Peer Pressure, Make It STOP!!!!

[TheN3rdyOutcast]

9th grade was kind of a rough year for me, mostly because everywhere I went and everything I did, someone would always try to pressure me into smoking weed. Yes, MARIJUANA. and being the goody two shoes that I am, if it falls into the illicit drug category, I've never tried it.
The annoying thing was, no matter how much I would say no to the people who would offer me reefer, THEY WOULD NOT LET UP. It was pretty frustrating and by November, I might've given in to the pressure if I hadn't also tried to kill myself that month and landed myself in a mental hospital for a month-and-a-half.

My question is, how do I get the pressure to stop for 10th grade?

Try to have a talk with your friends, explaining how you're not into that stuff at all. If they can't understand that, try to see if you can transfer schools. Because obviously if students always offer you weed, this isn't a stable environment for a teenager.

You're stronger than them, I mean f*ck them, if you don't want it you don't have to do it. They can try to pressure you all they want but if you have to you could just plain ignore them, if it's just not what you want.

[Hudor]

Try to reason with them and make them understand you don't want to do it and resist it. If they get physical report it and finally if nothing works out get your school changed.

[Suave]

Just say no if you don't want it, and tell them to stop asking you. Plan B would be to just stop hanging with them.

Oh god, I'm pro-weed, even though I hate the stuff (it makes me psychotic), but there are some pot-smokers out there that are REALLY PUSHY. I had some friends who were even...Borderline rapey, all "you just need to let loose and chill out" and "you can have a really good time with us" (imagine the smile of someone who is about to roofie your drink, that kind of guy, yeah, that was the smile they gave me)

I just kind of told them to shut the fuck up. I'm pretty outspoken though, if you're quieter, I can see how that would be hard.

Easy fix, tell them to save their weed. If they still push then ask why they are so desperate to give their weed away. Chances are you will convince them that they actually want them to keep their weed for themselves or they will just call you paranoid.

Change your immediate friends...it's key to get you stronger and less attainable from those 'marijuana guys'.

Hm, just tell them they should go f*ck themselves...no, honestly I don't think there's anything you can do to make 'em stop. If they are so nice to offer to share their weed with you ... you can just tell those people again and again you don't want it, if you don't.
If you think it's wrong to try it, just be strong...I don't thuink they'd force you, would they?

[matt_tgr]

Same happened to me this year. Said screw you once, twice. After that they probably understood that I'm not going to do that no matter what

[bob97]

You got to talk to different people then. That sucks though. I never really had that problem because I was the first person in my school to so it(7th grade)

[lifelies]

Just ignore them, ffs.
You gotta have a little personality. I've been pressured to do drugs looots of times and I refused to, I just did them when I wanted, and I never told anyone lol

This exactly ^
It reminds me of a joke about insurance adverts:

"I saved 50% on stress by switching to not giving a fuck"

Just ignore the ass holes, dont feel you have to do something just because they want you too.
