I have a sister she i s 18 she is in college..She is getting curious about things she has drank for awhile but i think that because of the fact that that her friends do drugs she is also wanting to try them.. having been in that situation i didn't know what to say...So i explained it the best i can but i am scared that she will still do it is there anything else that i can do?

you can just hope shes smart enough to not take things too far.

Also, set an example.

There's not much you can do, the only thing I would make sure she understands is that you can use drugs and alcohol, or you can abuse them. Getting drunk every night, not cool. Going to a party and having a few drinks on the weekend, not so bad. If she is at a party and a joint is going around, go ahead and take a hit. But when you have a dealer and you like to wake and bake, not cool. Understand?

Ya but the sad thing is it can start out that way and end up wake and bake and thats what i told her but she wants do do shrooms not pot.. cant explain anything about that dont have a clue..

if its shrooms she is wanting to do she needs to know that yea you can have a good trip, but you can also have a very bad trip. I have never done them because i have seen too many of my friends have really bad trips where they dont even know who their own family are. It can be a very scary situation.

Tell her -
once she has 'done it' she can never go back.

and she can never again say - I have never done drugs.

even on applications and paperwork that she fills out in the future - when the question is asked - she will have to make a choice -

answer YES to
have you ever done illegal drugs
or LIE and say no.

ALSO, just as with prescriptions, illegal drugs do not affect everyone the same.

The reactions that her "FRIENDS" get when using drugs may not necessarily be the reaction she gets when she tries them.

Her reaction may cause her a permanent injury, disability, or even death.

Then ask her - "is it really worth the risk?"

She takes chances every time she drinks. If she study this subject as hard as she does her other college classes she would see what alcohol actually does to her body and her organs.

Then hopefully wise up and realize she can still party but in a safer way.

You dont have to drink to excess or do drugs to have a good time.

My daughter has medical issues and will never be able to drink alchol. She has known this since a very young age. I have taught her to know that she has the option of 'virgin' drinks. She enjoys them today at age 15.

I hope your sister listens.

I am totally against drugs and drinking...it has nothing to do with my age either!! My cousin was killed by a drunk driver, my nephew died from a drug over dose. People do not understand how bad drugs and alcohol can effect your whole entire family.
Sure it can be fun...but once they take it to far and end up like my nephew...guess who goes through all the pain?? His family and his little girl!!
Actually you can probably talk to her till you blue in the face, she is going to do what she wants. All you can do is express your opinion and then just be there for her IF she needs you!! Good luck and God Bless

Hey, I agree with jen "if its shrooms she is wanting to do she needs to know that yea you can have a good trip, but you can also have a very bad trip".

Shrooms have Strychnine......Bad BAd BAD stufffff........
One should know what one injests.

BiG NO NO.

You have already sat downand talked with her, now all you can do is be there for her. And not just withthis issue, but in her life as a whole so she knows she can trust you to be there and to trust your feelings and beliefs as well.
And no matter what happens, do not get angry with her and do not yell at her or you will cause her to not trust you in the future and things will get worse.

Good luck.
