Don't. You should never feel like you have to because of other people. Do what you think is best for yourself.
Explain to them why you don't want to smoke. Though I think it is sad that you will need to explain to them in the first place. They should of respect your decision in the first place.
If they wanted you to join them in jumping off a 100 foot high tower, would you even hesitate to say no?
You must be true to yourself and do what YOU think is right, not what your friends want.
I think pot is a great thing, (I've been smoking 50 years) but at your age, with years of school left, it is just stupid to smoke pot now. Smoking pot will make staying in school and getting good grades much, much harder.
There will still be plenty of pot available for you to smoke when you finish school.
Don't do it because THEY want you to, do it because YOU want you to. Alternatively, don't do it at all and be proud that you have the ability to deny social pressures and think for yourself :)
Why would you do what other people say? You have your own mind, don't you?
It's just like everything else in life. You'll enjoy it way more if you save it for marriage. I'm super cereal.
Peer pressure. I guess you never figured out what this was. Just because they are idiots does not mean you have to be one. Secondly schools don't usually take too kindly to this type of thing and you wouldn't want to be suspended.
Do what you want not what others say. Make up your own mind and don't let them lead you astray. You are too important for that.
Smoking at your age can have disastrous effects on your developing brain. I've seen first hand working in a group home how a perfectly normal person to begin with can turn crazy from smoking marijuana. It might seem cool now, but if your friends keep it up they will lose everything that makes them cool: their looks, personalities, intelligence, and friends will all be gone in 10 to 20 years.
Hey bud, I've been smoking weed for 4 1/2 years, and I can definitely say it will do a number on you. For a long time through grade school, my grades dropped, I was skipping school and staying up late. It really isn't worth it to smoke whilst still in school, value your education as much as possible. Smoke when you're all settled down and you can financially support yourself because weed can and will, take all of your cash.
Don't bother. Trust me. I used to smoke it nearly every day and now I don't at all.
If you truly want to do it, and you want to for your own reasons, try it. Don't try it and get it into it just cause some mates are teasing you about it.
Your "friends" just want to drag you down with them. If you don't smoke weed all the time like them, you have a higher chance of doing well in school, college, work, interpersonal relationships, and life. Almost forgot life.
