Maria and Lydia's Dilemma

Maria's Concern

Maria and Lydia are 15 years old high school students. Maria has noticed that Lydia has been abusing alcohol. She is worried about her friend's well-being and wants to help her.

What should Maria do?

Maria finds herself in a difficult situation. As a concerned friend, she should take action to help Lydia. The first step that Maria should take is to talk to Lydia about her concerns. Approach Lydia in a caring and non-judgmental way to understand her perspective and offer support.

If Maria feels that the situation is serious and that Lydia is in danger, she should immediately seek help from a trusted adult. This could be a teacher, school counselor, or a family member who can provide guidance and support to both Maria and Lydia.

It is important for Maria to remember that she is not alone in this situation. Seeking help from a responsible adult will ensure that Lydia receives the help she needs to address her alcohol abuse and any underlying issues.
