Hi, I am in high school and one of my "friends" always talks about how he gets high and stuff.
He wants me to try a pill tomorrow and I don't want to but I don't want him to make fun of me.
What should I do? (Even though I pretty much know the answer)

You know the right answer because, unlike your friend, you are a strong person with a good sense of what is right and what is wrong. You should never compromise your standards for acceptance. I am in high school also, so I can relate. I believe that if you make one big mistake like that, your life will slowly spiral downwards. I'm guessing you have hopes for the future, and addiction, emotional problems, and frequent trips to jail are not among them. I urge you to use your head on this decision, it is decisions like these that shape who we are. Your friend really isnt a friend if he is offering you drugs, and you should really let him go if he pressures you to. NO good friend would pressure you to do drugs. I know most adults answering this question wil tell you to try and tell your friend to get help, but I understand what its like to be a teen today. You really shouldnt have anything to do with that friend unless he turns violent, then you must tell someone.
I hope this helped you, and I hope your friend Lays off of you with the peer pressure.
=)

he is not a real friend, (I know everyone will tell you that), but it is true.
Even if he makes fun of you now, in a few years time you will never see him again.
Also don't let them k now it bothers you if they do make fun of you. Just shrug it off and laugh with them as they try to crack jokes at you. I was never part of the cool group at school because I never smoked or swore or drank or did drugs, and I was probably one of the lease popular people in my year. People rarely made fun of me though because I always just laughed back when they tried to laugh at me.
It's now ten years since I left school, and I don's see anyone from there. Also, just because you may have to risk not being part of the 'cool crowd' now by saying no, doesn't mean you will never be cool. Now that I've left school, I have a whole hord of friend's kids all in primary/high school and they all think I'm really cool and want me to hang out with them and take them all clubbing when they're 18, so obviously I can't be that much of an outcast now that I've got older. You will soon find other friends to hang round with that will not try to pressure you.
Dont let them push you into doing it!

Be a man and stand up for what you believe in. Be a leader not a follower never let anyone pressure you to do something you don't want to do. So what if he makes fun of you it's life you'll get over it but doing drugs you'll never get over that.....

You bet your azz you already know the answer...
Tell him to kiss that azz if he makes fun of you! He's definitely not a friend if he's pressuring you to do drugs...so it won't be a loss to disassociate yourself with him.

Don't take it, just tell him your not into that and blow him off. Walk away or change the subject. If he continues to offer tell him to back off. He's not your friend, real friends would never want to hurt you.

Ive been there done, done that. REMEMBER you do as you please. dont let anyone control what you want to do. you have an opinion of your own. YES everyone is curious but that doesnt mean you need to do it. If you feel like you want to go ahead and do it...do it. but dont let anyone be the decision maker in your life but you.

You have balls for a few reasons and this is one of them!!! Stand up for what you believe in, if he is any type of friend then he wont care either way.

Drugs don't make you feel good. They make you feel nothing when you're hurting. Ask him what he's trying to escape?
