okay well like all my friends are starting to get into drugs and drinking and sex and staying out until 2 in the morning. and im terrified.
i don’t want to get into drugs at all. drinking i don’t want to either, but im might have a cooler if everyone else is drinking. yes i know this is supposed to be fun high school years, but i lost my uncle to hardcore drugs. so im scared that if i start getting into them im going to end up like him. my friends don’t force me to do any of it so its nothing to do with peer pressure. also about the staying out late, i live in a really bad place, there is a lot of people getting stabbed and beat up out on the streets and stuff, so im really scared something like that is going to happen. just a few days ago a 16 year old girl was out with her friends and she was stabbed and killed like right around the corner from my house. but my friends just don’t seem to care. so i don’t know should i just face my fears and drink, and go out late? i still don’t want to do drugs. but i want to know what should i do?
