Are the drugs just for now?

9 Comments

I visited my sister at college, and discovered she has gotten into a lot of really hardcore drugs. She has an addictive personality and I'm afraid all the recreational stuff will escalate.
Should I have said something already to someone, or am I being paranoid?? I don't want to sound like a hypocrite either, since I'm not innocent when it comes to that stuff, although I've never gone to the extreme she has. Is it normal to have absolutely no idea what to do?!?!

    Don't support her habits and be supportive of helping her get clean. She's your sister of course you care. Chances are this can lead no where good and you'll regret not trying to do what you can when you knew. It's up to her in the end tho, but let her know what's up

    I would say something - just to put the seed in her brain that she should be careful - but what she is doing is pretty normal for a lot of teenagers, and she might think you are over-reacting.

    its hard to tell. is she letting other things go? my philosophy is what you can handle and if you can't you have no business doing it. but i'm pretty liberal.

    I think you should have a talk with her. Sounds like you're a good guy and a caring brother. Help her before it's too late!

    Well you could start by saying something to her. Share your concern as a brother. Really spell out to her how you fear it will escalate. Ask her to get counseling now before it gets worse. Tell her you will attend with her.

    That sounds stressful.
    I wouldn't worry if it's the occasional use at a party or when dancing - I know 90%% of social workers would disagree, but a big part of being young is testing your borders and yep making mistakes.
    If it's more than the occasional use, I'd probably talk to my sister about it. Could you tell your parents about it? Ratting out a sibling is never a cool thing to do, however if she's damaging herself seriously I would consider it.

    First of all, it is normal for a sister to care about the well being of her siblings.

    Second of all, my advice would be to do nothing. She's an individual now, an adult with freedoms and a life separate from your family's(that's how growing up is <i>supposed</i> to work, anyway); you should just stay out of it until it becomes detrimental to her life. The only piece of your sister's personality that I know is that she is "addictive"...if anything, your concern, which she might see as nosiness or intrusion, would encourage her to become secretive and hide her habits from you...so if the drug thing did get worse, you would never know until it is just too late.
