So, my friend wants me to hangout with her tomorrow (Friday). She says that we were gonna tell her parents that were going to the movies (lieing), and have some boy pick us up..idk what to do. She said were gonna drink. Were 15 years old..I just dont feel comforable. What should i do? (link)
TRUST YOUR GUT! Right now it's telling you that this is a bad situation and NOT to go. You can get in all kinds of trouble with underage drinking and you know that.

Also, you don't know these boys from Adam and what their intentions are. They may be standup gentlemen but they may also be the kind of jerks to take advantage of you especially if not sober.

I would treat this like what your parents told you eons ago about strangers. If you don't know these guys don't get into a car with them or set yourself up for something you can't control.

Maybe your friend knows them and maybe it's okay despite the bad decision on drinking but why take a risk? Simply tell her that your parents need you to go somewhere that night or tell her you love hanging out together but don't feel comfortable with people you do not know, cars, and alcohol. Even if she doesn't "get it" you know you did the right thing.

Also, lying to your parents about where you will be and with whom is stupid to be brutally honest. Imagine if there were an emergency and they needed you and you weren't where they were told you would be. You would lose their trust from there. Do the right thing and decline.
