Friend advice, just teenagers, so somewhat easy?

Question

I have a group of friends, but sometimes I feel as though they're all younger than me and immature and stuff. I'm used to hanging out with people older than me, so that might affect it. I like them and enjoy hanging out with them, but there's never any new faces, and they're all so innocent and while they know it, I feel kind of like a babysitter or an older sister around them, and I hate that.

There's another group I'm getting involved with. Their ages range from a year older than me, to about ten years older. They do various illegal substances and the group is always changing.

Now, it's not like I feel any pressure from them, it's quite opposite, I actually fit there more naturally than with my other group, but I don't know if the transition would be wise.

I'm 15, and don't know if I want to make this change.

The new group sounds all bad and not a good idea, but my older sister introduced me to them and the whole idea was so that I knew how to take advantage of parties and stuff in a responsible way, and she makes sure that the people I get closer to are not creeps or dumbasses.

My question is, a few people in my old group of friends would freak out if they knew what I did with my new group. But in the new group, I will probably be known as my sister's little sister for quite a while. I don't know how to balance both.

I need advice.

What do you think of the situation?

Is it time to move on in life and leave the old group?

Is it time to grow up and hang out with people who don't break the law?

Should I try to balance them?

What are your thoughts?

Answer 1

I think this is a situation that could be resolved simple. Even tho the new group is a bad group, it dosent necessarily mean they are bad people. Its good that you might not fall into their bad influences. Its common sense (no offence) that if you arnt confterble in the old group, then you should move to a new one. Its will be a good change for a better life style regardless of you being known as your sisters little sister.

You should just follow where your heart wants to go. I personally think you should go with the new group. They are mature and stuff. You can hangout with them and feel the thrill they give you. But this dosent mean you should completely let go of your old group. You should still hangout with them once in a while, be a all around person. You'd be loved by them both. Just lean more to the new group, to sorta let the old group know that you want alittle change.

I honestly its time to grow up, like you said, bust out and be someone.

Answer 2

well.

i would just stick with your current group.

the new change of group does not sound safe, even thou you may think it would be better. Maybe you should ask your current group to just act more mature, or find other friends closer to your age and maturity levle to hang with that could become part of your group.

hope i helped.

good luck :))
