Do I have to smoke weed and go to wild parties to be cool and fit in?
You shouldn’t be someone you aren’t. I like to drink and smoke weed on weekends, but it’s not something you have to do. Like you said, you have friends who don’t do either of it, so maybe it’s best for you to hold onto those close friends. You’ll also find as you grow up, people tend to get less wasted at parties and are more in control of what they smoke or drink, and peer pressure is almost non-existent. I’m 23, and it’s not so awkward to go to a party that involves drinking and not touching a single drink. Anyways, in grade 10, substances like alcohol and marijuana can affect your brain as it grows and you optimally shouldn’t be involved in this kind of thing anyways until you’re getting close to your twenties. Hope this helps!
