I have a friend, who I think in my opinion is doing drugs, and not only that he is living a kind of lifestyle which is beyond his capacity. some of his friends are starting to hate him because of his wrong doings. He owes money to every friend he knows, he's cheat some people to get some money. Now everyone is avoiding him, to be honest I hate what he is doing to his life right now but i pity him. Some of our friends decided to turn their back on him coz they say he's a hopeless case. I also want to do the same but there's something in me that tells me not to leave him. Is it still worth staying with him to be his buddy? do you think he is sick psychologically?

I think that you shouldn't leave your friend behind. He needs a friend right now, No matter how different or extreme you differences maybe. No matter how much you disagree with that person. Just being there and letting him know that what he's doing is not right. I think that is the best you could do for now. Your friend is going through a lot right now and needs guidance.

I think he needs help professionally, try to help him save his life and future. It's not normal anymore, better to seek some professional guidance from people who are expert in that field. Good luck!
