15 and on drugs

I am baffled! I mean completely outdone right now. I’ve seen tv shows, lifetime specials, and movies of the week that put out there young kids that get strung out on drugs at an early age, but I just found out my 15 year old cousin was on Ecstasy and Cocaine. She also smoked weed. I have a vision of all kinds of horrible things that may have happened to this girl. And I don’t know what to do. She just finished rehab, and swears that she wants to do right now, but dayum! COCAINE! Shit- My mind is all screwed up! She should be skipping classes, crushing on little boys, going to the malls and hanging out. But instead this girl has lived such a hard life. I want to reach out to her, but I’m hesitant. I am at a serious fork in the road right now. What do I do? Do I try to help her stay clean? Or do I leave her to do for herself?
