You are guilty by association. They assume you do what they do. Explain to your teachers that you are not doing drugs, maybe that will help. |

Lots of dollars have been spent on the term "Just say no" |

Learn what "guilty by association" means. Many people go to prison for it. |

I am glad you asked.
I used to be a partier and did drugs in high school as well as drank heavily. While I had some good times drugs do things to you that you don't realize until later in life.
I have issues with my memory, vision, migraine headaches, anxiety and panic attacks, etc...and I came out of it ok. I have some friends that contracted HIV or Hepetitus.
Bottom line. Don't do drugs.
While it might be fun or exciting you can never take back the damage and trouble it could cause you.
As far as friends, you can't control them. You don't have to hang around with them either if there is too much pressure.
It is very important in life to find a group of people that are positive influences and roll models. Get invovled in school activities or sports or clubs or girl scouts or whatever. All those will help you add positiveness to your life. |

As long as you aren't around when they are using the school can't do anything, even implying it puts them in serious liability trouble. Just keep your nose clean and you'll do fine. |

It's good that you don't do drugs,first of all. But in today's society people don't judge us by what's inside of us, only by what they can see...In the state that I live in the law reads that if you are even near a person that has any drugs on them you are guilty.. It's not fair at all but it is the way it is & society's just taking our rights as a free country away. We really need to stand up for ourselves & say enough is enough......GET TOUGH....GOOD LUCK |

No matter how much you say you won't your Friends my eventually pressure you into trying it just once and that's all it takes. Lose the Friends until they stop. |

Maybe you should really step back ,and put yourself in your parents position.If you were a parent ,would'nt you worry about you childs friends.Peer pressure is a killer[literly] sometimes.I commend your teachers also for looking out for you best interest.Friends come,and go,but Mom,and Dad are forever.So is your reputation,please think it over long,and hard . What is really important to you,and your future. |

well dont rat on your friends. what they do to their bodies is their decision. be the smart one. i know chooseing to do drugs doesnt make you a bad person. but maybe you should start hanging out wiht a different crowd. obviously their doing nothing but getting you in trouble. |

You said you DON'T do drugs but you don't want to ditch your friends, well if you hang out with your friends while they are smoking, that's even worse for you, try talking to your friends, tell them to lighten up with the drugs, and what happened to you... |

You don't THINK you'll do it. Over time, you become desensitized to these things, and next thing you know, you'll be asking yourself, "Why not?" After being with these people for awhile, drugs just won't seem like a big deal at all to you anymore. That's when it gets dangerous, because you'll be so vulnerable to using them yourself.
Also, even if you're not using too, just being with these people can put you in harm's way. Two days ago a former friend of my husband's shot a girl. He was high and didn't realize what he was doing til it was too late. She is/was 20 years old and 4 months pregnant. He shot her point blank right between the eyes. She's barely alive and will probably die, and her baby died today. She wasn't using drugs, but was around someone who did. Her head was the size of a large pumpkin when the paramedics got there. This could very easily happen to you. Not to mention the reputation you'll get from being around these people. Other people will automatically assume you're "one of them" and while this may not matter too much to you now, in a few years you'll wish you didn't have such a bad reputation.
Lose the "friends.".....drug users tend to lose their friendliness over time anyway, when they get to the point where they'll stab you in the back (literally) to get their fix. You deserve better. |

Wow, it's like a bad 80's “just say no” commercial in here
So kid, are you really surprised that they are making assumptions about you based on the company you keep?
People are judgmental creatures; it comes by instinct. We size up our surroundings all the time. Think about when you walk down your school hallway, aren't you looking at every boy and girl you pass and thinking, even for just a second, “she’s dumb, he’s cute, she’s getting fat, and someone said he was gay”. Don’t different types of little thoughts like that race through your mind with each new face?
When the powers that be pass you in the hallway, with all your druggie friends...why would they not assume you were doing drugs? Your closest friends at school just happen to like drugs. You can't blame them for judging you, because you are attracting it with your choice of peers.
So, if I were you, I would ask myself some questions...
There is an old saying that goes:
"If you fly with crows, you get shot at"
Why are you flying with crows? What do these people bring to your life? Why do you feel good when you are with them? How do they treat each other, or treat you? Are they respectful to you? are they into anything else other than drugs? If you were a mom, how would you feel if your daughter or son was hanging out with dope fiends?
I ran with the druggies too, I just kind of tagged along, trying desperately to fit in somewhere. I drank a little, but wasn't into the drugs at all. Then at 16, I started hanging out in bars, showing up to school a couple days of week totally hung over....
You know what else, those friends I clung to, desperate to fit in....
I can barely remember them at all. The few I do know of still are in various situations in their lives. A couple of old friends no longer have their lives period. One is living on the streets selling crack, another is a raging alcoholic and pot head (incidentally, he was a "god" in my circle of friends, and he was really cool)…he works construction, and has been thrown out of every bar downtown. He works to drink.
So what’s the moral kid? Friends are going to come and go in your life. I never thought I would say this, but I am going to anyways, right here in front of everyone. I wish I hadn’t dropped out of school, I wish I listened to my parents more and finally, I wish I had never EVER started hanging out with those idiots I called my “friends” at the time.
I hope this helps you see the situation and gives you a different perspective. You don’t need to drop your friends. Just don’t be around them when they are using drugs. If you sit around and watch them get high, you are basically sitting around watching your friends (who I assume you care about) walk down a dark path. It is a sad thing to have to grow up and watch your friends become real drug addicts.
Good Luck! |

inquiring minds want to know

If you continue to hang out with druggies that is what you will attract. Only bad boys will want to go out with you. and guys that could be your soul mate will avoid you because they will also think you do drugs
do yourself and your family a favor find new friends. They can and will pull you in. People who do drugs become parinoid and will start to avoid you anyway. Or they will think you are a narc |

Kudos for having the courage to ask... first of all... these people didn't read the question too well, did they?
As long as you continue to hang out with those loosers, you should expect to be questioned about it. Your teachers and parents are just worried about you, and concerned about the possibility of you getting into drugs too. And if they send you to counseling for it, you should just accept it and cooperate as much as possible... The more you fight, the more the people who care about you will fight to keep you safe from any potential danger... and believe it or not, if you are hanging out with people who do drugs, you ARE in danger. |
