this weekend brought a really big shock for me. i found out that a couple of my friends that i think very highly of have gone as far as 3rd base (theyre 14-15) and then my best friend ever whom i look up to has tried pot (didnt like it) and got drunk at a party (shes 18)
now i'm not trying to force them to stop doing these things, its their life and their body, but it deeply disturbs and saddens me. i understand that this is very common behavior in high school (i'm homeschooled) but like the most smartest people i know have done that.
how do i deal with this? i just really have a hard time imagining them doing these things, its almost like its their alter egos. idk.
oh ya ps they arent lying about it... trust me on this.
any feedback would be mucho appreciated. if it helps the furthest i've gone was making out (link)

it can be surprising when smart people do that.. but really there is no real label for people who drink/smoke pot/go to 3rd. sure they could be losers going nowhere fast, but as you have already said this is not the case with your friends. if you think about it, it really isn't that bad... i mean what are you going to learn in 3 years that will make it so much more acceptable to get drunk. ... and pot is just illegal because it is used solely to get high (even though you can get drunk off of alcohol it can also be used in moderation) ... so its not like she is really harming her health /getting addicted since she didn't even like it. and with the 3rd base thing... kids are going to do what they want to- even if they might regret it later. chances are though, your friends were in good relationships and not just doing that with any random guy. i understand that you are concerned but truth is they'll all be fine... and if it gets to a dangerous point, just make sure you are there for them. it doesn't sound like they're trying to make you do anything though so just stay focused if you know that you want to avoid those things. but just keep in mind its not the end of the world! best of luck to you.
