I'm a firm believer that you can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped. I spent most of my teen years angry that I was forced into treatment. I wasn't ready to accept the help I desperately needed. No one could have told me otherwise.

It's awful to watch your friends do dangerous things but if they don't even see a problem, they won't be willing to accept help. The best you can do is continue to be there when the crash comes and hope they'll be ready to lean on you then.
