Kara is worried about her friend Jamie, who seems depressed and withdrawn. Jamie recently quit their softball team, which she used to love. She has started hanging out with a group of friends who are known for underage drinking. Kara wants to help Jamie, but she doesn't know how or where to look for resources. What is the best next step for Kara?

A. Start ignoring Jamie.

B. Try to forget about Jamie's problems.

C. Talk to Jamie's new friends, whom she does not trust.

D. Talk to her softball coach, whom she trusts.​

Respuesta :

D is the correct answer. It only makes sense they are a grown up and can contact Jamie’s parents

Answer:

D. Talk to her softball coach

Explanation:

From the information in the scenario presented, Jamie is showing very common symptoms of depression. Because of this and the friends she is surrounded by, she is at high risk for developing a substance abuse disorder alongside her progressing depression. Out of the options presented, talking to her softball coach, who we assume is an adult trusted by both Kara, would be the best option. This is because this adult can not only help guide Kara through her relationship with Jamie, this adult could talk to Jamie and get her the help that she needs.
