So at my college we live in suites with multiple other girls. I live with nine other girls. Some have a roommate while others have singles. Anyway, one of my suitemates either has been known for not coming to meals. Earlier tonight I was eating dinner with another suitemate and I asked if our suitemate was coming and she said no, commenting that if her staying in the suite was just as well because she was only going to throw the food up anyway. I had no idea that she was doing that when she ate. Apparentally she does it when she thinks that no one will know that she is doing it, (though somehow my other suitemate knew about it. She appears to know stuff going on in the suite that I don't.)

I expressed concern about this but she told me that our suitemate was just making the same decision that smokers and alcoholics made by hurting their bodies and that this was just some stage of her's since she's depressed with what's going on in her life right now such as her mom getting breast cancer and making her feel guilty for not being at home to take care of her and take her to doctor's appointments. Getting drunk at parties and being underaged for that matter doesn't help. (Unfrotunately, many of my other suitemates have attended such parties as well.) I don't buy the logic though that this is just some faze that needs to pass. She needs help, but I need courage to handle this situation. She's the kind of person that says, "Back off! It's none of your business" and rarely opens up about her problems to us. I remember how last year when some suitemates discovered her and another girl on campus with alcohol and since one of them was an R.A. she had to turn her in. She got mad at the other girl with the R.A. who was this girl's roommate who also saw her and to show her anger she locked her out of their room. So if I sit down to talk with her or tell someone else about her, things could get ugly. I may have to lose a friend. :sadder:Thankfully, there are counselors on campus but she probably won't be positive about therapy.

So some of my suitemates are out at those wild parties and one of them apparentally has weed under her mattress or something. (That piece of information just had to slip when I was around. ) I also know of some girls who are not apart of my suite but are my fellow students that I ask prayers for. One has been having one night stands and has been suicidal for months and the other may be participating in three-somes. I'm not sure if its just a rumor or what. Some of my suitemates that know her more than I do said it. She's either participating in three-somes or her reputation is being tarnished. Either way it's bad.


So yea, I know a lot of people who need praying for.
Thank you.
