I have been dating the most amazing girl from my school (I am 18 she is 16).She is the most AMAZINGLY gorgeous girl I have ever seen, not to mention charming, funny and unique.But this girl will take almost ANY drug she can get her hands on..Cocaine, Ecstasy, Acid..Adderall, Ritalin, Vicodin.you name it.This is usually followed by heavy drinking.Sometimes she goes completely crazy. She has her good days.. but they are getting more and more rare.When she is sober all she talks and thinks about is getting messed up.she will not rest until she is.She's been in situations that would kill most people..she is always pushing herself way over her limit. She's had more than one near death expierience..She weighs 101 lbs at 5'5, and usually refuses to eat. Telling her dad is out of the question,she would be exiled from the family and probably beat up..but she is really getting out of hand. How do I stop her before she kills herself without getting her into family related or legal trouble.

Stay with her whenever you can and keep her busy. Take her out to different places where she can't get her hands on drugs. It sounds like she has self esteem issues, so make her feel special and show her that she can have a blast without drugs. Do whatever you have to to get her off the drugs.EDITTony S is 100% right. Take her to the school counselor.

If her dad (or parents) is out of the question, go to your school guidance counselor. Everything you tell the counselor will be kept in strict confidentiality. At that point, the counselor gets involved and would find a way to place your girlfriend in some sort of drug treatment/rehabilitation program as well as being placed in a controlled environment where she can do no harm to herself.Her family WOULD have to get involved somehow but it would be with counselors and professionals.If you care for her as you say you do, speak up. Not doing so could cause harm, not only for her but for you thinking that you could have done something...but didn't.

People like this have to hit rock bottom before they will pick themselves up and dust themselves off.Many years ago I had what I guess you could say was a childhood sweetheart. I cared about this guy a lot, and we even had a child together. He had tried taking his life several times and was a drug user and a heavy drinker.I went to his parents about it many times, especially after he wound up in jail a few times. Nobody in his family seemed to think that he had any type of a problem or that could not happen to their son.Your girlfriend ( as much as you care about her), is going to have to reach that point where she says to herself."I don't want to do this anymore, or I don't wish to live like this anymore, I want to get clean."Then comes the struggle of doing it. My childhood sweetheart never has reached that point. He is now nearly 40 and hasn't seen his daughter since she was in about the 1st grade. He is estranged from his family and doesn't have a permanent place to live. All because he chose drugs and alcohol over all of these good positive things.Talk to your guidance counselor at school if you can or go to a Al-Anon meeting they have wonderful support groups for those who are living with a user or an alcoholic. Al-Anon is completely free and there are people there who can all relate to you.Good Luck.

This girl has a lot of problems and if left untreated, they will only get worse. She could very well kill herself. You must talk to someone, either her parent or a school guidance counselor or a trusted teacher. She needs professional help, and you aren't trained to administer that help. One piece of unsolicited advice: talk to her parents or teacher, then, run like hell in the other direction. Best wishes.
