I met this guy who says he does weed! He smokes, drinks and all this stuff. He told me his myspace and i took a look. I tried to convince him maybe to stop or something but he is really addicted. i worry aobut him, even though I dont know him. Is there anything I could possibly do?
-
I was talking in and chat room and....
-
In a nutshell no - its hard enough to help someone overcome addiciton in real life, over the internet i can imagine you wouldn't have a chance.
-
I would have a chance?
-
And i forgot to say he is only 14.
-
Angelwitch meant, I'm sure, that you wouldn't have a chance.Usually people need to want to change before they can change. From what you've said, it seems this guy doesn't see a problem, so there's really nothing you can, or should, do. What he does is his responsibility, not yours.
-
Sorry i meant WOULDN'T have a chance, (thanks pete)
-
I cant stop talking to him. People are laughing that he does drugs. They think its a joke. I cant stop trying to get him to stop. I know my nose doesnt belong in his buisness, but is there anyway i can forget about him and move on with my life?

If you worried about every fool out in the world, you'd go nuts.
-
I cant help it x(
-
Don't try to help him, all i can say is that if a person wants help they'l say it.Unless hes addicted to something Life threatening like heroin or cocaine then hes fine.Iv'e done pot several times sometimes good sometimes i get anxiety attacks and iv'e been drunk to completely trashed on several occasions.Pot is nothing evil or bad.Alcohol and cigarettes are FAR worse.I smoked pot the first time in 4th grade, after i read a book from the library about it.
-
yeah stop trying to help....he'll quit when he's good and resined up inside!
-
All you can do is advise him, but there's nothing you can do to ensure he'll follow your advice.

to me weed isnt a big deal..it just sucks that hes so young. but you know, there are many WORSE drugs out there like crack and meth and stuff..my best bet is to stop worrying about it. it is probably just a faze hes going thru. however if he gets worse(as in taking more hardcore drugs), then worry about it
-
- "If you worried about every fool out in the world, you'd go nuts".Wise words..
-
if you worried about half the ppl here on a2a you'd go nuts! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
-
can i ask why "it isnt such a big deal"
-
well to me, pot isnt a big deal, there are so many other drugs out there that he can get addicted to that are way worse than pot. the only bad thing is that some people get "immuned" in a way to pot after a while and they want a more intense high.but thats only my opinion on it. occasionaly pot isnt that bad (to me), but i know a few people that coudnt get high from pot any more, so they turned to E and cocaine. so yeah, pot isnt a big deal IF smoked occasionaly.
