Answer 1

You can't stop anything bad happening to them if they are stupid enough to keep doing it. If you want to remain friends with them then do so, but odds are if you aren't drinking/partying and they are you are going to end up drifting away from them anyway (which wouldn't be such a bad thing). You are smart enough to know that the stuff they are doing is stupid and wreckless, now be smart enough to get away from them if they don't stop.

Answer 2

Its great that your above the influence and I'm really glad your making the decision to not drink at this age! When your a minor, you can die from having all that liquor! Its bad for people our age to do it because its basically poison! When adults do it, they get drunk. If kids do it, they die. People go to the hospital everyday because of this and die in the emergence room since they have to pump all the crap out of their stomachs before it hits their blood stream. Try telling your friends this. Its ok if you have a sip from your parents drinks once or twice a week, its good for the hear (I mean wine). You should take care of your friends the way you do. I'm sure they will thank you some day. You're all they've got! If they don't I'm sure someone like the Police will! Its good to hear that someone is actually smart in this world! I hope this helps! Keep up the good work! :-)

Answer 3

14 ? You are wayy too young to drink! I don't believe you would get hooked nessessarily, but you really have no business drinking. If your "friends" drink at age 14 or even 15 you need to find urself some new friends. I'm almost an alcoholic and didn't start drinkin' til I was like 16 or 17.

Go find something constructive to do and don't waste your time on people just trying to bring you down.

Answer 4

i do not drink underage yet i imagine the authorities ought to replace some thing both the eating age or the age to bypass into the military because how come an 18 year old youngster can bypass into the military yet cant have a bear after he basically watched someone get shot? So i imagine i'd replace the age to 21 to be able to bypass into the military.

Answer 5

It is very hard to stand up to peer pressure. Keep it up
Don't ever let anyone feel like you have to join what they are doing just to have friends. You can't stop them from drinking,
or getting stoned, but perhaps you can be a good example will have others . Do not be around them when they are getting stoned or drinking. Good Luck

Answer 6

Don't give in to peer pressure. Weed makes you tired, lazy, and messes with your short-term memory. I would drink in moderation if you go to a party. Guys will try to get you drunk so that they can take advantage of you (date rape). Plus, I don't know if your body is fully developed (probably is at 14), but drinking a lot could stunt your growth. Good Luck. If you don't want to lose your friends, telling them what you think about their bad habits may make them mad. Definitely take care of yourself, and if you really care about a close friend, tell him/her what you think about drinking/marijuana. But, expect them to maybe get mad--that is a cost. Highschool goes by fast, and then, you'll be moving on to college or working (there's less peer pressure there--unless you join a sorority).

Answer 7

Whatever you do don't drink. If you get drunk and something happens it can ruin your life. A good idea is if your going to a party and people pressure you to drink go to the bathroom and dump out the drink in the sink and fill it up with water. Go back to the party and just drink the water. But please don't drink.

Answer 8

whatever you do, don't let that make you start drinking. Alcohol is a bad thing if you don't know HOW to drink it and drink it responsibly. Try hanging out with new people and slowly blend out of your current group. I like that quote that goes: "Show me your friends, and I'll tell you who you are"

Answer 9

i been there. i was just like you.. but i never gave in to anything.. i just told them about all the bad stuff.. do you have health class yet? well it was around the time i had health as a class. we learned alot.. and i would repeat it to my friends and they stoped. i keep telling them its bad.. and they finally got it. now its not as bad as before.. plus when they quit they are much happier.. dont give up on your friends just tell them what might happen to them if they continue

Answer 10

You could stay friends with them but you don't have to do what they do. Personally, I think you have the right attitude which is very mature and a sensible choice as it is in your best interest. You can't, however, impose your choices on others.
