drugs/alcohol
Im 15 female
A lot of my friends like to drink and smoke pot. I don't like it. I had my fun with that already, I smoked pot when i was in 6th grade and stoped when i saw my brother get locked up for it. Yeah and i had my experience with alcohol i drank and i puked my guts up and now i wont ever drink again. well at least not til im old enough. But anyway my friends are always drink like on the weekends and they always ask me to go but i just go to my boyfriends house and hang out and what not. I always find my self thinking that im better than that and i don't want to ruin my life with that stuff.
Is this normal because i always thought that teenagers will like to drink and get in trouble and just do bad stuff just to make a laugh? Am i abnormal?

No you are not abnormal you are just fighting peer pressure which is difficult for teens so Go You!!

Of course its normal. Most teens don't think drinking is cool. The others that do tend to end up getting into trouble and they're reputation ends up messed up. There are other ways to have fun that doesn't include drinking. You did the right thing to stop doing drugs and try to avoid them. Don't think that it's not normal. Hope I helped you.

Define normal.
I know quite a few of teenagers who drink and smoke weed. I also know quite a few who don't. It's up to you whether you do or don't, neither choice makes you normal or abnormal.

Woah honey...stop right there. If anything, you're the only one who's normal. You're making decisions that will affect your future...in a positive way. Drinking is for when you're 21....and drugs...they just fuck you up. You are smart enough to realize this. Sure you can still hang out with your friends who do this, but if they ever try to force or peer pressure you into doing it, then you should drop them. It's not worth getting locked up for something that you never even wanted to do in the first place.
Good luck sweetie.
Listen to your conscience.

I envy you. I agree with everything you say. I think it's so stupid to do drugs and drink. I mean honestly, what good do you get out of drinking? Being drunk for an hour? Is it really worth getting drunk and doing something stupid or doing drugs and doing something you'll regret later? No. It's also illegal and not good for your health. You are better than that. You will get no where in life doing drugs or drinking.

You are normal for wanting to not drink and when you get ur license you can go with just be the driver and then you will have a specific reason for not drinking. I think that if you do things like that means you dont think you have anything else in life so most people drink and smoke to avoid things like that. You sound like you are sure of yourself and i dont think you should do those things if you know it is wrong.Alot of teenagers like to drink but you shouldnt just bc your friends do it.

Your not abnormal at all your going the smart way and i think that is good. It shows that you dont give into peer pressure, and after what you have gone through i can see why.

You are absolutely not abnormal! I think it's much better that you would rather hang out with your boyfriend than go get drunk and high when you're way underage! I understand you've had your share of pot and booze, but I applaud you for turning away from it. My dad and I were talking about it last night... about how easy it is to die from drugs. Did you know that the first time you smoke crack, you have a 50% chance of having a heart attack and dying? The percent only gets larger as you continue to smoke. My dad has known several people get locked up and some who've died because they did drugs.
I don't like to get in trouble... because you can always make the choice, but you don't always get to choose the consequences. See, if you choose not to gou out and drink and get high on the weekends, you might lose a friend or two, and you might be made fun of, but you won't get busted for drinking or doing drugs, and you will be closer to your boyfriend, right? But if you choose to do drugs and get drunk on the weekend, your friends might love you, but you might lose your boyfriend, your life, or your freedom.
It's your choice. You are better than that. You don't need to ruin your life. :)

Not abnormal just sounds like you've got your head screwed on! You've been there, done it, decided it's not for you. Who cares if other people are doing something different to you? You not drinking or smoking pot makes you happy right? Well keep going as you are then! Too many people in this world get swept along with what they think is "cool" whether it's what they want to do or not and i bet if a lot of teenagers were truely honest they'd say they did this stuff to "fit in." Keep on as you are and good for you!

no you are not abnormal. you just have common sense not to drink and smoke. and teens do like to get in trouble and goof off but there is a fine line between goofing off and hurting yourself.
]
no your smart. dont ruin your life with that stuff.

no. i'm exactly the sam as you. i see no point in it. what good comes out of any of that but a good feeling for a little while? alcohol does nothing but get you in trouble. drugs can do the same. and they both mess you up. be smart and stick to your beliefs. respect your friends' decisions too..but also look out for them. maybe also make some friends that have the same belief as you. that doesn't mean that you have to lose the friends you have though.
if you would like any other advice or you have further questions..drop one in my inbox! i'll be happy to hear from you. =).

There is nothing wrong with finding other ways to be rebellious!
You have done it before and found its not all its cracked up to be. You are smarter that's for sure!
When you think about it, getting drunk and acting stupid...puking your guts up in front of people, saying things better left unsaid, doing things you'll regret when you're sober, Whats really fun about that?
I know kids are going to drink before they're legal. My friends did it too. But, I certainly wouldn't call you abnormal for not doing it.
I think you're just alright kid. :)
