I'm sorry to hear that, it's awful watching friends fall in with the wrong crowd.

Drugs can be a headfuck as it is but at 15 it's just plain stupid, I wasted some of the most important years of my life educationally smoking pot and had to go back and redo some of it. Got where I needed to go but that's not the point. I wish I'd discovered drugs at not such an impressionable age and had the coping resources to deal with them.

If your friend does fall into that trap she will need somebody to turn to in order to get away from it all, somebody who won't judge and just be there. You can play that role and show her how to have fun without needing to get wasted. That kind of lifestyle can make people cautious of being open about these issues with people who don't subscribe to it and it's hard to find people who will just accept and help you out. Good luck.
