Dear Anyone,

I have a friend of eleven years. Me and her used to be so close. But over the past 3 years, she has been in and out of jail, rehab and has ran away from home more times than I can count on all my hands and feet. She was almost sentenced to jail for 6-10 years last year for what she does. But about 2 months ago, she got out of rehab with the attitude of:

"I'm going to stay clean. I'm to prove everyone wrong that I CAN do this."

But last night she showed up at my party stoned. And I found out that she already ran away from home for three days. She's going back into the drugs that she promised me she would never do again. I don't know what to do.

She has been doing this to me for about 4 years. Every time she screws up, it puts a toll on me. It hurts so much to know that she is going through all that. But this time it hurts so much more. I can't keep holding on to her. I can't keep holding onto the friendship that died freshman year of high school. I hate her for all the pain she causes me, but I love her so much more.

Even after all the pain she has put me through, my heart is still finding a way to forgive her. But I dont want to. What should I do?

WHAT'S YOUR ADVICE?

	A:	Forget her. If she really cared for you, she wouldn't put you through all that pain.
	B:	Stay friends with her. You managed to make it through everything else, and this is when she needs you most.
	C:	Talk to her parents. It should be their problem to deal with, not yours.
	D:	Plan an intervention. Get all everyone who knows your friend to get together and face her all at once--she needs that to get the message.
