She started telling me stories about her new boyfriend, about how he 26 with drugs and was into other self-destructive[自毁] 27 . I was blown away! She told me how she had been 28 to her parents about where she was going and even sneaking out to see this guy because they didn't want her around him. No matter 29 hard I tried to tell her that she deserved better, she didn't believe me. Her self-respect seemed to have disappeared.
