Scared

[BluEiis]

I am in love with a boy. We've been talking on and off for the longest time, and I'm falling in love. Last nnight we talked on the phone for hours, and he told me that he's dealing drugs. We live on the border of Mexico, and if you've heard anything about what's going on here, it's pretty bad. In the state I used to live in, areound 216 have been uncoverred in mass graves, thousands more have been killed and some have still not been found. The drug cartels are vicious and cold blooded and I'm afraid that's who he may be mixed up with. I'm scared for him. What do I do?

STAY AWAY FROM HIM. I'm not saying that because of the drugs. I do drugs, myself. I'm saying that because the cartels are terrible. If you get involved with him, you get involved with them. Let him know your reasons for leaving him. Then leave. It'll be hard, but you'll regret it forever if you don't. I promise.

Before running off with your tail between your legs, try to find out if he is with the drug cartels in the first place. If he's honest about telling you he's doing drugs, perhaps he'll be honest and tell you whether he's dealing with the drug cartels. From there, make your decision to stay with him or leave him.
