No drugs at 16?

[Anonymous]

I used to be at your place.

People your age usually are « I was totally drunk last night, I blacked out » and you feel so far away from what they say without the will to give it a try because it is so not normal.

You have to chose between friends and your life.

You can be sure that if you go down that path, you will have to drink alcohol and smoke marijuana first, then hard drugs and at the end you will not even know the name of what you consume. Seriously do not do drugs. Stay away from those people. After the end of your studies it will be over.

I went through an engineering school and I can tell you the students still do drugs and stops, for some of them, when they have children.

I was drunk one time, alone at home. It was really funny at first, but then once your are over the hump, over the funny part, you feel like shit and you cannot stop vomiting. The effects lasted 2 days before going back to normal. So 30 minutes of joy against 2 days of hungover

If you really want to know the feeling give it a try with alcohol only. Personally I swear to myself not to drink again because of the vomiting and not feeling good during 2 days.

You're still very young, and someone who does drugs at 16 is pretty much a lost cause in my eyes, and will go down a really dark path later on. Sometimes they're able to get out, but most often they're not. You should follow your current habit of not inducing in all of that for much longer in order to consider yourself a little bit on the safer side. Some people pick their vices at a really late age, but most do so in their teens or their twenties, from what I've seen. Alcoholism and drug abuse can really fuck you up, and it all starts with peer pressure, boredom, or the need to explore pleasures of all kinds. Sex addiction can also be a dangerous thing, so be careful with that one too. Usually they all go together these days

Everytime i travel back to Europe to meet my family I have trouble making friends my age because I do neither of those and I guess people assume I'm plain and boring so usually it's a lonely month for me here. If I ever get along with some it's the rare 12-14 kids whose childhood wasn't ruined by social pressures yet lol. Plus they're not awfully intimidating and really friendly.

I’m the same way, almost everyone in my grade either vapes or at least did weed once. While I’m not very interested in that stuff. Honestly a lot of people don’t seem to care if I don’t do drugs and I’m sure they wouldn’t care if I were to do them either.

It’s literally fine, cigarettes and drugs are cancer to your body, you really don’t need that in you, your doing yourself a favor by not doing any of that. And your mom is a grown woman she knows what she’s doing but maybe if you want to make her stop you can inform her about the dangers it can have on her body or how you feel about smkoking.

If you can say no to drugs and smoking please keep doing it haha. You usually want more after the first time and get stuck in it. Alcohol is fine I guess, just like weed, but just don't do it. I don't think it's worth it and I've tried

I think you are really smart. Those substances are harmful to your health. At your age it is normal to explore yourself and maybe even engage in some risky behavior but maybe drugs and alcohol are not for you and that’s a good thing. There are other aspects of yourself you can explore and there is nothing wrong with you if the areas you explore and the risky behavior you engage in is a bit different than what your peers are doing.

I don't worry about what others do, I concern myself only with what I do- and I don't subscribe to societal norms or expected peer pressures. Neither should you.

I had a ton of fun with drugs and alcohol while I was in my teens and I was lucky enough to get out unscathed. Even though my experience was positive I would still say wait until you are older if you end up wanting to try anything.

It’s not unusual to not use drugs and alcohol at your age and honestly it sounds like you’re overthinking it. It’s not a big deal and none of your peers care as much as you do that you’re abstaining.

Keep those morals and dont let anyone talk you into doing anything against your will.

[Sylvanas_Windrunner]

Literally nothing wrong with doing that. You're doing your body a favor

[Regmorus]

Being drug free is a good thing.
