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.

First of all, I want to say that I am so proud of you for not compensationg your standards! Sometimes it's hard to be in a situation like that. You will be better off in the end for sticking to what you believe.
Well, I am not in your shoes, but if I were, I would still try to be very respectful of the people that went to the party. They don't have the same standards as you, and maybe that was their first indroduction to the concept that... wow, maybe teenage drinking is wrong! Maybe drugs are more trouble than they are worth. It sounds like S has the same standards as you- I'm proud of her too! But it's about time that you remove yourself from the situation that makes you feel uncomfortable, like this one. You need a group of friends that share your beliefs and support you, so you in turn can support them. You need to sit at a different table. Let your standards be known and hold your head high! Hope I helped.
