I think I like partying TOO much for my age?

Question

I am 16 years old and I think I have been a bit out of control lately. I like drinking with my friends, and the last time that happened I hooked up(not s*x, but close) with a completely random guy. I also smoke pot occasionally as a social thing, but I prefer drinking. However, I don't really WANT to stop, I just think I SHOULD stop. I find myself always wanting to go out and party all the time though because I like being able to let loose like that, and it is not the same sober.

PLEASE don't lecture me. But what can I do? Just get it out of my system? Or should I stop worrying about it and just do what I want? How should I deal with these conflicting thoughts?

Answer 1

I think you should just back off a little bit and tell your self when enough is enough.  

Answer 2

u can never have too much partying..

Answer 3

I'm not gonna lecture you but this has to stop. If you keep doing this you're gonna end up ruining your life. I mean it's fine to let loose and have fun but not too much fun. I mean you can go to parties and dance and have fun with all your friends without smoking or drinking. Trust me if you just relax and just stop taking pot and drinking, you'll be fine.

Answer 4

It sounds like you're setting yourself up for a very dangerous, unhealthy and expensive bad habit.  If you know it's out of control, then take control.

Answer 5

yeah just do what you want..... ~xoxo ally*

Answer 6

Answer 7

I think at 16 you should be focusing at school or college and the way your going  you wont get into college and will end up wrecking your future. I think you need to be serious about what you want and i think you need to get yourself in order,

I'm not lecturing, just being honest and ive learnt from experience.

Answer 8

I think you should probably get some counseling or something. The good news is that you know that its a problem. The bad news is that you crave it. It's like an addiction for you but you need to stop cold turkey. Try to do something instead of partying like exercise or doing a hobby. I understand how hard it will be but you know that it will be some much better in the end. Best of luck :)

Answer 9

Everybody likes to party.

When you get the urge to go get high/drunk/ have a great time or whatever, do something else that's fun.  Like go to the movies, or invite one friend over to do something, or I dunno, just do whatever else you think is fun.  Believe me, partying is fun to like 99% of the population, but for your own saftey limit it to say, half of what you're doing right now.  And when you're confortable with that, cut it in half again.  That way, you'll stop the constant stream of drugs and drinks and s*x, but in an easier way.

One more word of advice- don't get caught.  Believe me, getting caught SUCKS.

Answer 10

The best thing to do is make different friends that don't party so you can hang out on the weekend. You need something to do to occupy the space where you would normally be partying. This behavior could lead to alcoholism or serious drug abuse. It's not worth it when it's easier to stop.  

Answer 11

i think u should stop cuz u  might get raped and that would be horrible!and the drinking migth lead up to somethin bad!): ur parents will find out sooner or later and if they do u will regret it!i suggest u stop before they find out! plz stop ! not trying to lecture u is i aim sorry): hope i helped!(:

Answer 12

partying is always fun when your in high school, but too much partying can lead to man mistakes and regrets. you shouldnt quit partying all together but slowing down on it would be good. maybe go out shopping or to eat with some friends. try and have a girls night sometimes..explain to your friends what your doing. they should respect that.

good luck!

Answer 13

Go to the AA website and read what they have to say about when you have a problem with booze.  That assumes you won't take my word that you are an alcoholic (which is to say, a drunk).  That's not pejorative BTW.  One of the things worse than being an alcoholic would be to be a pregnant alcoholic.  It's very good that you see the dangers.  What you do about it is up to you.  Good luck.

Answer 14

How do you prefer drinking to pot?! Reefer is healthier than alcohol.

Whatever. Anyways...

I guess if you want/should stop you should hang with a different crowd so you won't be pressured into doing naughty things.

Answer 15

You sound like Me when i was your age. You are playing with fire.

I got pregnant when i was 20 & out of luck because i had unprotected s*x many many times before.

Don't take this the wrong way, i love my life, i love my son, i love my husband.

But, unless being a teen mother is what you want, stop.
