intervention from project (for saturday)

This portion deals with giving my audience suggestions for anonymous interventions. since my audience is very socially orientated, i felt that in order persuade them to do something that defies their social solidarities (such as narcing on their friend, they need to be offered a method that won't comprimise these solidarities and social ties, and i feel anonymity is that best method

Problems with Direct Intervention:
Confrontation is a very intimidating and unattractive method of seeking help or rehabilitation for your friend/loved one, and rightly so. The consequences of direct confrontation can be extremely damaging to a teenagers reputation among his/her peers and usually yields repercussions such as ostracization, tormenting, and/or physical fights. These threats, along with their desensitization to drug use, in effect, have incited apathy and have averted teenagers away from confrontation which would be beneficial, or possibly even save their friend/loved one's life.

Indirect/Anonymous Intervention:
However, there are other methods of intervention other than doing it directly, those being indirect/anonymous intervention. This form of intervention is dramatically more effective that directness in that it enables you to get help for your friend/loved one without having to compromise your the social ties you have built with that person or friend group.

Methods:
Anonymous letter to your friend/loved one's parents/guardians. Here, you can explain the severity of your friend/loved one's addiction and strongly recommend that the parent/guardian considers getting help for their kid. The best way to approach this method is to be as empathetic as possible. Since the parents/guardians are most likely not aware of their kid's addiction, this letter will be very devastating, and will incite a vast array of emotions. To compensate for this, as I said above, empathy is the best approach, not only to somewhat provide comfort for the parents/guardian, but also to legitimatize your letter. If your voice is too bold or forthright, the parents may think it was a joke, throw the letter in the trash, and your efforts to help your friend/loved one will go unheeded.
To ensure anonymity, you must take a couple precautions.:
When you are sending a letter be sure to leave out a return address. If you are worried that UPS or the Postal Service will lose your letter, you can always put it in their mailbox, if they have one that is accessible from the front yard or if not, slip it under their front door.
Make sure not to sign you name at the end. Instead you could always write something like "Sincerely, A concerned friend"
If you have distinct handwriting, or you think your friend/loved one will recognize your handwriting, you can always type it.
Anonymous email to your friend/loved one's parents/guardians. If you are uncomfortable, or unable to write a letter, the next best from of anonymous intervention would be email. Treat this method similarly as you would with the letter. However, the benefit of using email is that if the parents/guardian disregard your recommendation for help, you can keep sending the email, creating new accounts if you have to. The relentlessness alone (if first email is not accepted), would demonstrate your legitimate concern for their child, hopefully instilling suspicion in them, and causing them to be more attentive around their kid. This in effect, would hopefully lead to the proper help and rehabilitative care your friend/loved one needs to get off drugs and progress in life.
To ensure anonymity, again, you must take a few things into consideration
If you have an easily recognizable email address , make sure you create a new one, possibly with a name that is suggestive to your cause.
Again, be sure to omit your name. Probably the most classy and empathetic way to sign this email would be "Sincerely a concerned friend."
