I am 15 and I hate the idea of getting drunk and taking drugs, I really don't see the point. I am also terrified of the thought of people throwing up.
The problem is everyone in my year seems obsessed with that.
How do I go through my teenage years not being a loser, but avoiding all that?
I have loads of friends but I dont really want to go to all those parties.

Contrary to popular belief I was 15 once. I ran with a group of kids who were like you. We liked parties, but if it got stupid (excessively loud, fights, lots of drunks, property damage) we left. None of us wanted to go to jail or deal with our parents. We were a pretty mature group of kids. I'm sure there are others who feel as you do.

If you make your choice of not drinking and you don't, you're not a loser. What you're talking about is not to be looked down as a loser. Quite a conundrum. In order not to be a loser in the eyes of the others, you have to be a real loser.
Real life is not easy, the choices you have to make for your life are not easy. But that's life, though choices that you're going to pay for all day everyday. The easy way is not making choices and not being responsible for them. You can go through life like that (many did, do and will do) but that's not your life anymore.
That's the choice you have to make. Freedom and responsibility or living an easy life where someone else make the choices for you.

You could still go to parties but make an exit when things start to get a bit hairy, people honestly don't really notice, they are having too much of a good time. Not everyone drinks excessively and takes drugs seek out those people like you xx

find the other people who feel the same way
they're easy to find - the morning after the party, they're the ones NOT talking about it
make friends with them and you'll never have a problem
ok, so i lie, but hey
and btw...if any of the drinker druggie group call you a loser for that, either ignore them for tell them where they can stick themselves. the non-druggies are valuable people.

I doubt all your friends are the same.School is a big place.You don't have to stick with the same people or go to the same places all the time.Find someone like minded as yourself.You'll
be surprised how many don't want the same.But just go with the
flow.

Find a group of fun people who don't want to drink and do drugs.
Go to the movies, shopping, whatever you can think of )that's legal).
Just always keep in mind that just because your friends are doing it doesn't mean you have to.

I'm not a teenager, but I go to the local car races. Lots of excitement, you can take your friends, and you don't have to drink to have fun.

Go to church. You won't find cussing, swearing or wild sex parties or drinking going on there.
