Drunking, Drugs, whatnot, . Options

[orgasm]

Okay... first things first.

I've never done drugs, I've never smoked, I've never even been TEMPTED to try any of that shit. The only times I drink is when I'm with people I'm comfortable around, and even then, it's just a Pina Colada or a Strawberry Daquiery. Thus, I've never gotten drunk.

Ever since I turned thirteen, I've told myself I wouldn't ever cross that line and do something stupid like that. And I haven't.

But at the same time, so many of my friends have said the same thing and over the past 4-5 years, I've seen them change into people I don't even recognize.

I still want to be friends with them, but why can't they respect me when I say I DONT want to go to a certain party because I know there'll be beer, I'll know there'll be people I don't want to associate myself with, and I know they'll be doing things that they'll regret the next morning...

Nooo, they find it necessary to pressure me to the point where I just snap and tell them to get off my back. And then they get offended.

[_sarcastic_]

just don't hang out with them so much, hang out with your other friends.
you're just asking for trouble if you try to change their minds, let them be, it's their choice, their life.
