School, homework, sports, movie theater, part time work, and time at home with your family will find a safer venue for friendships

Think about the lives devastated by drugs......thinks about the fact that drug traffic fiance terrorism in South American Countries and all around the world.
Think about the fact that you can get raped if you're under the influence and will have no control of what your so called friends can do with you, think about the fact that you will spend all this money buying drugs and you can actually buy nice things for you. Think about the fact that your friends will always be losers and you are going to have a better future that these idiots!

yeah, these people are not you rfriends their kids with depression and no outlet. Next time they pressure you just stand up abruptly, look desperate & say : "look! I spent three years in Juvi for pushin' Ganja behind an elementary school, I almost DIED! Not to mention my addiction to speed and diet pills! If I start this crap again now, I'm looking at a long life of no job, no family, and bad skin, and all you guys will have grown out of it when I'm sitting on the side of the road asking people for dimes!!! Arrrgh!!!"
Don't you know how to dramatize your way out of this kind of thing? They'll think you need their help to sta off the booze and drugs, so they'll all quit to encourage you.
good luck.
no... I'm serious... try it.

You'll have pressure always, everywhere you go, and not just with drugs, you'll have them with SEX too. So what is the solution? RESPECT- yes respect- If you respect yourself everyone around you will also respect you. If they are truly 'friends' they have to respect you when you say NO!
Tell them that you are their friend and that if drugs is what they want you respect that but you don't want anything to do with this. If they don't respect you then look the other way and find new friends. Remember not everyone is a TRUE FRIEND!

Simply put just say no if the people that are asking you to do them do not respect that then they are not friends at all ... Trust me Ive seen it all & watched alot of lives be destroyed by them! I have always said NO & found out who my real friends were by doing so , no one needs people like that in their lives you have alot going for you Im sure & by doing drugs you will eventually have nothing ! So just the fact that you asks the question tells me you dont want to do this so dont!

Just keep saying NO and suggest doing something else with them, something that does not involve doing drugs. Let them know it is not what you want to do and if they were your friends they would stop pressuring you to try it.

If you're still a minor, living at home, just tell your parent(s) that you're having trouble saying no to drugs. If they love you, and I am sure they do, they'll help you out by keeping you accountable.
If you don't want to do that, you really don't want to say no. Right?

Be smart, keep saying no, live in a natural way.
Just like the song: I had a friend who said all the time.... take this man.... oh you will feel just fine.... it took not great mind to see he was no friend to me.... drugs aren't fresh and drugs aren't cool.
Good luck.

look if your friends are putting pressure on you to do stuff you don't want to do then you should make a decision and stick with it. The best decision of course is to keep your friends, limit interaction with them when they are doing stuff you don't want to and keep yourself happy and healthy. If they don't get the idea that you don't want to participate then find friends who actually respect you.

Just keep saying no. Mention what it does to your brain and body. Do some research. Also, if they're druggies, they're probably not the best friends you could have. Consider other people
