Your friend is drunk and thinks they might vomit. They say they are going to the bathroom for a spew. What could happen and what should you do?
HINT: There are 4 steps for helping a friend. (they are conscious)
1. Stay with them: If they need to go to the toilet to vomit, go with them in case they pass out and they've locked the door. Do not leave them alone.
2. Watch and reassure: Check they are conscious and breathing - the line between being drunk and overdosing can be fine. Tell them you will stay with them and help them sort out any problems with their parents.
3. Make them comfortable: If they are hot, put a cold compress on the back of their neck, or if they are cold, find something warm to wrap around them.
4. Give them water: If they are conscious and breathing you can give them water., this will help to replace any lost fluids. If they are vomiting, giving them water to drink may cause them to vomit more, so wet cloth and have them suck on it in between vomiting.

You are in year 9 and at a party. There is no adult supervision and lots of underage drinking, vaping and some people consuming illicit substances. You haven't seen your friend all night and when you spot them you can tell they are slurring their words, wobbling around, not making any sense and their eyes are rolling. Suddenly your friend collapses. What do you do?
You need to consider possibilities that your friend may have alcohol poisoning or may willingly or unwillingly have consumed illicit substances.
If your friend is not responsive you must immediately call 000, remain with them, and try and find out from bystanders if they have taken any drugs - this will be very important information for the paramedics when they arrive. Do NOT force your friend water or food. Place them in the recovery position and observe in case they begin to vomit. Scoop the vomit out of their mouth if they do to avoid asphyxiation (choking).

You are in Year 9 and some of your friends have started drinking at parties and on the weekend. You personally don't drink but you don't mind if your friends do. You have noticed that one of your close friends is drinking frequently, excessively, and often blacking out, vomiting and engaging in risky behaviours. You have tried to talk to them but they brush it off as a joke or get mad at you. You don't want to tell their parents and are not sure if you should tell a teacher because you think you will get in trouble. What do you do?
Your friend's safety is at risk and you need to tell a trusted adult. Consider the risks (to your friend and others) of keeping this information to yourself over telling a teacher or parents what is going on.

A major risk that all illicit drugs have in common
Due to the fact that they are manufactured illegally, we can never really know the contents and the strength or dosage of illicit drugs.
That means that different batches of the same drug can be very different and can result in very different outcomes. The line between dose and overdose, between desired effects and dangerous effects.

Explain: The adolescent brain is more
vulnerable to addiction.
Teens and tweens are at a higher addiction risk
than adults because the brain continues to develop through a person’s mid-twenties. Exposure to nicotine as a teen can cause short- and long-term effects on attention, learning, and memory that promote nicotine addiction.
