I went to a friends house and watched a movie. While there, she smoked something other than tobacco. Then she asked me if I thought she was a bad person. The others around me think I believe myself to be above them because I don't smoke or do drugs or anything. This isn't true, but it's hard to listen to all the time...where do I start over? To find some people who actually appreciate me?

Next time do not go hang out with them and if she ask something like that again tell her bad person no pot head yes but I'm not here to judge you or be judged by you just because you choose to live your life on a cleaner path doesn't give them the right to act that way towards you.. find a new set of friends because these sound like losers

Sounds like you are getting alot of peer pressure for not joining in like the rest. I commend you for standing firm and not giving in like the others have. You said yourself that it is getting hard to listen to all the time,,,then that feeling should tell you that you need to find some new friends. Because you will get tired of hearing it and will eventually just try alittle to start off with if you keep hanging around with the same people. You become who you hang around with. If you want to find some people that really appreciate you, then volunteer at places where they are less fortunate than you. And you will meet kids your age that have high standards in life like yourself. You can work with the Deaf/Blind and believe me they really need volunteers. But don't let that fool you, they can do more than you realize. Ceramics, Jewerly, Clubs, Yoga, Bingo, Word Processing, Keyboarding, the list goes on. You can also volunteer at a VA or local hospital and alot of kids do. So there are many alternatives that may not "sound" cool but once you discover more about yourself than just sitting around smoking the wacky tobaccy, get high on life you will thank yourself when your older. Oh and just one other fact to think about, alot of jobs now ask for a urine sample. Most people don't think about it but, if you give maryjane a try, she will show up in your sample 30 days later. Then they can find it in hair follicles months later.

I am really proud of you! Do you girl. I smoke every day but I would never pressure some one to do it (more 4 me) --Some one that will try to get you to do some thing you don't want to do is not the best Friend for you. Find friends who share you same int rests is all. You should focus on school. All that other stuff will be around later in life.There is no rush! School is cool.Stick to you dissuasion I think you made a good one!

Maybe you need a new crowd to hang out with. I mean, if they can't respect the fact that you just don't do drugs, and that you don't think you're above them, you just choose not to, then...Maybe it's time for new friends
If you wanna try and make it work with these friends, you could try to sit them down and talk to them (when they're not high). Tell them how you feel, and see if things change.
If that doesn't work, I hate to say it, but you might have to ditch them.

If you don't want to smoke then don't smoke and don't people pressure you into it. As for finding more friends you have to get out there. School/work, neighborhood, friend's friends

The first step to finding new friends is disassociating yourself from your druggie acquaintances. Don't hang around with them, don't converse more than is minimally civil. Cultivate acquaintances that share your values and interests.
Real friends are out there. Keep looking until you find them and they find you. Best of luck.

got to find a different crowd of people with interests more similar to yours.
but there will always be those few who like to do stuff like that. Don't take it personally, they are just trying to be the one making you feel like the odd one so they don't have to feel that way.
