Question: I have a friend of a friend who has alcholic issues and my friend is starting to get worried because she doesnt want her friend to be harmed. how shall i help them?
Talk to her, get her to seek help from her family if the friend doens’t want to talk to their family then get her to talk to conselling services. In the first instance talk to a teacher at your school, if that doesn’t help there is the Addiction Conselling Trust, telephone number: 01296 425 329 or email them on enquiries@addictioncounsellingtrust.com.
I would encourage you to speak to your parents and speak to a teacher. If you are not comfortable doing that, then you can always phone an advice line such as Childline which can offer confidential advice to young people. (0800 11 11).
It’s an important issue to address if you, or your friend, has genuine concerns.
This is a very worrying situation and, although I admire you for wanting to help, it is not something that you should be tackling on your own. You need to speak to an adult who can help – perhaps a school nurse or a teacher you can trust to treat the information in confidence, or your own parents if you feel they could advise you. Is there someone like that that you could approach?

That is very sad, speak to your head of year or a teacher you can trust.
