i have a few friends who are really into smoking alcohol and weed and they are constantly trying to get me to smoke and drink with them i was just wondering if this is normal
This happens all the time. Damn it annoys the crap out of me. Also makes me worry about my more impressionable friends.
Some people just love pushing their ideals onto others...
It's normal, but they aren't "good" friends if they refuse to respect your decision.
I gave in to peer preasure once, but it wasn't anything bad. It was when I was about sixteen, I got in to smoking by someone saying I should try it, so I did. Unfortunatly I continued for about two to three years, but stopped easily.
I remember when someone tried to convince me to smoke weed. I laughed in their faces. Teenagers can be so ignorant!
Yeah; unfortunatly this is normal considering this happens a lot, but remember, you don't have to follow through.
Do it Do it Do it Do it Do it. Jokes ;) But still it's one of them things in life you like or hate. I love the both and it's a good way just to forget about life for a bit
Bad friends, but it is normal -_- Fuck society! I don't think you can smoke alcohol tho... only burn it... I mean give it a try but ditch those friends. Just be prepared to lose your virginity if you drink, and stay away from cops if you can get in trouble(depending on laws). Stay at home and watch a comedy unless you're prepared to face the consequences.
Then they aren't your friends.
unrelated: wow, there's a lot of people with purple usernames ...
I wanna smoke alcohol! How do you do that? Do you soak the weed in alcohol then smoke it?
Hahaha seriously though, it's normal. Your friends are enjoying themselves and think that you would also enjoy yourself more if you joined them. It's not bad, but if someone gives in easily to peer pressure it could be.
I always offer, sometimes I'll push one of my friends if I know they drink and I wanna drink with them, but I would never make anyone do anything they truly didn't want to.
What you put into your body is a personal decision, I'm not gonna make that decision for anyone else. If someone had never drank or smoked before and came to me with curiousity, I would definitely share with them, and more than that be a good guide since they're a first timer.
I've taken people on first highs, first drunks, and first trips. I'm a very responsible sitter when I'm responsible for someone else getting inebriated.
yeah, it's normal. I definitely got pressured into drugs when I was in HS. I started saying no, and had friends drop like flies. lol eh. be careful. stick to what you believe in.
It's normal but if they can't respect your decision to abstain then they are not people that you need to be hanging around.
Wait, your friends are smoking alcohol? Like, with a vaporiser?
If you don't want to use any of those substances, just tell them that and ask them to back off about it. If they don't respect your feelings about that, and if it really bothers you, then you should consider getting new friends.
For whatever reason, people who smoke or drink or take drugs feel uncomfortable doing it around people who aren't doing it. I include myself in that because I know how it feels. I wouldn't encourage somebody into doing something if they'd never done it, but my friends and I have all encouraged each other to drink when one of us felt like it and the other didn't.
Seriously? I've had people encourage me to drink or smoke cigarettes, but I've never had anybody try to push weed or any other drugs on me. People offer, but if I say no, they're fine with that. I guess it depends on your group of friends. Maybe people are more cautious here, too.
