO DRUGS!!! SAY YES TO (insert favorite food here......preferably tacos...yum :p)

I don't like the use of the word "dumb." If I was smoked (hypothetical, I don't smoke), I would feel bad and ashamed after seeing "dumb," 'cuz it would kind of imply that I was dumb...Basically, I think it was a poor choice of words.

that's terrible, her mom is not a good mother, she is practiclly killing her daughter. smoking is harmful and pointless. it does not make you cool, it makes you unliked

my friends the same way and is 13. but i dont want to interfear w/her life. we both have our lil probs. and at our skool smoking cigarettes isnt something that makes u cool. only if u smoke something else they think its cool. and iv lived around smoke my whole life! its bad but who cares? pollution is just as bad!

Mod!! How can i make new friends? im really shy and im not big on talking so its really hard 2 make friends!help!!

 

Hey girl!  It can be really scary to put yourself out there, but talking more will help you start a lot of great friendships.  When you get to school, ask the person you're sitting next to how their summer was.  Tell them a little about yours, or even just ask them about the outfit they're wearing.  Plenty of topics will come up for you to talk about, so take a dep breath and relax.  Things will be fine. best, Kristen

i have a friend who used to smoke and she got busted for it at school. then she realized how bad it was for her and she wanted to quit. so i helped her find a support group and we saved up our babysitting money to buy some of that stop-smoking gum my advice to you is to just support her the best you can and try to convince her to stop

Wow, it is good that you are concerned about your friend, because smoking is one of the worst things you can do to your body! And why would her mom be giving her the cigarettes?! That is just plain irresponsible.
