okay so.. i am a 15 year old girl. i have 2 best friends, and when they go to parties they drink. i havent been to a party w/ alcohol yet, and they said they want to get me drunk. i really dont want to. i could just start talking to them less, and make more friends.. but aths the hard part. alot of teens drink because they think its cool, and they want to fit in. my friends dont have problems with alcohol, they just think its fun to drink. i told them, no, i dont want to get drunk,whats fun about puking and falling everywhere and not even remembering anything? there not alcoholics or anything tho. i kinda have trouble making new friends cause im kinda shy. i mean with certain people i talk to them and we just click and were friends but with most peole its like... umm.. akward. should i just try to make new friends? or just never go to parties. please help. OH and also, what are some ways to be at ease with people and make new friends easliy? thanks!

its just hard to make new friends because everyone already has their cliques now. and people judge others.

One of the most obvious signs of immaturity among folks of your age group for adults is the drinking to excess that some kids feel compelled to do. Responsible adults don't go drink until they throw up. So all that you are doing is showing that you are more mature than your friends. I know that, subconsciously, they will resent that and try to talk you into their behavior because they need approval for what they are doing. I would encourage you to stick by your guns on this. I know it won't be easy. It wasn't for me, but I am so glad I did not waste my self-esteem by going out and getting drunk just to prove something to a bunch of underage and immature children. I hope you will feel that way too.

Be yourself and don't do anything you don't wish. Go out and just be open and talk to people where you like to go and have fun.
