I started smoking last year in May(07) with four friends. One moved away, one had to stop because his brother got caught so their parents randomly test both of them, the other got caught smoking along with me and chickened out and quit. I go to a private school, where everybody hates me for throwing my life away with weed, even though i make the best grades in the class just about, and am always punctual with everything and am not a dead-beat at all. Yet I still see that everyone is drifting away, and I've recently noticed that life sucks at the moment because no one really understands what is happening. It used to be us four and then a few others that were in a group and just understood the fact that everyone else just don;t know what they're talking about. But now that i'm the last of the official group, and no one else smokes, I feel kinda miserable. Is this something to worry about? Can anyone tell me from experience that it will work out? And how? I'm thinking about just getting myself kicked out of this school and go to a public school, but something like that will affect the rest of my life, all because I didn't want to stop smoking weed and being hated. Its the typical story of a kid getting into drugs and loses everyone he loves... except the only drugs I've done is weed that people know of. It fucking sucks. Of course I'm not making it any better since I'm going to do Shrooms Thursday, but absolutely no one from school will find out about this. It will definitely ruin me. Advice?
i understand exactly what your saying, you no longer have friends that think the same way as you and would smoke with you, right? it says your 16, so your probably a sophmore. around highschool and sometimes middleschool, kids hit something I call "weed puberty" where they start to re think what they were told about weed, and realize they were lied to. I also go to a private school, and I'm a junior at the moment. last year only me and 1 other person in my grade smoked, this year about 15-20 people in our grade smoke. I bet that number will be even bigger next year. your school, like mine, may be a little late with discovering marijuana, I know of other schools in my area where 10-15 of the freshmans smoke out of 45 in the grade, so it depends. no worries, people will come around eventually. you'll just have to wait. I hope this helps
Yeah at least 25% of the kids at my school drink or smoke weed. If you have other friends that are questioning their opinions you could introduce them to weed. Marijuana brings people together and will in just about every situation.
MAN!!!! move to Tennessee!!! that has to suck! glad 75% of my school smokes pot and 95% drinks lol...
In my experience, in many private and grammer schools, there is more drugs then you would expects. I used to have mates who went to a grammer schools, it porbaly had the worst drugs problem of our town. I also went to a private school for a short period, most people drank and about 10-15% off the people smoked weed regually, and about 30% have tryed it Im now in a public school, and loads of people have tryed it and there are lot of stoners, going out to smoke it at lunch ect. But it is also a bigger school, so probaly about the same % smoke it regually from the private school. Seeing as you are Yr11 (dont what grade that is in America) I would have thought a lot people smoke it. Just explain to them drinking does a lot more damage, and introduce a few people to the wanders of the herb. Im suprised curiosoty hasnt got the better of them yet. Also, if they hate because you smoke weed, find new firends or explain its your choice, you will do it if you bloody want....you are not forcing them to do it.
This is what I'm saying... I HAVE said this, and yet people still call me a burn-out and are assholes to me. Most of the kids at school DO drink, but NONE smoke weed. I don't drink, and I tell everyone that its going to kill them one day. In the end, I think I'm just gonna leave the school. I've tried to argue my points but they're all narrowminded christian pussies. Another reason to switch schools, sine I converted out of Christianity and I'm still having it crammed down my throat daily.
Go to a public school if you love drugs. At my school people go into the bathrooms all the times to smoke bud, snort lines, pop pills, etc. It almost seems you could catch contact high by just taking a piss, lol.
I go to a private school where like 8 kids smoke out of about 400. It was better last year but all the kids I smoked with graduated or got expelled, so it sucked for a while, but then I made friends with some kids I didn't really know that well before by smoking with them a couple times and those kids are real good friends of mine now and we blaze all the time. I'd say transfer if you really have no friends at your school, because that just flat out sucks and you shouldn't put up with that. There's plenty of other private schools so it's not like you're messing with your future if you transfer. Transfer to my school. Fellow stoners are always welcome.
i go to a private school and am bassicaly thought of as a junky. however i am loved by all my class and im friends with everybody in my class accept for 2 people, one's just really annoying and the others a future wife beater.
Well I hate to say it but it needs to be said. Weed smokers are the minority in the world. They always have been and always will be. Less than 25% of people actively smoke pot. Sad but true. Most of you will not be smoking weed in 5 years or less. It is a fad for most people. Others will quit to get employment or to shut up a significant other in their lives. After all alcohol is so much more fasionable (and dangerous) and socially acceptable. It is legal, weed is not and will never be. So if you like weed I suggest you get used to smoking alone. I estimate only about 15% of the population is what I call "lifetime" smokers. At 41 years old how many of the many people that I have smoked with at one time or another still smoke weed? One. Smoke and enjoy while you can. In a few years you will likely be looking down at people smoking the evil weed.
Is it a good school you go to? You may not want to leave a good school. People will give you just as much shit for that if not more. I understand your need to be with people of like mind, that understand you, but I say ride it out. Fly your "freak" flag. You're not doing anything wrong, stand by that opinion. Don't feel you have to change to be like the unenlightened people that surround you. You seem intelligent; you know that alcohol is something to be more worried about than pot. Don't change for them. People are always going to give you shit for something. Don't let it get to you. Hopefully you can influence some people, but if not try to make some friends outside of school if you can. Although Johnny Coolman makes a good point about transferring to another private school. That could be good. Be true to yourself, whatever you decide. In the meantime good luck.
This is the OP, two years older. I was just reading all my old posts, and remembering what I was like. Man I was so sad back then. It makes me smile, to know I came out of it. I ended up going to a public school this year(Senior Year) and its been the greatest year of my life. I met plenty of girls and guys who I get along with. Just a fill in for any of you who are still around. - Or a little hope for those who find yourself in a similar position.
Nobody smokes at my college or so it seems...but Im in the worst college for social...and for education. All my friends dont smoke or barely do. Other these few evryone makes me feel like a junky all the time, tho im only smoking pot(for now).
over half of the people I go to college with smoke weed.. then again i did pick a profession that has a reputation for having a large number of alcoholics and drug addicts
Fuck whatever anyone else thinks about you. Be free... Live your life the way you want to live it and not the way others want you to live it.
