Community AnswerCall the police. Forcing someone, especially a child, to consume drugs or alcohol is illegal. If you can't get to a phone to call the police, just tell an adult, like a teacher, counselor, a friend's parent, etc. This is definitely abuse. Tell someone you need help.

QuestionHow can I deal with peer pressure?
Community AnswerKeep the right kind of company and you won't have to deal with it. Avoid people who try to pressure you to do anything you're not comfortable with. If someone does try to pressure you, stand up for yourself and say you're just not interested. If you see a friend succumb to peer pressure, call them on it.

QuestionHow can I help a friend who is addicted to drugs?
Community AnswerIf you're a kid/teen, talk to an adult, like a teacher, guidance counselor, or parent. This is the only way to get them the help that they need. If you're an adult, tell your friend you're worried about them, and if they're open to it, help them look into rehab facilities in your area. If they're an adult and they're not willing to get help, however, there's not much you can do about it.
