I myself have never drunk or done any of these things, but I'm really really worried about how her life is going off track now. please advise me as to what i should say?

While on the topic of "help", that is exactly what your friend needs from everyone (especially her true friends)in her life right now. She's obviously in a LOT of pain. She does NOT need more pain in the form of judgement and cruel name-calling from those who are supposed to be on her side.
If you cannot refrain from being cruel, you need to step away from this poor girl and let those who unconditionally love her stand by her during this difficult time.

 if she is a friend ,sounds like she needs to be warned that she is on the wrong track in life . she may have other things going on in her life, maybe a bad home life , or something she can't deal with at home. it seems she has a (low view of her self)allowing this to happen at a early age. it would seem that there is something else going on in her life. if you are a close friend of hers , she needs someone to talk too. you might get her to open up and find out if something at home isn't right, or maybe even abuse in her life. if you find information from her that could be the cause of her present actions ( promiscuity , drinking, drugs, ect.) you should tell someone that could get her help, your parents, school counselor , someone that is in authority figure life. sounds like she could use some help, and a friend.

 Give her as much advice a Best friend can give. You surely cannot control or dominate over her. Maybe one day just sit with her and talk things out. Hopefully she will understand!!!
