Question:
Answers:
DON'T DO IT!
If you do this, bad things are going to happen without you realize it.
Also, do you want to feel like a weak person by giving in?
Trust me! Getting high is like a cult.
I know a lot of current drug users & former drug users.
The former drug users are nicer people.
The current drug users tend to be complete jerks to a lot of people because they don't care.
It's like drinking & driving mixed. It can affect your judgment. Do not give in!
They say it's cool, but to them being cool is telling life that they don't care anymore! Trust me, you want to care about life. You'll regret it, I guarantee it!
My EX-Roommates were drug users. They were all jerks & very immature!! Do you want to be a mature person? Start by walking away from this.
Don't ask drug users if it's okay to NOT get high. They don't know anything. Would you ask a 7 year old a question about sex? They wouldn't know.

HAHAHAA just kidding....
DONT DO IT.
lol
Just don't do it. You know it's wrong. If they really are your friends they will understand why you won't do it.
I think you know what's the right thing to do. Say "NO" to drugs.
Don't do it. Be a positive role model. You may need to change your friends. I know that is hard to do and, if any of them ask why you don't want to hang with them any more, tell them it is because of the drugs and, if they continue to pressure you, use that last line you just used: You can't live to be old and wise if you are young and crazy and do things that can kill you.
Don't use drugs.

Sounds like me when I was young. Had a small amount of friends way back in the day lighting up stuff, sniffing stuff, and popping stuff all around me. As for me, I've never done any drugs and I've had alcohol two times in my entire life. If you don't feel comfortable with something then just don't do it. It's absolutely stupid (INSANE really) to be pushed into doing something that you don't like. And if you do it, be safe where ever you might end up getting high at. Last thing you need is a criminal record or worse. But don't let anybody pressure you into doing something, do it on your own accord.
Get new friends my dear anyone that does not respect your choices is not a real friend....you do not have to make mistakes to learn,learn from other peoples mistakes.When you see your friends high don't you find they look like complete IDIOTS?Are you sure you want to end up like them...especially since drugs destroy brain cells...you might end up in a "special" class.
I think if they are your true friends, they wouldn't be trying to get you to do something that's wrong. The decision is completley up to you. To me, it's simply not worth it. If they can't understand that, there are always more friends out there.
I would NOT recommend this..but ~ I was in the same situation & the pressure was UNBEARABLE..I puffed on cigarettes & would be like, "nah man ~ I don't touch that stuff..I just stick with my ___fill in the blank" and if you are comfortable with yourself..you'd be amazed how well it works!! I actually had drug dealers telling me "good for you..yeah I need to quit this sh*t too" LOL!! Btw..I didn't inhale *noone even knew* lol
if they're having a good time w/you..it's cool ~ otherwise..they are insecure & anyway..it's truly loserish *DON"T COMPROMISE YOUR FUTURE OVER TURDS!!* Good Luck!!
I'd say that you have indirectly answered your own question by not 'following the crowd.'
It takes far more personal character to hold to your values as you obviously realize that you should, than to give in to the pressure of your 'follow-the-leader' friends who will, in years coming along realize what big mistakes they made.
By then, it will be too late for them.
Don't let them drag you down to their level of weakness.
My wife has never tried any drug. She went through exactly what you are experiencing as a teen and young adult. The bottom line is that getting high is really not that big of a deal, people just try to pump it up because the status makes them feel better about themselves. When you are older, you will not feel regret for not trying drugs, rather a pride that you were one of the few who had enough guts, who had enough resolve, to make you OWN decisions. ANd in that, you will find endless satisfaction. Be strong now, and you will only be stronger later.
hey megz
i think you should really learn the definition of friend/s....
a true friend would never want you to get in trouble with your family or anything else(school / law).... and they would never want you to develop a menthal illness just to get high for a while.... might be an exciting expirience at first... but trust me you'll ruin everything there is good about you....
i am not suggesting you to stop talking with them... but just think of this... when some thing bad happens to you which one of the pot heads will be there for you while they are all high and stuff....
just cause people asking you to do things doesnt mean that you have to... just act mature about it....
ciao
Okay, first of all if you took the time to ask this question at least you have taken the time not to do it yet. Peer pressure is the worst enemy for a young teen. Second, if they ask you to and expect you to then they are not your friend.
Drugs are not going to anything for you but take away your memory and destroy brain cells that you will never, never be able to get back.
Stand up on your own two feet and stand up to them and let them know whatever they do does not mean you have to follow in their footsteps.
Be a leader not a follower!
if you have any doubts then dont do it
yes you should do it. high = fun. fun = friends. friends = sex. sex = good high fun w/ friends.
If you want to take risks, try bungee jumping or sky-diving. Drugs are not for courageous risk takers. Drugs are a chemical coping mechanism for people who are afraid of life.
Don't feel like you can't be yourself and keep your friends. Your friends are going through a stupid phase in their lives that most of them will grow out of. Besides, people who do drugs always need a sober friend to drive them home from parties! Let your friends do what they want. Continue to do the things that interest you, and invite your friends to join you. If they're not interested, make more friends.
I've graduated from school. Lots of the people I know who did drugs when they were younger regret it now. I don't know anyone who regrets not doing drugs.
Don't do it cause others want you too do it cause you want to, you have the rest of your life for "experimenting". If you do and you decide it's not for you never ever be ashamed to admit that it wasn't for you. Believe me when you get older and start dating you'd be suprised at how many people rather date someone who isn't a "stoner" or "weedhead". A lot of people find it unatractive.
Hey, you have to make the choice. Clearly, you don't WANT to get high, otherwise you wouldn't even bother asking. So if you don't want to, then DON'T! If someone offers, just say no thanks! If they diss you for that, then you have a tough call to make, but really, they might just respect you for honestly saying that you aren't interested. If nothing else, you can say "No thanks, that leaves more for you!"
why are they pressuring you?? they can't be your friend and accept you the way you are? wanna be young, crazy and take risks... take up an cool sport like snowboarding or motorcross. who do people look up too and think are cool? shaun white and tony hawk... not some pot head loser sitting on his couch all day!
It sounds to me like you have a really good head on your shoulders. If these are in fact your friends, they will not pressure you in to doing anything you don't want to do. Stay strong and stay away from drugs.
Do anything crazy and fun, as long as it's not illegal. Smoking pot and getting high is illegal, and that's a big risk for you to take, ESPECIALLY when you're doing it out of peer pressure.
If they pressure you even when you've said no several times, consider if they are really your friends because they're making you very uncomfortable. Which friends are not supposed to do.
Yeah go smoke a joint with your friends and then huff some air freshener and gas so you can be cool like them. Then go shoot up and snort some "unknown" powdery substance. YEAH... then you'll be cool like all those other losers. If they are REALLY YOUR FRIENDS then wouldnt be pressuring you. Just say NO thanks!
I think you should just walk away , imagine how crushed your family will be if they found out, and life would be horrible in jail..... just say no and walk away, and pray for you friends who get high
