Q My buddy has started smoking dope a lot and I am worried about her. We went to school together and now we are both at college. She’s always been laid-back about work, but now she has started missing many lectures and I think she may fail this year. She is hanging around with a different crowd – they are OK and not bad people, but they all smoke too. I’ve tried talking to her but she brushes me offas if I don’t get it. I don’t know what to do. Should I tell her parents? Name supplied
