My best friends are starting to hang out with some bad people and drinking a lot. What should I do?

My three best friends are starting to hang out with people that aren't a very good influence. They are starting to drink a lot, and the other night I had to take care of all of them when they were waisted. I'm getting really tired of this. What should I do?

Keep away from them until they get their brains back into gear, you don't need to get mixed up with a bad crowd.
Sooner or later they will realise or get into trouble, but you won't be involved.

As for taking care of them, it is not your responsibility and people who drink too much need to learn this and take care of themselves.

I have a friend who drinks too much and I was doing the same, so she didn't have to worry, she kept on drinking because she knew I would be there to look after her.
I had enough after getting punched in the face trying to protect her one night and said thats it, never again.It is very surprising how well she can look after herself and how little she drinks now because I just walk away or don't go in the first place. She is responsible for herself.

Try it and see!

Man’s Best Friend Should be Treated as a Family Member

I have always believed that man’s best friend should be treated like a family member.  I have held this belief since I got my first dog at the tender age of 6.  She was a little white toy poodle puppy named Angie.

 

That sweet little dog was a big part of my life for fourteen years.  She slept with me and followed me around all through my school years, and died when I was in my second year of college. 

 

Luckily, my parents loved dogs, so our household usually consisted of at least two of them.  I can remember at one point we had six pugs at one time. 

 

Our dogs were never left out in the yard to fend for themselves.  They were always with my brother and me, whether we were playing indoors or out.  I cannot even begin to imagine a childhood without dogs.  My life would just not have been the same.

 

My dogs tolerated being dressed in doll clothes and carted around in a baby doll carriage.  They even allowed me to carry them around like little babies cradled in my arms.  Man, I wonder now what they must have thought!  However, they acted as if they were perfectly content just to be in my presence.

 

Especially my little Angie, the white poodle.  She absolutely loved and adored me so much that it was almost ridiculous, but the feeling was mutual.  I would have done anything for that little dog.

 

She made my childhood so much richer than it would have been otherwise.  I am thankful to my parents for introducing me to dogs and their unconditional love and faithfulness at an early age.

 

I believe that every child should have a pet to love and care for.  It teaches them responsibility gives them a love and respect for animals.  That is a love that I have carried with me all through the years.  It never wanes.

 

Now that I live in an apartment, I have two cats instead of a dog.   I believe that dogs should have a yard where they can run and play.  Now, the cats are a whole other story which I will tell at another time.  Back to dogs…..

 

I hope that every dog owner will love and respect their pet and treat them like they are part of the family.  They truly are.  They live in our homes and are with us daily.  They put up with our moods and show us love no matter what.

 

Dogs are man’s best friend, and they have earned that title.  They never leave us or forsake us, but love us regardless of our circumstances.  They don’t care if we are rich or poor, handsome or homely. 

 

So, little Angie, wherever you are, you made my childhood great.  Thank you for that.  I hope that I gave you half as much joy and you gave me.
