Question

kara is worried about her friend jamie, who seems depressed and withdrawn. jamie recently quit their softeball team, which she used used to love. she started hanging out with a group pf friends who are known for underaged drinking. kara wants to help jamie, but she doesnt know how or where to look for resources. what is the best next step for kara

Answer 1

I've actually been in this position before is Jamie is stubborn then talking to her will not do anything. If Kara is really worried about her then what she can do is get a few more people that know whats going on with Jamie and are also worried about her then they can share their concerns about her as well, then Kara can take them to Jamie. 

If that does not work then remind her who she was and how good she was doing before she started doing what she is doing now. This one is the one that helped my friend. If you remind them how bad it is to hang out with these people and who she is and how she is a good person then that will most likely help. 

Hope that helps!

Answer 2

i would try talking to her to help her, if that doesn't work, try getting adults involved. if she will be mad, tell her its for her own good and you wanted to protect her.
