What this guy said, ctk I really can't believe you are alright with having no friends.

Wow, talk about being harsh here.


Alright, for the OP, listen you are not the only one...as it is apparent in this thread. I have never had alcohol (except for medicine for the occasional flu medicine), never smoked a cigarette in my life nor did I do any drugs.

And no, it is not because I think all people who do do it are idiotic. That is a bit harsh. The problem that I see is that if you feel the need to do it, you have to ask yourself...why?

Let's skip the obvious bullshit of "B/c I just wanted to do it" because that is an absolute farce. Nobody does something for the hell of it. The most common reason is b/c you were curious, and that is innocent enough. The obvious second reason would be b/c you see the other people are doing it and you wanted to join in the fun and not be a party pooper. Then the next question is why continue?

After a while, you start to realize how stupid the questions are, but at the same time the answers are pretty foolish as well.

Saying that you are doing it because of the other people are doing it and that is the sole reason is really foolish. That is just peer pressure and believe me: teenagers are stupid enough as it is...the ones who blindly follow those teenagers are even worse. Kinda goes along with "Who is more foolish? The fool or the fool who follows the fool?"

But then when you are older and you continue to take these drugs (which includes the banned drugs, the cigarettes and the alcohol) during a party or a gathering, then in my honest opinion, that is sad...

It is sad because that means you need those drugs just to loosen up and be fun. If you need alcohol just be fun to be around with, then you need to work on a few things. It is easy to just not use any of it and be yourself around people, esp. with friends, and still have fun.

Of course, that is just my opinion...those who feel otherwise have every right to do so...just be warned of the consequences of taking those drugs for they have an effect on you liver and brain cells.

this sounds like your saying that if people dont meet your high moral standards, they arent worthy of your friendship?

SciFiBoy, it's hard to be friends with someone you don't share common interests and such...

@ pakidan

people do these things for any number of reasons, some do them just for fun, others do them to escape problems in there personal lives, some use them as an alternative to dealing with there lives, i mean, who are you or i to judge the shortcomings of other humans

you missed my point, if you have some things in common with people, but not everything, you comprimise, just talk to them about what intrests you do share, its not rocket science.

you cant refuse to make friends with people who do things you dont approve of, hell, most of the people i know have done at least one thing in there lives that i dont approve of, its called being human, we all make mistakes, we all have flaws, perfect people dont exist.

I know people aren't perfect... I sure am not. I personally think it would make things akward if you were with a bunch of people who like to do drugs and party all the time... When you don't like those things at all... I know, I tried but I just couldn't... The friendship faded very quick. When your idea of having a good time isn't the same as others... Well it can make things very hard.

Like I said, it was just my opinion.

But it is a fact that, despite the reasons for using it, that it is detrimental to one's health.

And there are people who don't use any of these drugs for any of the reasons you provided. All that tells me and other people is that these people need these artificial incentives in order to survive through ordinary things...I'm just telling it as it is.

no ur not i dont i dont even take prescription drugs either i see natural healthcare physicians

80% of those who do it do it to fit in which is just sad

Exactly
