Let me first start by introducing myself. I'm Steven, I'm 14, and in 9th grade. 9th grade. Where it started.

I met this girl and we became good friends, but as the year progressed I started learning more and more about her. She apparently smokes weed and drinks alcohol, and frankly I'm worried. I have no proof she does, although let me say it is a kind of "common knowledge" she smokes and drinks.

What can I do? I am on the edge of talking to the school counselor, but I don't know if I can. *sigh* I know I should, but I just can't, you know? I want to keep her as a friend but I'm afraid of losing that friendship if I "tattle" or whatever the fuck you want to call it. Can anyone help me?
