Okay, this is not 1 of my usual threads, this 1 is really serious.. Okay, my best friend has been disowned by her parents and she's been drinking like there's no tommorow because of it... I don't know how I can help her, I REALLY need some suggestions here, I've already lost her before (metathorically) (probably spelt that wrong) I don't wanna lose her again :'(

Just show her support and that you care, be gentle , but stay a safe distance. You don't want to intrude, try not to make them seem wrong, though try to sublimate messages of what they did wrong into the conversations and how they would try to fill the gap in their relation with their parents (if possible). Show her you are there for her and always will be, try to bring her spirits up with a little flattery, massage her ego a little. Let her know that she can get through this, this will only make her stronger...:) <3

It all depends on why they would do something like that. In any case, if you feel that she deserves it, try to comfort her, but make sure to give her some space, and try to avoid ordering her to do stuff. Be more of a consultant rather than a boss, and just keep her from doing something she'll regret later on.

The only thing you can do is to make sure she is surrounded with friends to support her and not who do not encourage the drinking. Other then that there is no way you can help. She will seek out help if she really wants it. Just make sure that she knows that you will be there for her.

Just be there for her and make it clear that you are willing to listen to whatever she wants to talk about.
You can't really help her more than that. You can screw up really really easily though.

Drink her so far under the table that the resulting hangover will make her feel like death.
Or just give her the old eye drop solution. Check the label though some of them are dangerous.
Point is just make drinking suck ass.

She has been disowned by her parents?! What?:what: That is really terrible. Maybe you should convince her to call her parents or to see them. To have a serious talk with them.
Does she have siblings? If she has, then they should have an effect on parents.
Or what if it's not really serious? Her parents may not have really wanted to do that, maybe they were furious at that moment and won't be in few days. Times heals everything, as I know...
I hope everything will be fine and that it will have happy ending. ^^

She drinks.

You also don't like gays so don't give her sympathy. You have none to give.

Ignore the person.If the person sees what they are doing results in more people caring less about them they will stop.However it could make it worse so its really up to you.You could talk to the person or ignore,your choice.
