02/15 The Young and the Reckless

Quote From: woahhimjess

That is basically how I live. That is how every teen i know lives except for an innocent 2 or 3. Kids are going to hide drugs even after they have been caught. Hell I was caught a couple months ago and had to suffer for a couple weeeks but look in my drawer and you will see some liquor look in my altoids can and see pills. What you do not know is that these teenagers do not know any different. I recently transfered to an all girls catholic school from a public school. At my old school now the majority of 15 years olds are coked-up, drunk, or high on pills pretty much every day. When I went there i was dependant on that stuff but now i am not. I am attempting to try to change who I am but it is sooooooooooooooo hard. Teenagers will drink and do drugsd all the time and you cant stop it. You can only TRY to control your kid. When i am able to drink I am going to drink like a crazy person and most likely  be an alcoholic. It is what I am used to. People need to wake up and realize what is going on. I am not a bad kid and Ive been thru tough s***=rape,depression,suicide but i have issues. So do most teens. My good friend just got out of rehab. I am not attemptin to quit pills. I am only 15 but hopefully I can change my habits YES HABITS thats what they are just like brushing your teeth it is a habit that gets easily slipped to become routine.

Im wondering if you can answer some questions for me about your rape?  How old were you, was it someone you knew, did anybody help you with the trauma of it all, have you pressed charges or gone to the police?

From past experience I know the pain of rape/sexual assault and abuse is vast.  Popping pills, doing drugs, even suicide, often seems a far better choice then continuing to feel the pain.

Im hoping you have a family which supports you and has been a help to you with your healing and recovery.  Im afraid that may not be happening in your situation.  Am I wrong?  Hoping so!!!

I don't think "most" teens go to school high all the time.  I don't think society should just accept that every teen uses drugs to self medicate.  Sure, most teens have issues, but that doesn't mean they choose to waste brain cells to cope with them either.  Most teens I know don't abuse drugs and that shouldn't be that status quo.  This isn't a habit, it's an ADDICTION.  You can't get a job high- they test for that.  You can't be a responsible adult 10 years from now hooked on pills and alcohol.  Go to rehab and don't fall into the "everyone else does it so what the h*&#".  Youre an individual, what's good for you isn't for others, and if you have to lose friends to be functional, so be it.  Watch where they'll be in 10 years- face all bloated like Britney Spears, in and out of rehab- is that what you want for you?

If basically all your friends live in that way, then -- with all due respect -- you need to look at getting some different friends. And if you can get new friends who are living respectable lives, you won't have the pressures you have today. I know for a fact that there are plenty of teens that aren't into alcohol and other drugs, because I have two teenagers myself and have met many of their friends. Not all of them are perfect, but they do know how to have a good time socializing, playing video games, and so on without wasting themselves in the process. People your age shouldn't have to go through what you've gone to. If you can't change on your own, talk to a teacher, school counselor, pastor or some other responsible adult who can get you the help you need. You'll be glad you did.
