Nevermind. This argument is silly.
You have your opinion, I have mine. It's all good.
ok i did not read 18 pages of replies because thatd take forever... but heres what i think about your post.
it sounds like youre pretty disappointed with your life and where its going right now. the bad? the things youve come to realize. the good? that youve realized this and are willing to admit it.
its not going to be easy to change the path your life is going down, but that doesnt mean it cant be changed.
first off, i think you should talk to your best friend. he probably doesnt even realize how much you miss him, itd be too bad to lose your best friend because of miscommunication. over time friends are bound to grow apart, so you cant expect it to be like it used to be... although if it ends up like that, awesome. but let him know how you feel, how you want and are going to change. sometimes you gotta make sacrifices, and putting up with his ex-gf might have to be one of those... you dont need to be best friends with her, just be friendly.
as for the school/job situation... college isnt for everyone. and if its not for you, thats ok. if you really think it is for you, go talk to your high school guidance counselor asap about what you need to do and options that are good for you. you may want to consider a technical/community/2year college instead of a "normal" college, since it costs less and will get you a degree in less time and less work probably... because no one wants to work min wage their whole life. but do some research online about it, talk to your parents, and talk to your hs counselor.
you said you do many things wrong... i have no idea what this might be. misbehave at school, drink/drugs outside of school... who knows... and it really doesnt matter. you know what youre doing wrong, so change it. if its because youre bored, find better things to do, find a purpose, find something meaningful to replace the bad things. but if you know youre doing something wrong, dont keep doing that. thats stupid. obviously by having the courage to talk to people about your problems, youre a strong enough personto change too.
always remember, you control your destiny. its not too late to change for the better. youre still in high school. if you think that youre screwed already and give up, you will be screwed your whole life, and it will be so much harder to change things later on. you may lose a friend or not get what you want exactly, but now is the time to change anything you want, however you want it.
good luck, and best wishes!

It's impossible to OD on weed, if weed is gonna kill you, it's just gonna be you doing something stupid while high, and alcohol messes up your perception and judgement way worse than weed

You know what...You're right!DarthGohan1 said:
Mainly the reason I drink and do drugs is because it's something I do with my friends. And the only time I actually see friends from school. And that's how I've been able to meet new friends. I guess maybe I can make friends doing something more positive.
Yes I'm going to a community college, well at least I plan to. Because it's more convenient to me. Well I really hope I can get the courage to talk to him..I'm biting my lip about this one.
As a guy, it's pretty hard to let your emotions out.
I also didn't read most of it....
But you are still young and if you don't like how things are going it is time to think about how you do want things to be going and figure out if that is even possible.
A lot of parents will still treat you like a child, because that is what you always were to them in the past. They have trouble dealing with changes just as much as you do with your friends, they probably feel you drifting away. Try to make them proud of you and respect you for making the right choices and making something good happen.
Friends do drift away once college starts up, it happens, but know that you can always make new friends. I know you don't always want to give up those who were your best friends in high school. Those were the people who helped you through some of the hardest times in your life. Nowadays you can always try to keep in touch via facebook, or one of the billion other forms of communication computers offer. And they will visit home sometimes.
I still like being childish sometimes, but I know there is a time and a place for it, and a time to be responsible. That is what being mature is to me. Not losing your childishness but knowing that it isn't always appropriate.... I don't know if this is what you meant.
You know all those things in school about peer pressure getting you into drugs? It isn't really as much "pressure" as the term would lead you to believe. Often it is just being around friends who offer it to you, and you can say know but if you don't object to others doing t around you it becomes a norm and eventually you probably try it. And nothing goes wrong, so you keep trying it. Well eventually something will go wrong especially if the dosage keeps increasing or whatever. Most people drink alcohol not for the good feeling, but just to be with people. Really it is a depressant so it isn't what makes you feel good, it is the people you are with.

Hey everyone, Just wanted to say that thanks to all of you for your adivce. My friend came over last night and I was able to tell him how I felt. he said not to worry about things like that because no matter what we'll always be in touch. He also said he's not going to have a party so not to freak out about that. haha. Well it's all good-ish now! Yay.
