My sympathy to you antryg. However I have quite recent memories from 4 or 5 years ago of me at school and some pricks trying to do anything to persuade me to take some drug (can't even remember what it was) saying it was cool and all that. They were on at me all day sometimes but I just said "no I don't need it". They said "oh you're sad, man, don't be a wimp". I just laughed and said "you're the sad pricks for giving into it, you have no will power and need your sucker friends to think you're cool for taking drugs. You're depressing man, get outa my face". After a while they left me alone.
Therefore if I could say no despite a lot of peer pressure, I have slightly less sympathy than I should maybe for those that do give in. After all it's their fault for tryina act cool. If it means they ain't popular then they ain't popular. I soon learned to stand on my own even if it meant I had less "friends" at school I acted how I wanted not how peer pressure wanted. So therefore Sir K. it is their fault. I don't buy the crap about them needing it to solve problems in their lives. Maybe obviously some people have it bad but the solution to problems is never in gettin high and not dealing with them.
