    update.....
    My 19 year old friend attempted suicide today by swallowing 60 tylenols. She is currently in the hospital in ICU. They are trying to get her toxin levels to a safe #. Once that happens a social worker will come over and deal with the psychological reasons and the drug usage accusations.

    The dr told her she will be lucky if she doesnt end up on dialysis.

    This child has a long road ahead of her. lots of work to be done.

    thank you everyone for your advice. I will let you all know how she does.

    Sorry to hear this BoomBoom, she is in our prayers. Hope she can accept the guidance and start down a healthy path now. Lots of troublesome young people these days, I don't understand it.

    she is so naive and wants people to like her and wants attention so bad. Its sad. I have tried to be a good influence around her and so have all the other "moms" in the hood. She is like one of our own.

    I think she does respect me. She is just confused. Im going to go with my gut on this one and if she were MY daughter what I would want my friends to say to me. THE TRUTH.

    I asked her if she would object to a drug test and she said no but doesnt coke get out of your system really fast? All i know about is weed. All that other stuff is foreign to me and scary.

    fresh out of high school i dated one of the top dealers in my town(nothing to be proud of). i was constantly around ALL of his "clients" and friends who were ALL strung out on everything you can imagine. from what i hear, cocaine can stay in your system anywhere around 3-5 days. It differs with different people. And also, depending on how you took the substance, will depend on how quickly it will show up.

    Most drug tests can detect not only the cocaine itself, but the metabolites, and so you should stop using the drug long before the test is started.



    ***whoops, didnt read the most recent posts...guess im a little late. hope everything works out for her sake!
