That being said, high schoolers are immature pineappletards when drunk, and while freshman aren't much better, they learn fast, so you should still go to parties and enjoy. Just tell people your situation and enjoy the shenanigans.
WillDaSnail Wrote:Bryan, its okay. Never, EVER feel pressured to drink. Especially with your medical condition, you have a 100% legitimate excuse not to do so. I mean, I never drank before, and have resisted pressure from others to drink during my first year of college.
You have the right to make that choice on your own free will. Never let others pressure you, including friends. I would never be close with people I consider "friends" if they pressure me to do things that I have strong objections about.
That isn't a problem, though. No one pressures me after I explain my situation (although my doctor says alcohol does not interact with the medicine, they don't need to know that
). I have absolutely no interest in alcohol, either.My problem lies with the fact that 99% of parties revolve around alcohol and getting "pomegranateface drunk." I have no interest in going to parties like that. No one just "hangs out" (without alcohol) anymore.
As for college, I have always been under the impression that people won't be spending that kind of money to get drunk and fail out of school (although many people do). I'm just hoping there are other people like me who would rather do something fun that doesn't involve drinking.
I've been invited to grad parties on facebook. In the description, it literally tells people to bring their own alcohol.
I can't wait to get out of high school.
Oh yeah, also found out one of my good (asian) friends played Maplestory. He quit when potential came out
