Our Response:
You definitely need to let an adult know, because the fact that your
friend is taking medication that she probably doesn't need is very
dangerous, and it could have serious consequences. If you don't want to
tell a teacher or administrator in person, you should contact our SRO
here. Your message will be completely anonymous. You may also want
to leave an anonymous note for our ZIP (zeroing in on prevention)
counselor, Mr. Bilbray, who knows exactly how to deal with matters such
as these. He is on campus on Mondays and Tuesdays, and was spotlighted
here. If you have any doubts about telling someone, don't.
You are the one person that knows what is going on with her, and
therefore the person that can help her. If something terrible does
happen to her because of the medication, you don't want to feel guilty
knowing that you were too afraid to speak up about it and get help for
her. Please let somebody know.
