How to Help My Friend With an Addiction?

Question by Jane: How to help my friend with an addiction?
My friend just told me that she’s addicted to crystal meth. She’s only 15 and I know that she’s been experimenting with drugs for the last 6 months or so, but I didn’t realize how bad it had gotten. Last summer I moved away but we still talk almost every day and we’re very close. She’s told me that she’s tried shrooms, aderall, and acid. I never approved of any of this and I’ve tried to get her to stop many times. I think it’s good to have a little fun with light stuff occasionally, but she’s already a very fragile person. She struggles with depression and has been committed because of suicidal tendencies twice. She doesn’t have a lot of other people to confide in besides me, so I’m taking this very seriously. Please, I don’t know what to do at this point. If I just told her parents she would never talk to me again and I just can’t betray her trust like that.
Also she just told me that she would kill herself if I told her parents

As your friend, this will be a hard thing to do, but you have to call 911 or the police. Those drugs are illegal. It may be hard to do. But it is the right thing to do. Hope I helped! 😉
