You are not actively taking drugs anymore, but you are still suffering from the aftermath. I would recommend finding a drug recovery group online, because even after dumping the drugs, and the "friend" who pushed them, you are still processing the whole painful experience. A drug recovery support group, either in your geographic area or online, might be a big help. You may also wish to seek out a counselor or a therapist to help you recover from your brother's selfish and cruel behavior. It is quite natural that you are extremely angry with him. You have a strong character and a strong will to have given up the drugs, and stood your ground against your brother. Bear in mind that his girl "friend" is eventually likely to harm him in some way, just as she harmed you. Do your best to focus on your own life -- your schoolwork, your grades, positive activities, new and trustworthy friends -- and think about what you want to do when you turn 18, and hopefully, leave your home for a college or apartment of your own. Many blessings for a good recovery and a happier life. Cordially, Struggling to Survive (been there) Cassidy, I would strongly endorse Aleshya’s suggestions.

If she does it's not your fault. She just did it becuase she didn't get what she wanted, which is a huge scar to people who are suicidal for a reason. She is a huge part of why people usually don't like suicidal people. Most suicidal people aren't selfish, it's just that the pain is too much to bear. This girl, she is a brat who has no right to use suicide as a weapon to abuse you. oh and the girl won’t commit suicide, sounds like an empty threat…unless she is mental and she does.

I unfortuntely don't know any but someone here will know. Don't hate yourself, you don't have any support, and I am awed that you have made it this far. Is there are nice school nurse around? Can you trust her? Is there anyone who would listen to you that you haven't thought of yet? It's not too late to get help. Tell someone who's trust worthy, it will help. No one to blame except for the people that harmed you. I mean under the influence, your decisions are way off from what you would usually choose to do. If you need to hate soemthing, hate the girl and your abusive, controlling, self centered, horrible brother. Cassidy, there are resources that will help addicts.
