I'm becoming the person I never thought I'd be?

Question

I am a sophomore in high school and all of a sudden my views on everything changed. Last year, I would never have sex, drink, do drugs, or do anything remotely wrong. This year I have a new group of friends but they are against all the stuff listed above. My boyfriend did pills and i found out about it 2 weeks ago and was totally against it and he quit for me. But now I really want to try it, like I know its wrong but it's so easy to obtain, I also drank a couple times and now im considering sex. like what happened to me? I feel like Im at the point of no return. My boyfriend is trying so hard to keep me away from all this stuff and i feel like im letting him down. I don't know what to do like should i go with the flow or try to stop myself? How do i break these habits before they start/get worse?

Answer 1

The corruption and temptations of society. Be strong, don't give into them. Anything is good, with moderation. Anything taken/done excessively is bad.

Answer 2

Find a hobby or get really busy do that you won't have too much time on your hands. When you have too much time you will get bored and want to try drugs. No one quits drugs for someone else. That is a fallacy. Your boyfriend may have told you that he quit for you but i highly doubt that he really did it for you.

my suggestion would be to stay away form the pills, alcohol and any other mind altering things. Once you do drugs you are never the same again. Some ppl that do drugs never come back to who they were. My friend did some X and she ended up a vegetable. She is 18 years old and living in a nursing home. Her life is over. She can't even speak, she can't even go to the bathroom, her mind is gone. drugs mess you up. You become your worst nightmare . A lot of them are habit forming. You will lose interest in friends, boyfriends, school, family. Your life as you knew it will be gone.

Answer 3

Its called growing up. And with that its called learning self control. You have to get some now cause you will be peer pressured into everything from here on in for the rest of your life. Learn self control now or forever pay the price. However sex is not a bad thing. Or having some fun with alcohol at times. As long as you do not turn it into a goal to get wasted and drink responsibly. However drugs are a no no. Stay away now. They will only make you dumb, weed included. I have friends who smoke weed that say it doesn't affect you at all. However very slowly every single one of them turned into squinty eyed, ****** up in the head, loser, lazy, wannabes. and there all think there gangsters or something. stay away now

Answer 4

Think about where you will be in 6 months.

If you like the idea of being a partier... doing drugs and drinking every weekend, grades dropping, likely losing your boyfriend, looking like trash... then go ahead and start.

If you like the idea of being proud for standing up for what you believe in and doing what's best for YOU... then hold off on the peer pressure. If your new group of friends is having a negative impact, maybe you need a new group of friends. It sounds like you and your boyfriend have respect for one another, and you want what's best for each other. That's great!!

Try to focus on the positives in you current life, and think realistically about where you could be in the near future if you drastically change how you're living your life.

Answer 5

Well I'm in the same situation as you. Sort of. I told myself I would never do drugs, alcohol, etc. Well guess what. Just recently, a few days ago I was drinking some beer imported from Holland, forgot what it's called. And about a week ago from then, I smoked some weed.



It's just curiosity, but guess what I'm strong and I can stop myself to keep doing it because it's all in my head. I researched maryjane and it turns out it's not even dangerous for you at all, it's all propaganda. But definitely I will stay away from other drugs that have been offered to me, like Crystal Meth. I will even stay away from cigarettes and alcohol. Maybe I might smoke a puff or two of maryjane, the smell is goood. Cause I know it's not bad for you.



Remember, it's all in your head and you can control it.

Answer 6

Yea, one of my best friends was the most innocent, not trashy, little (like 5'1) athlete (made varsity soccer, lacrosse and hockey freshmen year). She was so sweet and just like an amazing person. Dont get me wrong, she is still like that, but i just found out yesterday she drinks, she hooked up, and smoked pot all in the 3 months i hadnt seen her... at first i didnt believe it when they told me... i was shocked. I guess thats what happens in reality, you cant avoid it, its just always there. I cant tell you what might work for you specifically to break the habits because i dont know you and what works for you. Where are you drinking? at a party? maybe instead of partying you can hang around with your friends and boyfriend and go out to dinner and movie.

Answer 7

Talk to someone about it. Seek counseling, or try to find new friends.



I don't understand how "just say no" even makes it around anymore. You people need to realize that there are people who don't take no for an answer. Life is never that easy as 2 and 3 letter words.



Fortunately, I've never been placed in such a scenario, but I understand that there are people out there who don't think no means no. Rarely will no keep your friend from giving you drugs or getting raped, especially.

Answer 8

You can always start saying no, no matter how far you've gone already.

Pills can do some crazy things that you don't know about until they've done damage. Whatever you do, don't go with the flow. It gets you no where past high school.

Just say no to these things. If things get worse, surround yourself around good friends, even if that means getting rid of the people your hanging around with now.

Good Luck!

Answer 10

TRY your best to say no... But always ALWAYS be prepared for alternatives, if saying no doesn't work, you don't want to have unprotected sex. So always have contraceptives around. As for the alcohol and everything, just think about it while they're offering it to you, you'll enjoy it now, but later you'll hate yourself for doing it, because it hurts your morals. Don't do pills, just because your b.f.s doing it, god!

Answer 11

Before you do anything you'll regret later, you need to think of why you were against those things last year.

Answer 12

It's all in the moment. Keep your head screwed on and just keep thinking 'no', and don't question it. Don't be short sighted, think of how it could impact your life and not in a positive way...

Answer 13

Its YOUR mind and your temptations. Just say no.

Answer 14

JUST SAY NO!!!!
