"His fear was transferred upon you."

I would argue that this was just me, and my inherent sense of self-preservation. Most people have that! I certainly wasn't thinking of how it would hurt him, save in some small part: it was more that I didn't like the idea of having my limbs broken or being choked to death with my own shirt (since the collar of a shirt is always the last thing to tear, don't you know). I understand what you are saying, but that isn't my experience.

"People don't realize that drugs are dangerous. There is something inherently different between the two situations."

This I will accept: I'm pretty sure everyone's classmates in high school went through a phase where they all did that chest compression thing to bring on a head rush.
