I've always found being me and not like anyone else is the best way to go. I'm not straight edge and never will be because I would be doing it for someone else and not for myself. Just be yourself and the few friends you do have will accept you. More than a few close friends is pointless to me, if you have someone that you can say is like a brother that takes up 100 pointless people you call friends.

I do what I want, and say fuck the rest. I'm here to make me happy, not you. If you can't deal with that, then that's your problem. If you want to try some shit, then do it, just start small and be safe and smart about it. If you don't want to drink or smoke, then don't. Don't let peer pressure get the best of you. It's your life, you live it the way you see fit

Is Good Mourning like 15? PY telling a 15 year old to smoke weed. Nice.......

I will put this post in the context of "Elder DD" talking to impressionable highschoolers. Not meaning to belittle or talk down if it comes off that way.

I recommend just doing what makes you happy at this point in your life and F what everyone thinks. That is the problem with the vast majority of people under 21. Everyone is so concerned with what everyone else is doing. (I know this is hard to believe, but I was a teenager once myself haha).

A person that starts to smoke even weed when they are young are much more apt to venture onto harder drugs later in life, if not by the time college rolls around. (if they even go to college). Granted I realize I am generalizing, but it needs to be a general thing as most teenagers are using the same brain and are extremely easily influenced. (yes, I was too)

Personally........and thats all I can go on. I didn't have a drop of booze or weed until I was a senior in high school. I was actually quite disgusted by it. Some would have called me "straight edge" back then but to me it was just who and how I was as a person. It didn't need a label. Well.....long story short, my old girlfriend who was crazy hot wanted to hook up after school. I picked her up and she had a joint. I had comtemplated what it would be like to be high for a long time now etc etc.

So I smoked.......

That was offically the beginning of the end for me to becoming the dude I am today. Why is that? Because I fucking loved it!! I mean, honestly I got stoned and was like. "Holy shit, this is the greatest thing ever".

Alot of you must be saying "Well, that's not good advice to give this high schooler DD".

Well, let's fast forward 16 years.

I don't tell people this because its really not something to be proud of and quite embarrassing to be quite honest. For the last 16 years without exaggerating I can honestly say I put down more bud in a month than most of you have ever seen in your lifetime. I am not going to put a number on it out of fear that alot of people will think I am some sort of loser etc etc. (even though I pretty much laid it out there already). It's not something I am proud of or all "Look how badass I am because I do drugs 24/7" Because that's not it at all. What I found happened and still happens to me is that I feel like I can't have fun without being high or buzzed off booze. I know a good amount of people who feel the same way

What I am trying to do is point out that no matter how much some people tell themselves "Oh, I can have just a little. I'll be fine" It's simply not the case 9 out of 10 times. I mean I have ONE buddy out of my circle of friends that can pick up a cigarette and smoke like 1 butt every 6 months and be fine. The rest of us smoke cigarettes like crazy, burn weed like its our last meal and drink way too much.

So yeah......what's the point of all this? I think the biggest point I have is that you young guys have your whole lives to become burnouts, drunks and fuckups like me and my buddies. Please don't rush it. Enjoy your sober fun with your pals, because before you know it, you could be the guy that has one buddy in rehab, 2 cokeheads, 3 burnouts and 2 dead to your resume.

Take your time. Enjoy your youth, it only happens once. I can't remember half of mine (seriously)

Good Mourning

Like, I was just doing my own thing this weekend, taking photos for the school at homecoming. I painted my face for the school and I took pictures at all the events and I actually had people talking to me. I went on facebook today and had like 10 friend requests and a shitload of Photo Tags. After I went to my friend Brysen's this weekend, we headed over to this girl Dana's house for a big get together. I was taking pictures and I was making friends with people who I had never thought I would have before. The same thing happened at the dance. I was just taking pictures, talking to people, and there I was talking it up wit people I've never met.

At the little after party we had, there was no booze, no weed or anything and we were all just chillin with nothing to do, but we all just had fun. I think I've found my calling. Be the school event photographer. Thanks for the advice guys, I honestly appreciate it and will use it.

I already got a buddy like that, man. He cant remember past last Thanksgiving, and he's one of the major reasons I don't smoke or drink. I mean, he went to the football game friday night rolling on ecstasy. I like the kid and all, I think we all have friends like this, and they just do dumb shit.

He said smoke weed if you want but don't do other drugs. Which I agree with, I wouldn't ever GET someone to smoke weed but I have no problem with it if they choose too. Ultimately the worse thing weed will do is make you lazier if your lazy.
