Please... Stop, I'm The One In Pain... Not You
I have a friend, we'll call her "Amy" this isn't her name but you get the point. She loves to be a teen so she says. Amy is only 15. She just turned it. We don't live in the same town. I try to see her as much as I can, but I don't know what to do anymore. She goes out and parties, gets drunk, high and has sex with people she doesn't know. She lost her virginity at the age of 12 to a guy whose name she doesn't even remember a year later... at the start of 8th grade she already made a name for herself... Amy was... is a "w****." I am her best friend, the ONLY one she has. those other people that say they are her best friend, but they're NOT!! You can't let her smoke do drugs and drink and has UNPROTECTED sex with guys and not care and call yourself her BEST FRIEND! Going back to Amy though, she was just a flirt most 8th grade girls are I know that for a fact. So you can't really say much about that... but it just got worse. During the summer of 8th to 9th grade she had started to give her number out to guys that she would meet in parking lots. Scared she doesn't know what to do when they start texting her sexual
messages and pictures. She came to me for help. “Tell the cops.” Is what I told her but she said “No, I'll just stop answering.” Luckily that had worked... this time. Now Amy has finally thought that maybe this is to dangerous and she needs to stop... well so I thought. Amy has a cousin we shall call her Jess. She is honestly a horrible person. No good in her. Jess had this friend “Bobby” we will say as his name, she had told Bobby to flirt with Amy. He was a user. Anybody could see this, and Amy fell for him. She started to talk to him. And when she told me about him I saw nothing but badness. Amy thought he was really good looking. Well one day Bobby really wanted something from Amy... and he was going to get it one way or another... He held her down and started kissing her. She didn't want it and tried to push him off. Then he took her phone and said “If you want it back this is what you have to do” and put his tongue right in her mouth. She was repulsed by him, struggled to get her phone back and left. He kept calling her. Trying to have sex with her. He didn't. This is how things went down from then on. Guys she would meet would only want her for that one thing. And at this point she had only drunk before and maybe just maybe one or two smokes every now and then. Amy is very good looking as well, she does teen molding and this is why a lot of guys like her and she knows it, too. She would go to teen clubs and meet people and yes that is kind of the point she would go farther then that at times. Sleeping with guys who has STD's not ever talking to them again after that. Being scared she might get pregnant. Amy had a teen mom, she had her at only 15 so Amy doesn't want that to happen, but acting like this only makes it riskier. This was her whole summer. Now we enter 9th grade and she went to a new school. People already knew who she was. They already knew what she would do for them. The first month of school she has gone out with about 3 guys. And had sex with all of them. Had gotten suspended from school a few times and had now been drinking way more then ever before, smoking more, too. By the middle of the year she has gotten high, had to sneak out of her house almost ever night had sex with over 20 people easily. Grades going down and her life being broken apart. She has had sex in public and in store bathrooms. She had gotten so high one night that her “friends” made her sleep with a 22 year old. Amy is only 14 still... they did this so they could keep getting their drugs from him. They did this for two weeks. Why Amy hung around them I don't know, they were the only ones who accepted her, she said. She says she's being safe but I know she isn't... it's the sad truth. Skipping ahead to the summer now this has still happened sending half naked pictures to guys who asked. Smoking so much almost everyday now drinking way too many times and getting so high. How is she going to be able to look back on this and feel good? How can she love this. By now we are in 10th grade. She had now slept with all together over 30 people and now she has a boyfriend who she really cared about. She cheated on him because she was being pressured for sex and he was 18. Not only that, Amy is still 14 but she got so drunk and high one night she had sex with 5 guys not even knowing it puking all night and passing out. I just don't know what to do... If she doesn't stop she will die I know it. Amy please for me, stop... I love you.
