Do you realize how much your reckless behavior has hurt those around you? You're so selfish! You say that they're the only people who understand you. Could you be any more blind? You have a family that loves you, and you have friends that are there for you 24/7. Why would you ever want to give that up?
I understand that the way you live your life is your choice, but your choices affect everyone around you. Maybe you don't realize it now, but in a few years your life will come crashing down and there will be no one left to save you. Why? Because you alienated all the real friends that you had. The only friends you now have are superficial and fake, so when the times get rough they will scatter like cockroaches.
I hope you have fun while you're falling apart. I can't put up with your immature, selfish behavior. You want me to join you while you do things that you'll regret. When I refuse, you get angry. I'm sorry for trying to make the right choices for my future. I'm sorry for caring about how my behavior affects my family and friends.
I'm sorry I'm so selfish.
You make me so sad.
Party Girl, It's your choice.

Sounds like you have your priorities straight. Is this a friend? I take it you've already tried talking it over with her. Is there someone older that has been in this situation before and reaped the bad consequences? maybe this person could help her out.

Check it out...it's a work in progress.
It's a friend who I grew up with, and she just recently started spending time with the wrong crowd.
I've tried everything. She's just too stubborn and headstrong and does not care about anyone but herself. It's not worth trying to help her anymore.
People make foolish decisions. There comes a time when you have to take into consideration how long you two have been friends and how much she may have helped you, but then there comes a time when you have to know if staying friends will hurt you in the long run and taint the goals or beliefs you've had.
Dr. Suess once said "The people who mind don't matter, the people who matter don't mind." In reality, this quote is, for lack of a better word, bullshit. It can relate in some cases, but when you see a friend utilizing destructive behavior in such a selfish matter and refuses to listen to reasoning, then it's time to count your losses and call it a day.
When someone is going down a destructive path, family, friend, whatever... never allow them to take you down with them. It is very selfish and one can easily and logically interpret it as uncaring and unempathetic. They don't deserve your time.
