I am jealous of people who do drugs and have sex and I am only 15, and I know this isn't a normal feeling I just feel like a little kid because a lot of people around me are already smoking pot and giving head and I barely even got felt up or tried pot.. even 13 y/o are doing it.. why am I feeling this way?

Feeling jealousy should make you feel like a little kid. It's childish. Stop it 'cause you're better than that.

So, they're telling you that they're doing all that. Smoking pot clogs your brain sinapses, costs money and makes you stupid. Giving head and having sex will give you diseases no matter how much you believe, "it won't happen to me." Sex, in spite of contraceptives, also frequently creates babies. Are you ready and willing to drop out of school, start working and raise a baby?

Enjoy being young. Being a responsible grown-up happens all too soon. Instead of seeing your friends with jealous eyes, see them as examples. Take care of yourself and watch them suffer the consequences of poor choices. You could be doing all those things too, but it doesn't make you grown up.

What's wrong, don't you love yourself, or are you bored, and think those dopers are having more fun than you? They aren't, it just seems that way, and little do they know, there is a price to pay for what they are doing now. They don't love themselves, but they are trying to be older than what they are. Don't follow that example.

You have a choice, be a follower, or be a leader. Anyone can follow, it takes someone special to lead. So, sheep, or dog?

Personally, I would hate being a sheep, they're stupid. But a dog, no way, he makes the sheep go where he wants them to, he leads them.

Just because everyone else is doing it, doesn't mean it's a good idea. Like the old saying goes, if everyone else jumped off a bridge, would you?

Think for yourself, don't be a sheep. :)

Good luck.

Thank you :D

Just remember, it's hard being a teen, and remember that most of us here have been there, done that, wrote the book. :)

There are choices in your life that can change your entire path, it's up to you to make those choices, and only you. Some of us made the wrong choices when we were younger, and we learned the hard way. That's a good thing though, because now we can tell you not to do it, to walk away. Not everything has to be learned the hard way, sometimes all you have to do is listen. :)

The fact that you are asking these questions, and looking for answers, and are willing to listen to the advice given, well dear, that takes maturity and intelligence. Your friends don't have that. Don't join them, pity them, because they are going to learn the hard way, and some mistakes you don't walk away from.
