My Friend

[Guile]

Hey everyone, the other week my friend got in a lot of trouble for being drunk on Vodka, and drinking it in class. Her parents have essentially permanently grounded her. She's a nice girl, and I want to like, help her somehow? You know, be a good influence on her (as you all know how opposed to illicit activities I am).

Any advice for something that I can do that is just like between she and I? I wouldn't want to go talk to like a counselor for her or something.

Hey-

Is there anyway you could get ahold of her? Or do her parents understand how opposed you are to things like that? My best advice would just be to try to find a way to talk to her. If her parents understand that, then maybe they'd let you at least talk to her if she's not allowed to do that. But the most helpful thing really is talking. Just let her talk about what's going on, what happened, and even just have a friend who's there to help her keep her mind off things when she needs to.

Good luck. I think it's great you care about your friend so much. =)
Maria.

Well she and I sit next to each other in class, she was wasted in class, but fortunately didn't get caught at school. Either way I get to talk with her everyday, but really, I just want to help her get ungrounded before prom.

If you're in the same class, do you have some homework you could work on together? Maybe you could go around to her house and do it, her parents probably won't object if it's school related. Then you could sit somewhere (out in the open, where her parents can see) and you can prove that a) you're a good influence and b) she's 'serious' about her studies and actually putting some effort in.
