Q: I'm in high school, 15/f, a freshmen and it seems like everyone in my school besides me drinks and does drugs. I will NEVER drink or do drugs because it ruins your life...but at lunch one day, my friends were all talking about how they went to one of my friends house, let's call her A, and how A's mom was home and they still got away with drinking vodlka and beer and getting crunk together. Only one of my friends had a sip of vodkla and nothing else at the party but all of the sudden I was sooo mad. The day before the party, my friend who only had a sip of vodlka [lets call her F] was like, to A, "yeah, I'll have a drink, and I'll get close to drunk." and A was like, "F! I am sooooo proud of you! You don't know how proud I am of you that you are going to get drunkk!" and I got sooo mad at that I just bursted out and said to A, "Why is that something to be proud of?!" and A was like, "Because F swore off everything remotley related to drinking and drugs, so I am sooo proud of her that she even said that right now." and I was like, "well, I'm not going to drink and I'm not doing drugs." and everyone at the lunch table just looked at me except for my other friend, lets call her S, agreed with me. Then I didn't go to A's party and Monday I heard some pretty bad stories like of the people getting drunk and how they got it all on video...it like made me mad.
I'm mad, and I thought higher of my friends and now they all think I'm a loser, except for F and S, because I don't want to drink and do drugs. What should I do? any comments will be greatly appreciated and thanks ot all of you who read all of that because I know it was confusing and long.

I'm a junior in high school and I do not drink or do drugs. It's high school though. People are young, they want to experiment. Have I smoked pot before? Yes. Have I tasted alcohol before? Yes. Have I ever been drunk? No.(Don't worry, I am not condoning it at all. I'm just saying...) And I've found that you are going to have some friends that have different morals than you and will want to drink on the weekends or snort a few lines of cocaine. Guess what though? They don't remain your friends for long. It's going to create problems in the friendship down the line, and you are going to realize that it changes them. What should you do? I mean, do you really want to remain friends with people that jump for joy when someone wants to get drunk with them? That should answer your question. You just started high school, there are so many new people that you are going to meet that share your views and respect your morals. Really, you just have to wait until you find them. I promise though, it'll be worth it.
