Im 15. my best friend is the same age but thinks i need to "relax" and "chill" when im out doing things im not honestly confertable with. Her idea of having a good time is drinking on the streets and smoking but im quite happy to have fun but not break the rules. Just because i have the confidence to say no and stand away so im not "typecasted" the same as them apparently makes me "boring". it really hurts that she thinks that. i don't know what to do because i no she should accept me for who i am but i feel like im not "living" enough and should be prepared to take risks to join in and "have a good time". is it just me? or am i too responsible for my age? if any thing did happen like i got taken home in a police car my parents would be devestated but then again is that a good thing for experience to learn from, then again surely those kind of things should come naturally? im so confussed what do you think?

you're a good gril honey and you need not to fill in the missing link bec. ur not smoking and drinking in the streets.
they tried to cast away you bec. u don't want to join their habits...this is so typical for a peer pressure..
you're doing fine..do what makes you happy :)

Well done for not being a sheep and following the rest of the herd. If your friend is happy drinking and smoking on the streets then leave her to it. From what you have written here I am getting that you are young, confident and intelligent and you know how to have fun but also when to stop and stand aside. Don't let this girl drag you down to her level, you have so much going for you and 'boring' you're not, find yourself a new best friend, somebody more on your level.

You are a leader, not a follower. There is nothing wrong with that. You will accomplish many things, while they sit back and join a crowd. Eventually you day will come to shine. They will be in envy of all you have been able to achieve while they were just following what the crowd did. Dare to be different and tell them that you are proud of being different from the rest.

studying your loved ones is relaxing. i grew to become into happy with my Nieces at Christmas time getting written off and then making a music "i admire the have a lager with Gazza"... and so on and so on... appropriate throughout the time of the full kin making a acceptable rhyme up for each guy or woman. Very humorous. the comparable nieces made me very proud at the instant whilst my dad had a coronary heart attack. they're geographically closer than the different family so as that they took administration of the area, conserving extremely everyone in the loop.

You sound like a fun person to me , as for your so called best friend i think you should make a change there before she lands you in trouble
As for being too responsible there is no such thing , it is what will make you stand out from others in a crowd .

ditch the friend and find one that likes the same things as you and doesnt have a such a small view on fun. hanging round streets and smoking is a bit pants but i think most children do that at some point. or suggest something you would like to do if she is a real friend she wont mind.

You are right your friend should learn to accept you the way you are and my dear, i wouldn't be so much trouble if i were you. At age 15 you are still to young to start smoking. If she cant or they cant accept you the way you are then u gotta find some other friends. Yoy are a very brave and starightforward young girl. Keep it up.
I'm pround of you!!

Ok. This does not sound like a very good friend at all. You just keep being yourself because with your confidence you will get through this and probably become a better person for it. Be true to yourself and life will go smoothly for you.
Take care,

proud of you for standing up to what you believe in and being a responsilbe teenager. yes those things do come naturally but u dont really need to try and be those things if you are not comfortable with it. your best friend is just being herself too on that note, so theres no need be upset about her, sometimes our differences with friends makes us closer. just feel comfortable with what you do, youre least likely to run into trouble and thats a good thing.

do what makes u feel comfortable and what makes you happy. don't change to fit in with anyone else for the sake of it as it will not make u happy or do u any good. your parents are lucky as u sound like you have your head screwed on.
