Did you do drugs or go to parties in HS?

Heh, alright looks like it's story time lol.

So in 10th grade I met a group of guys in gym class. The teacher was like, okay we're gonna go out and play tennis, so form teams of 4. Well I'm standing there and these 3 guys called me over to be their 4th guy. They were talking and joking and started calling me Mr. Twiggs lol. So that's also the story behind my user name on here.

Later in 10th grade before school started they'd stand across the street to smoke cigarettes. The one guy had a pack of Marlboro reds, one cigarette was flipped upside down. He was like, here take a cigarette and I reached for the flipped one and he goes no no not that one... here take this one instead. I kind of assumed later on it was a marijuana cigarette lol.

Anyway they tell me to "hotbox" it. Basically light the cigarette and do quick short inhales. Well afterward, in history class I had to go to the bathroom because it made me sick and I threw up. Then I tried to smoke cigarettes but I didn't know how to inhale.

Another time my one friend invited me over to his house. So I go in his room with him and he's like here, try this, so he hands me a bowl (first time I see this) and he's like take a hit. So I take a hit and just start coughing like crazy. I lay down on his bed and had to take my glasses off because I felt like I was floating or something. Then his mom brings in some ginger snaps, so I eat like 3 of those and then end up running to his bathroom an hour later, threw up from all that. Then we went to the library and I'm like sitting there with my head on the table falling asleep lol.

That same guy and me worked at a restaurant and one time we hit a joint behind the dumpster at work outside, then he offers me snuff. So first time I tried it, it was so strong I was dizzy, but able to do my job. The second time he offered it to me probably a month later, I must have swallowed some accidentally, that didn't go so well and I didn't do anything more after that.

By that time I was in 11th or 12th grade working at the restaurant.

I did not do drugs in HS.

The parties I went to were very low-key. No alcohol. Just friends gathering with snacks, soft drinks, and maybe some cookies baked by some of the girls. We talked, sang along to music while someone played guitar. They were friendly and casual. I have happy memories of that innocent time.

Yes.
Yes.

Drugs were not a thing when I was in school... alcohol yes, drugs just weren't anything anyone did.

I did go to a few parties, but they weren't my thing. I much preferred a couple of friends and cruising the streets.

We would often have a few beers, once in a while have a shot or two of something hard or drink some wine, but mostly it was close friends chilling and having fun together.

There were of course a few stupid nights, but I learned pretty fast that the local guys in blue frowned on stupid, alcohol and the results of combining the two.

No I wasn't a party person and I was way too shy.
I am very happy that I never took drugs or got drunk as a teenager.
And I have never taken drugs as a adult and I've never really even gotten drunk.
I don't feel like I'm missing anything.
I think I've been kept from a lot of bad things happening if I had indulged in all that

yes to both parts of question

I did go to some parties, but I never went near any drugs, way too scary for me!

Parties yes. Drugs no.

Nah - I was athletic and smart.
Waited until my 20's 😂

I smoked marijuana and dropped LSD when I was a teenager.

I ran amok in my teenage years.

I wasted much of my late teen years.

Never took drugs or anything like that. Went to some house parties. Mainly my bff’s and I either went to the local bar (they were letting us in at 14) to hang out with other kids from school or we went to movies or just hung out at each others houses.

i did more drugs than HS... 🤔

Catholic high school, not so much. College, yes. It was the 70s.

No i never finished high school

No. I had friends who would have get togethers that were kinda trippy, but I never went to a party.

The one party I went to in a field (I grew up rural) everyone got their car stuck in the mud and somebody called the cops lol so we didn't even party.

I'm still not a party person and I don't feel like I'm missing out.

Afew parties,not many..Athe time and place in which I was at High School,drugs were not a thing,that "era"was still to come/

I am 68 and never touched any drug in my entire life

Why dont you sing us something

Drugs are bad mmmmmkaaayyyy

Beer was the strongest drug available when I was in HS, and I didn't drink it since I was a dedicated jock. Our parties were tame, and I enjoyed them.

Yes. I made lots of mistakes in trying to cope with certain things happening in my life.

One party I remember that my younger brother invited me to. The atmosphere was nice but everyone was so young. High Schoolers and I didn't enjoy it one bit. I never went to another one again

No, I wasn't interested in either drugs or parties in HS

No way! I have never done or tried drugs. I played guitar in a band and we played a couple of parties though.

I never went to public school so none of that for me..

Not many. Most of the people I knew were in the neighborhood, and we grew up together. The rest were my older brother's friends. He is about one year older, and was popular and into sports. I am a nerdy loner. I had no friends and still do not.

In college I was more isolated and mostly studied, and only went to a few parties. I also had no friends, except my roommate for three years. We got a long well enough. I was best man at his wedding. Sadly, he cannot stand her now. We never really kept in touch after the wedding, though. We all lived far apart.

I have lived far apart from most people from my youth. I talk to coworkers, who have been around a while, and attend office parties. But I am not close to anybody.

I talk on the phone to my parents about twice a month. They live hundreds of miles away.

In my 20's I occasionally drank too much at parties. Later, I only drank occasionally at meals, or after softball games (I played for a while with people from my office).

I tried a cigarette once as a kid and hated it so never tried it again. I hate the smoke.

I have smelled weed but I do not think I ever got high from it. I also hate the smell of its smoke.

Now, my only social life is on here, in occasional chats with coworkers, and talking to my parents. My entertainment is YouTube on my regular TV (I rarely watch cable channels anymore), one video game that takes a while to play and I usually lose, so try again. And again, and again, until I win or cannot feel my legs anymore!

I like to drive aimlessly around the mountains or walk among flowers. But I lead a dull life.

Partying is overrated. It's fun when you're young, not such a good look when you're older. And of course it depends on how much partying you do.

I went to lots of parties in high school, and there were drugs everywhere: pot, cocaine, qualudes, speed, Valium (it was the 80s, and I lived in an affluent area near L.A.), but I was 105 lbs and got drunk off two wine coolers then drank water the rest of the night, so drugs didn’t appeal to me. Lots of parties in college, too. I was in a sorority. 😄

I’m allergic to hemp, so I can’t do mj. The smell of it makes me nauseous, so I just drank alcohol in high school and college. I enjoy microdosing shrooms now and then now, though.

Did neither.

only if you consider alcohol a drug and count tire fires with about 10 people in the woods as parties

Name a drug, I did it in spades. Too long to list here. In retrospect I missed out on so many opportunities back then. Your concern of going out to parties is likely misplaced as I personally found out drugs robs you of your ambition, drive and motivation and gives back very little. Doing your homework and keeping entertainment to renting movies on Saturday night was time well spent.

Btw, I have a cousin who accidentally OD'd so badly on too much acid that he had to be hospitalized, can no longer function properly, struggles with reality, and cannot go to public places without his father who has to care for him the rest of his life. Don't go there.

After I finished the 8th Grade and just before I started High School, I made a personal vow to myself that I would stay sober and never give in to peer pressure.
And what my personal vow entailed was no smoking, no alcohol and no getting into narcotics.

By my 4th year of High School, I did start drinking as a way of coping with some things that I was going through.

It started with a glass wine with dinner when I was 17 then I started to acquire a taste for hard liquor, my main preference being for vodka.

And even though I did break part of my personal vow, which was never to drink, I still stuck to the other parts of my aforementioned vow, which was never to smoke or do drugs.

Nope

It’s all a bit of a blur 🤷‍♂. lol
