Dear Family Coach: My friend’s daughter (who is good friends with my daughter) is partying and drinking almost every night. It’s the end of the year, and she should be studying. Instead she is posting pictures of herself pounding beers on social media. I’d like to tell my friend because if I were her parent, I would want to know. But my daughter is adamant that it will ruin her friendship. What should I do? — In the Middle
Dear Middle: This situation is complicated because you have competing interests. Your daughter wants to keep her friendship intact, as do you. But the best interest of the child and family is also at stake.
