I will always be the nerdy kid who will always drop my books in a hallway. Like I did today in the library when there was a line...twice. Or in school too many times than I can count. I will always be the person who is going to be picked on for being too sensitive, or for standing up for not engaging in illegal activities (like smoking pot or taking shrooms ). For this, I get picked on and I get to spend less time with those so-called friends. I could care less that they smoke pot or take shrooms it's the fact that they look down on me and they peer pressure me and honestly laugh at me for not doing them and not agreeing with the fact that they are driving with pot in the car when either I'm driving or they are high and driving. Or they drive while tripping.
What are your thoughts, would you keep these friends? Would you give into the pressure?

No, I wouldn't keep them nor give into that kind of pressure. I have had friends who are like that my whole life, and in the long run they aren't worth keeping around. The first friends who pressured me made this club that was basically an "I Hate (this one girl no one seemed to like) Club" and wanted me to join. After a while, when they pretty much wanted all of us to take an oath, I was the last one who was supposed to say I was in, and I said I'm not doing that, and I left them. They disbanded afterward :)
ReplyDeleteGranted, that example from 5th. grade is different from what you're dealing with, but I think you ought to still walk away. Doing drugs will hurt them and you in the long run if you continue being their friend.
