As a teenager, supporting a friend struggling with addiction can be overwhelming but crucial. Offer non-judgmental listening, encouraging them to seek professional help. Educate yourself on addiction and its effects, and advocate for healthy coping mechanisms. Be patient, understanding relapses are part of recovery. Encourage them to join support groups or therapy sessions. Set boundaries to protect your own well-being. Lastly, remember, you can’t force someone to recover; they must choose it for themselves. Your support can make a difference, even if progress is slow.
