What would you do?

What would you do if you knew someone was doing the wrong thing. Would you confront them? Yell at them? Try to reason with them? Leave them be?

I'm so freaking amazed and pissed and sad, I don't even know where to start.

I'd gauge the potential harmful effects ...

"Wrong" isn't clearly defined, not for me ... but IF what they were doing were specifically going to have a negative impact on my own life (yours, in this case) I would feel more comfortable issuing strong objections. If what they're doing is going to have a negative impact on their own life, I'd still tell them I was concerned, and urge them to think twice, be careful, etc.

For me ... the tricky part comes in when the "wrong thing" is something that can harm a third party. At that point, it becomes a whole 'nother ball of wax. Depending upon the possible seriousness of the consequences, I'd consider telling the third party or arranging for an intervention with the friend contemplating the wrong-doing. And, of course, others have mentioned calling the police or shooting the person ... those are always viable options, too!

Good luck, darlin' - I hope things work out so that YOU have resolution, at least!
