+500 "It's not like we'd be peer pressuring you and yelling 'DRINK. SMOKE." Fyi, not inviting me to parties solely because I don't drink or smoke weed IS peer pressuring me. Stop trying to turn my life into an after school special and grow up, amirite?

High school is pretty lonely for me since I'm straight edge. Pretty awesome. Going into junior year and I haven't been invited to a party once.

It's pretty hard to find people who don't drink or smoke weed. It's like all everyone wants to do anymore is party party party. I never saw what was so special about it anyway

Maybe you don't get invited for other reasons...like your attitude...just saying.

I never understood the whole peer pressure thing. When I'm out and say no to something, whoever offered isn't like, 'shiiiiit leave or smoke biiiiitch' or anything along those lines. I have plenty of friends. And go to plenty of parties. Hmm.

But when you're invited to parties and everyone there is smoking and drinking and you don't, what's the point in going? Just because they don't force you to leave, you feel unwanted and awkward standing in the corner alone.

You don't have to stand in the corner by yourself. Do what you want to do, and let others make their choices. You can still hang out with people that are drinking. When you're sober, you remember the funny stuff they said. ;)

Honestly, why else would you go to a party? Otherwise it's just a bunch of grown ass kids drinking pop and playing pin the tail on the donkey. Highschool and college are the only times in your life when doing these things is deemed acceptable by society, so don't be a pussy and experiment with shit while you can.

Good idea. Let's have the high school kids drink and smoke and get busted and ruin the rest of their lives. You'd be surprised at how many exciting and interesting things there are outside of what's illegal.

You know what? You're right. I drank and smoked weed in high-school and I am ruining my life by going to university and getting a degree, oh and also by working my full time job to pay rent and insurance. It's just so irresponsible of me, might aswell be thrown in prison.

Not everybody falls onto the spikes. You got lucky. But tell me this: Was it worth it? Was it really worth the risk? You could have easily gone to jail and had that on your record for the rest of your life. The point is, countless teens will do the same thing you did and try to get away with it. Some will, some won't. Why trade the possibility of going to jail, to be high for a moment? If you're stubborn still then move to California at least.

There's a lot of 'points' to going to a party? Hanging out with friends. Do you have to be drunk/high to do that? No. Like I said, I go to plenty of parties, and don't always do stuff. Still have plenty of fun.

i hate how, previously i've never been invited to parties, so people don't think i party, so they don't invite me to parties. it's a vicious circle, especially now that i actually want to party.

Just go and pretend you were invited by someone else. No one really cares.

You can have a lot of fun without that crap that can ruin your life. You should be able to tell your kids someday that you weren't a party animal or a pothead. Don't let the pressure get to you :) you won't regret it.

I'd rather smoke cannabis or something with a close group of friends maybe, with some cool chillout music going, and no obnoxious noisy frat boys. High school parties are all pretty lame. :/

For the record, they actually stated that they would feel uncomfortable doing anything around me since I wouldn't, so I wasn't invited. I don't really feel like it would be possible/necessary though to "prove" my popularity or whatever though, so you can believe what you want about that part hah. And why I choose not to is also my own thing. It's the principle of the matter we're discussing here.

Same reason why I'm not invited. What's the point of going to parties if you don't smoke or drink? You just stand in the corner with soda and hold back people's hair while they puke.

Maybe you don't get invited because you're such a bitch...
