YAY CRACK!!! :D

[Pikаchu]

[center]So, pretty much all of my friends do drugs. They don't force me to do them but they do offer, each and every time I say; "no thanks" but they don't get the message. What should I do? They're good friends so I don't know.

Also, discuss drugs. [/center]

[JG.]

Well technically, you should obviously report them to the police, or at least tell the school. But I doubt many people would do that to their friends. I certainly wouldn't.

[Legend Zero]

A couple of my friends do as well, but since there are 3 of us who don't it really isn't a problem. Technically you are suppose to do what JG said, but most of my friends are doing it less. (Hopefully they're growing up)

If it's pot, don't worry about it. If it's not...thick s*** you got yourself into right there man. I would probably not talk to them, cause drugs man...nothing good will ever come from drugs.

[Catman25]

Drugs are wiggity wiggity whack. Don't get mixed up into it.

[Juuzou]

[s]Try them.[/s]

Just keep saying no :/

[Pikаchu]

Well to everyone that says "don't do them"; don't worry, because I'm not and never will.

To JG in paticular; they're good people who have lost their way and just ended up doing some bad things. They've been nice to me so it will be pretty uncool if I just ratted them out.

[~ P O L A R I S ~]

[s]Accept and sell them for Yugioh cards.[/s]

[Clair]

If you don't want to rat them out, then just leave them to their own business.

You don't want to be associated with them, do you?

Personally, I think reporting them is the best option. They can get help for their problems and straighten out their lives. Hopefully.

[.Starrk]

Don't hang out with them anymore. You'll just be lured into drugs later.

[Icy]

Once you have bitten into that apple, it stains you. So just remove them (including smokers). Have no mercy on them, including ones of your own kin. At least... that's what I do...

[Azmodius]

Well, just don't get involved. Just weed is okay and alchohol is sometimes fine. The rest can f*** you up.

And JoshIcy: That is seriously messed up.

[Marisa Kirisame-ze]

If any of my friends did drugs, I'd disown them.

Actually, if they're really, really close to me, then I'd help them get rid of it.

But honestly, drugs in the circle and generation of people I hang out with is highly frowned upon. My friends and I live above the influence.

I find nothing wrong and agree with him.


Honestly I agree with what some people said, It would be best to just leave them. You dont want to get caught with them even if you didnt do any drugs.

You sound like you came straight out of a low budget anti-drug commercial.

[GenzoTheHarpist]

What drugs are they? Have you even tried them?

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

You people are the worst at talking about drugs. Seriously. Only a few of you have said anything worthwhile, and others are potentially making things worse than they already are. Obviously this person has a problem with drugs and does not wish to take them. They are asking about what to do with the situation. We don't even know how old this person is.

You could always talk to your friends and tell them about how you don't like them taking drugs, and that you don't want to be involved with them when they're going to do it, along with the usual talk about how drugs are harmful. If it's a serious problem, to the point where it could harm them, such as in the case of hard drugs, I would do what I said previously, and then tell them you can't be friends with them if they continue their behavior. If it's even worse then that, it would be irresponsible for you not to tell a peer or the authorities.

[DARKPLANT RISING]

If you've got good friends who use drugs, there must be good people in your school who don't. Go to them and befriend them instead.

[Seta]

Most of my friends smoke, and some snuff, but I don't care. They have sometimes offered me some, but I never take it. I know what's good for myself and what's not. And they don't usually offer it anymore after I've told them once I don't want it.

But these kids you're talkin' 'bout, I'd suggest reporting them to the police. They could seriously get the help they need.

Josh, you really need to learn to accept some people. Smokers can be just as nice as normal people. One of my best friends is a smoker, and that's fine with me, as long as he doesn't do it while I'm near. He also respects that. So don't hate on people just because of that. It's racism... Sorta.

[Icy]

I do, [u][b]under extreme requirements though[/b][/u]. They are not to do it around me, and not to bring it out near me. Any paraphernalia (is that the right word?) on them that contains images of it is to be removed and given something else to wear. If they smell of it, they are not to be within 6 ft of me at all times.

But that's just the tolerance, anything else is complete neglect.

[LiAM]

I only recommend pharmaceutical drugs or those that a Doctor/professional recommends in order to cure/treat/slow down the production of an illness.
Even then, I'm very hesitant to take antibiotics and other minor pain relief pills or medicines, because I always feel it's more natural and my immune system will grow, even if it's a small accomplishment.

Anyway, drugs are a no. They're a wild craze while in teenage years because it's a symbol of rebellion, not doing what society wants you to do and avoiding the reality of the changes your life is making, both biologically and mentally as you age.

In light of this, I also advise staying from alcoholic drinks as a repeated recreational source. It's good and considered quite normal to go out and have a drink or two. Just know your limits, don't go overboard and make sure you're not addicted. Because alcoholic beverages are one of the biggest killers, directly or indirectly. It's also a big spend of money and destroys many families.

Of course you're fully entitled to whatever life you want to lead, but in terms of schooling, financial support and friendship skills, you will find that staying clean is imperative. You'll soon grow to learn that the people drinking heavily and becoming involved in drugs will be the ones despised and kept away from. They will be forever arguing with their parents, losing friends, and dropping grades, resorting back to their drug use to ease the stress of it all.

If your friends fall out with you because you are refusing, then they're not your friends any more, because a true friend wouldn't do that. Making friends is easy. If your old ones can only occupy themselves with drugs, then you're going to have to follow or leave. You can easily find others who share similar sports or hobbies. I had a very similar situation to you, but I was lucky enough to be friends with many people, and in my case, I just moved groups after telling them straight up "I will never take drugs and if you're going to keep trying to force me, then you shouldn't even be my friend".

Personal opinion, no better than anyone else's, but it is a very common opinion I'm sure most people here (and elsewhere) share. If you do still require some advise, there are career officers, or if not, your headmaster/principal who will give you advise on a confidential basis.

LOL, that was the point.

Ever heard of the "Live Above the Influence" commercials and stuff? :T

Yes, this is correct. It is only teenage rebellers that take drugs. There are absolutely no adults who use drugs, nor are there functional members of society who partake. It's not like Zach Galifianakis just lit up a joint on the Bill Maher show or anything.

I agree, I knew this one kid who was always taking drugs, even extreme hallucinogens like LSD constantly. His name was Steve Jobs and he totally never accomplished anything, ever. Just argued with his parents forever.

And i'm sure that his friends have absolutely no issue with him insulting their lifestyle, amirite? The blame of being rude and intrusive is [i]entirely[/i] upon them. Wait, wasn't this the same thread where people were like "you need to call the police and stop them"?
