One of my friends has major confidence problems...let me give you some background info.
Freshman/Sophomore year of high school she battled anorexia, denied it to everyone. She had a calculator with her at lunch and would calculate all the calories she had eaten that day...most of the times would just throw her lunch away. When a group of us tried to confront her/her parents about it...she ended up slitting her wrists. Junior year she recovered from that stage, began eating healthy again, and wouldn't dream of killing herself.
Senior year she got into alcohol...started dating a really sleazy guy (21, no job, no school). She would go to his house, get wasted and have sex. She broke up with him this summer...but her drinking habits, going out to parties is terrible. Now she's in college, 6 or 7 hours away from me, and of course she's away from her parents. Almost each night she has gone out to parties, gotten wasted beyond wasted. This isn't just simple go out and have a good time, this is going too far.
My friends and I are worried about her considering her past behavior, but of course none of us can really do anything because we're now scattered, and we're also afraid if we confront her about the alcohol she'll do something like we did when we went to her about her anorexia.
What should I/my friends/her friends do? Let it play out and see if she starts to take control of herself...or do some thing now? And what?
