He asked me to post this question... (kind of long)?

Well, my friend (Tim) came overeek and we started to talk about our brothers and sisters, and he suddenly says "I think my brother is on drugs".. I was sort of surpired by him saying this (because he wasn't saying it jokingly) and he startred to tell me how he was playing with his brothers cell phone, and he got a text message, and my friend read the message and it said: "I want to get high this week can I buy some off of you"? so my friend said that maybe the person who sent him this message (he never heard of the person, but Tims brother must know him/her because his brother receives texts from him/her a lot).. So my friend thought it was probably a friendship question to see if his brother would really let his friend do drugs.. I thought this was being a bit optimistic, but then Timd that his brother never comes home high and never late and doesn't party often and is verrry health concious.. Plus, I know his brother and he doesn't seem like the person who would do something like drugs.. But then Tim suddenly became sad and said his brother was leaving his cell phone a lot at home, and was coming home later than usual (by at least 2-4 hours).. I tried to tell him the cell phone thing was definitelyt an accident and if he was doing drugs he wouldn't leave his cell phone at home because anyone can easily find out if he was or not. So now, he wants me to tell you guys about this and wants your feedback.. sorry for it being super long :(



Maybe that person was just kidding, you know? I don't find that type of joke funny, though. Tell Tim to ask his brother, because it sounds like the type of thing that might turn out to be nothing, or turn out to be very serious. But, you never know. Tell Tim to get his parents involved IMMEDIATELY just to clear everything up.





The part about him being sad: Maybe it's depression? A girl said something? A friend said something? Just tell your friend to get his parents involved. That's the best you can do. If he doesn't have parents, get another adult that you trust to get involved.





Hope everything works out okay.




He is a junkie.




to tim: i would personally confront my brother about it..just bring up the being lateness, the text message, and how you feel about it.





its always the best thing to do..if he denies it then, well your just


going to have to trust what he tells you. if hes that good of a person like you are describing, he will eventually come out and say it if he really is doing drugs.





-good luck
