I don’t use drugs nor alcohol, but I just turned 18 and I noticed that a lot of people younger than me (high school age so 14-17 even) use alcohol and sometimes drugs from siblings, older friends, etc.

Did you do that when you were younger than me? I don’t plan on doing so anyway.

    So then you already know. So are you just here for “oh yes drugs ruined my life because I smoked weed at 16”- comments? Haven’t got any.

    Well honestly there are quite a few regarding alcohol.

    I personally doubt that they posted for that reason though. As a teetotaler myself I also felt like I needed reassurance when I found out how many people in college drink so much.

    I think it is very important to have friends that respect and support the decision not to drink, especially at parties and such.

      And the worst ones I know are the ones who avoided it like the plague only to then instantly shift to binging, especially because they were of legal age to buy.
