What should i do? A lot of my friends in school are smoking pot, and i feel stupid when im the only one not doing it. However, i don't want to start just because everyone else is doing it, but im afraid i might give in soon. Help!

wow- that is a great question...I am 25 and I have to say that I still remember high school as clear as day...I think that you should definitley not have to smoke pot because your friends do...It is 100% a phase and by your senior year it won't be so cool to do it and by college people will still be doing it but no one will care if you do it...They will respect your wishes...the one thing you want to remember is that by not smoking you are staying healthy...also byt the time you get into college you will have found your own identity and your own likes and dislikes...you should never be a follower and should always be a leader so I would say don't bother trying it...I do believe that everyone should make there own decisions so that if something happens you only have yourself to blame...I hope that I have helped you and good luck in life and the decisions you make,..

Smart girl!!!!! If you don't want to smoke pot then don't. Sounds like you have a a good head on you shoulders. I know that they are your friends, but have you ever considered hanging out with a different crowd? If they are truly your friends they will respect your honest decision. If you feel some pressure then make up something. For example, you might want to tell them that you parents drug test you every 90 days (I think pot stays in your system for 90 days). You can also tell them that you volunteer every once in a while in a shelter where everyone is required to be drug tested and you really want to keep your tests clear. If none of that works then seriously think about hanging out with another group of people. GOOD LUCK!!!! I hope that you will always be strong enough not to give in.

Dont. Its expensive. If at anytime someone feels like testing you it will come out in your blood and urine. Imagine someone close to you needs a blood donation (Lord forbid but Ive been in this situation) what are you going to do? Say no because you smoked pot to fit in? Be smarter than them. All smoking does is slow you down, make you fat (cuz ur hungry right away for hours) and kills brain cells. When you want a job ..kiss it goodbye because all jobs drug test now. Kiss your healthy lungs good bye and try finding a good guy. Like ones that dont like smokers. Just be sober and if not already...stay a virgin. Focus on school cuz these are the days that can make you stronger or turn you into a weak follower.

Don't smoke pot. It is a very stupid thing to do. It kills brain cells and makes you lethargic and lazy. It could turn you into a big loser.
If your friends are really pressuring you, you should try hanging out with different people.
Sometimes, friends don't even want you to do it. This way, there is more for them.

No your arm does not shake from pot - he's doing stuff some distance worse. That stated, do no longer do pot. do no longer "do" something. do no longer even drink until you're sufficiently previous. it is basically no longer well worth it - you have have been given your finished existence, and would have plenty greater disposable earnings once you get your first activity. no longer particularly some disposable earnings yet greater suitable than you have now. you could wait some years to commence killing ideas cells. 'factors - drugs mess which contain your ability to accomplish in mattress.

Don't do it. If you do it just because you're left out doesn't make it right. Drugs are, were, and always, ALWAYS will be bad. VERY bad. I agree with everyone else too (except I'm younger, so obviously don't smoke, drink or any other BLAH stuff)

No, you are not the stupid one. They are. I respect you because you are one of the few people that are not smoking pot. Continue to stay away from it.

no...peer pressure sucks but you need to resist it...i started doing drugs when i was younger than you and it lead me nowhere fast....i got popped with my first bag of weed when i was 14, and had to go to juvie...it sucked....and even though it sounds typical, pot is a gateway drug because once you know that feeling you'll more than likely be open to try other drugs...i was and drugs screwed up my life .just say no and your quality of life will be better by far.

ok well I do smoke so I can't be to critical on this but if you don't want to do it then don't do it you should never try anything because you feel left out if it's something your not comfortable doing in the first place
