I see my sister drinking from pics on facebook, what should I do?

She is in her first year of college. She is really smart but I feel her decision making skills are not as good. I see pictures of her drinking, not to much but I see them on her facebook. I don't want anything to happen to her, so a side of my wants to tell my parents. I also don't want her to hate me, so I don't want to do that to her. Is this a normal thing, do most college kids do this, even if they go to a good school like her, College Park? Please help

you should tell on her and report her to the authorities...it could save her life one day








NO, you should do as I say. sure it's not the cool or popular thing...but what if your sister died in a car accident?
Reply:Don't do that what the first post person said! Tell her about your concerns and make it genuine. That could very well make her change her habits of drinking, and it is best since she won't get in trouble with the law!
Reply:Tell your parents. They won't tell her you told them. And yes, most college kids do this. And some of them get raped, and some die in car accidents, and some die of alcohol poisoning. Tell your parents.
Reply:as her brother , tell her exactly how you feel (which is what you just did when stating your question) . im guessing you're the younger brother...tell her how you feel, thats all i can say . tell your parents if things get serious
Reply:what you could do is tell your mom that you are "accidentally" leaving your facebook open and that she should "accidentally" go by and take a look at it......trust me....she will know that you are wanting her to see something that she should know.That way you can just apologize to your sister for "accidentally" leaving that page up.
Reply:You have to make that decision yourself. None of us can make it for you.





Unfortunately, there is a lot of drinking on college campus! If this worries you, can you call your sister and tell her you are worried about her because you saw those pictures?





Most kids get through college okay, even when they drink, so she will probably be okay.





If you tell your parents you saw pictures of her drinking--what would their reponse be?





Sorry, but I cannot make this decision for you. But I do understand your concern.
Reply:well i wouldnt do what the first person said but he does have a point...... ppl do die in car crashs and some of them are caused from an intoxicated driver....BUT if u do tell on her think first.... how do ur parents feel about alcohol if u think they will be very accepting of it and u think its the only way to stop her give it a shot but if u do that she is guaranteed to get very mad at u. and if u think she would take what u said to heart just call her, or email her and explain your worries and fears for her..... hope it all works out for u Ohh yea and YES ALOT of collages are like that........ A LOT!
Reply:Sounds like if she is in college and a good one, she is more than likely a "good girl" and has worked hard to get there. She also may be at least 18?? "an adult".


At some point these choices are hers. As a concerned brother (awesome) you should let her know how you are feeling and that you have concerns. Monitor the situation, check her "facebook" page and see if and how often new pictures appear of drinking and or partying and if it becomes serious or more often let her know that you voiced your concerns and you feel you need to let parents and/or school authorities know because you love her and don't want anything to happen to her.
