Im in 8th grade, well, I went to this 6th grade party and I brought some pills with me. Im NOT a drug addict! I just use drugs every now and then when Im at a party or really pissed off. Some little sixth grade girl saw me take a pill and got really scared. She told these two girls that live very close to me in my neighborhood. I convinced the little girl that they were for a toothache but my other friends know otherwise. Its just two of them and they dont understand that I am NOT addicted to drugs. They keep nagging me about it and they are worried about me. I told them that when the girl found out, It really scared me and that I was not going to do drugs again, but they are like "well, thats what they all say" But the one thing im worried about is they were like "Theres only one way to make sure you dont do drugs again and thats to tell your parents, but we dont want to do that" I just dont want them thinking that I am some druggie. And i dont want to get in trouble.

Druggies started with just one or two here or there, too.
Your friends have every right to be concerned, and the fact that you aren't is very troublesome.
One of my closest friends tried drugs once. Just to see what it was like. Then she was like you. Just once in a while for this or that reason, but of course she wasn't a druggie. But she got addicted - to how she felt when she took that magical pill. And once or twice here or there led to more and more. And soon enough, she was dropping out of high school, and was quite promiscuous....she had sex with so many guys in a short time frame, that she didn't remember who they were, that it became deadly for her.
My ex-boyfriend from high school, same thing. He smoked pot to "relax". And he soon figured he could handle pot (he coudln't), and moved to a stronger drug, Cocaine. And raped me. Yes, my own boyfriend raped me. He turned violent, and my life was in danger. I was lucky to have only been raped considering his rage over not being able to get more drugs.
Seriously, it's frightening that an 8th grader is doing drugs. Makes me hope and pray my 5th grade child doesn't go that route. How do you get them? And what are you goign to do when your parents find out? And if you have parents who don't care, or you get them from your parents, tell soemone.
Do drugs and you miss huge chunks of your life. Seriously. You are worth more than that, anyone is. Your friends have every right to be worried, and to bother you about them. And here's the biggest thing... those two girls that you are upset with? They are TRUE friends. Because if they weren't true friends, they'd not care...but they do. And hopefully you will listen, and stop. And if you need help, just ask someone for it, even yoru school nurse. Trust me when I say people want to help, and will do whatever they can to help you kick your drug habit.

Your friends should tell your parents, you should not be taking pills to deal with being at a party or pissed off.
You will become addicted, and then what are you going to do?
What would have happened if an adult had caught you bringing pills to a party with younger kids? You could have been dragged out of there into a police car and into juvie.
You are playing with something that you shouldn't be. You should not be getting pissed off enough in eighth grade that you have to be taking pills to calm down. You should not have to be taking pills to have a good time or feel accepted at a party.
You need to be speaking to a counselor for you anger and social issues, not popping pills.
What your friends are saying is one hundred percent right, people who do drugs, no matter what the reason, always say that they are not going to do them again once they get caught, and it is rarely true. They just become more and more secretive and find more excuses to use.
Please get help and stop taking these pills. Where are you getting them? If it is something you are buying from a dealer you could be injesting deadly chemicals along with an unspecified amount of the drug. That is how dealers make money by cutting the drug down with other ingredients, they don't care if they kill people by doing so, there are lots of others lining up to pay for more, unfortunately.
Are you taking them from a prescription your parents have at home? You will get caught. The presciption is written for a certain amount of time and a certain dosage and the doctor will notice if the presciption is getting refilled too frequently.
Please stop this before you run your life.

Drugs are not appropriate at any age. You were influencing the girls at the party which is wrong and your friends were worried. You may not be an addict now, but this is how it starts. Its a terrible mistake that has destroyed may lives. GET RID OF ALL YOUR PILLS!!! If you can, find an adult to talk to about it who will listen but keep it a secret like a school consoler or a friends mom. Don't be mad at your freinds for trying to help, but there is nothing wrong with asking them to drop the subject.
As for using the pills for an escape now and then, try sugar, caffeine, or a good slumber party!

Admit that you messed up. Tel your friends the truth, that you made a bad decision, and have learned from your mistake. Then never touch any drug again. Plus, stay away from alcohol. It may seem fun but it will ruin your life. this is from experience.
I started drugs at 12, alcohol at 13.I and nicotine at 11. I managed to drop the drugs, but I still smoke and am an alcoholic at 32. all my hopes and dreams were ruined. I am now a sad, sad person. I am out of shape, poor and do not have a hottie to nail.
So you see, that is not what you want to endup as. fix your life
Now is the time to make bad choices that will follow you till you die. It is not worth it. Tell your parents! they will be upset and very angry, but they love you and will help you get past this problem.

Hey Dallas...Face it! You couldn't give a hoot in hell what those kids or your friends think. You want to play the tough girl but you're afraid they'll tell on you and you'll get into trouble! That's exactly what they should do...tell your parents and anyone else who will listen!
You think you're not addicted to drugs? What 8th grade kid needs drugs to party with 6th graders? Or heaven forbid little Dallas gets ticked off...then she'll really drop those pills for a good reason. You took pills in front of little kids and scared the hell out of them and you're just as much of a little kid as they are! Wise up kid and drop the act. Whatever your problem is...you'd better start to talk about it or you'll end up in the morgue by the time you're "sweet 16."

well i do hope they do tell your parents. and i know you are pissed of about what i just said but trust me someday you will be a parent and you will see anther whole side of this. If you do drugs to feel good at party's or when you are in a bad mood then yes you are addicted. You depend on the pills for you to have a good time at a party or to bring your mood up when you are feeling down. Trust me you do not want to go down this path. I have been there before and i started at your age. one thing lead to anther just so i could have a good feeling. and i end at age 19 i ended up in a rehab coming off of coke, crack,pot and alcohol. So when I tell you stop with the pills I am telling you the truth. and sweetheart you may not like this but you are just a baby yourself

NEVER TAKE DRUGS AGAIN!
STOP TAKING DRUGS YESTERDAY!
TAKING DRUGS DOES NOT MAKE YOU COOL
Kids your age have died from being Stupid and taking Drugs to Fit in.
It is time for you to dump this clan and find a new group of friends, else your Parents, Brothers. Sisters, Aunts. Uncles. Grandparents, Friends, Teachers, classmates will be crying in a Chapel as your last wrights are read.

First off... you take drugs every now and then... or when you are really ticked off. Bad!! I hate to tell you this, it only gets worse. Especially since you take them when you are in a foul mood. Eventually you will be depend to take the drugs to "calm you down."
Your friends are worried about you and they do not want to see you go down the wrong path. Lay off the drugs, because you are doing more harm to yourself than you are helping yourself. I have seen many people screw up there lives with drugs and even alcohol. It is not a pretty site.

Well drugs no matter how often you use them are usually not good for you unless it is precibed by a doctor. Tell your friends that you aren't a druggie and that if they really are your friends they'd back off it's not like you're a drugie. But you need to work on not needing them, you may not use them often but you still use them.

They are much smarter than you and they know right from wrong. If you use drugs at all, you have an addictive personality and it is just a matter of time before you are hooked. Stop now. And I hope they do tell your parents. You need help.
