I totally believe that courage and strength are necessities for rising above the influence and avoiding conformity. =3

I feel you man. None of my friends smoked weed, or drank alcohol, or did any drugs for that matter. I got into booze and weed completely by myself. Luckily I was able to quit drinking, but I still use pot regularly, and I never did any of this cuz someone told me to. Peer pressure = bullshit

I was hoping this would be some comedy scetch about crazy parents and what they think will help. Instead I got some fried chicken chin lady and minors I cant whack off to.

Restating the obvious is a tedious act. It is often discredited by one's own ego. For example: One may think, "I know". But, to what extent do you really know? Life is a learning experience, most of it learning what you already know. When someone says "fire is hot, it will burn you" you did not know that, until you touched it. And for some, it may take a 2nd time to realize that.

@scarecrow420high Your mom just loved you. But you were too much of a spoiled, and selfish child to see that.

Your DAD (something missing today) should have kicked you ass. Mother cannot be Father. Father cannot be Mother. They both play different roles in raising children, and always have.

@ChachouMiaou Exactly how it is with me man. A = A. A does not = B. People today, are very hypocritical to think otherwise of the above.

Peer pressure is not bullshit just because some people swear they decided to smoke or drink without peer pressure. I've never smoked and I don't drink, because I just don't feel like it. And I can tell you peer pressure is huge, and it would be the ONLY reason which possibly could make me consider smoking or drinking. Everytime I hang out with people who fancy themselves "cool", and I have to say I don't drink or smoke, I get the same shocked reactions and they make me feel like a weirdo.

@snakesnoozer fighting is different. if someone wants to fight me, i would love it. BUT, i wouldnt want to be in a fight because there is a chance that other people might get hurt, i would get in trouble, and so forth. but if someone was coming at me, and i tried defence and it wasnt working, then of course then u have to kick the other guys ass.

@elmirasahar Its harder when somebody wants to fight you, I said no, no ,no gave reasons more no's and stil ended up getting hit at the end of the day. So, saying no is fukin bull shit. This is all bull shit, I have the skills, they just dont work.
