I have the best friends ever... but the only problem is they ONLY party, get drunk, and do drugs. I on the other hand dont and dont want too. I know it would be fun to go to a party and get drunk. But my last experience was horrible and i want to party sometime but im afriad i'll have another bad experience and regret it. (also haven't drank any alcohol in over a year) I don't think my friends find me fun because id rather sit home then go out and party. should i try to party a few times or just do what i usually do and spend time home?

I don't know your age, but I'm assuming you're under 21. If that's the case, then not only is drinking illegal (as well as doing drugs), but it will cause people to lose respect for you, not trust you, and if you're caught, land you in some serious trouble with the law. Besides, you clearly don't enjoy it, so why force yourself to drink just to please your friends? Be selfish. Do what you want to do. It's your life, you have the right to choose not to screw it up. Who cares if your friends don't think you're fun? Find some new friends. Not only do you want to be assosciated with these people who have no regard for their safety, others' safety, or the law, but you need to be aware of how your decisions could affect your life too.

The people who want to party and get drunk and the people who DONT and find it stupid and a waste of time. Alot of people only drink in high school to be cool and fit in with everyone else. Theres only a small percentage of people who actually like to drink..alone. Its a social thing! You dont have to hang out with your friends if you KNOW theres going to be alcohol. But, you might want to rethink this. (Im not saying you should drink, Im saying you should try to get past the fear of regret.) Which basically means youre afraid to drink because of one bad experience. Unfortunately, I hope you know youre missing out on good times and high school experience. But, I dont want to tell you you should drink because its very bad! I think you should find some friends that dont drink but still keep the ones that do. Try to do fun things with them so they know youre not boring. (Other than partying.) Like a huge sleepover or something. Whatever it is, dont give up your values!
