Nope I don't judge. I do it with them :P. (Although I would never ever try prescription drugs that aren't prescribed for me). I pretty much don't judge anyone, except for people who judge my friends and me.

Seriously...?

I look down on it so much.

Too risky.

I think partying is a massive waste of time.

I'm waiting until college to even consider drinking, I think.

I have some friends or aquaintances who do harder drugs than pot or alcohol. I certainly don't judge them: they are still just people with finite will-power who, for the most part, have been though really horrible stuff in their lives that they can't help.

As for my friends who recreationally drink or smoke? Who am I to even consider judging them? I'm not some all-mighty god who knows what's best for eveyone...some people in this thread seem to think that they themselves are ^_^

Whatever, i like to get wasted maybe once a month or so and I have CC-caliber stats. I started drinking freshman year but the thing is, i never *told* my general peers about it--I only discussed it with the people i partied w/. That's how it should be done IMO, any other way and you're just craving attention.

Btw post #38 is the best in this thread.

i'd rather my friends not, because i don't want them to get in trouble, but that wouldn't make me think any differently of them.

No, I don't judge anyone. If someone does, I might think he/she is somewhat foolish. However, I don't treat them any differently.

Drink - No

Smoke - Yes

Drugs - Yes

Drinking is normal for high school students but drugs are just stupid and nothing but harmful. I have no respect for anyone who does them.

For all those of you who say we shouldn't judge others based on the choices they make, what if they decide to start killing babies? What about then, it's just another choice they made, right?

Or maybe some choices set bad examples and are just plain stupid.

I absolutely DO judge people that drink, do drugs, or smoke.

I dont judge people who drink or smoke, because I feel that even though they may be underage, atleast the activity is legal (once you are of age I mean). Drugs on the other hand, are way different. I do judge those people. Drugs just ruin your life. They are illegal for a reason- because they can cause a great deal of damage to your body. I would never go up to these people and say anything mean, but I do try and avoid them.

^and drinking DOESN'T ruin your life? it DOESN'T cause a great deal of damage to your body?

I absolutely do judge peers who drink etc. Even if it is their choice to eff up their lives, it still affects others around them. Plus it's just gross.

Alcohol, not that much; but smoking and drugs, definitely, I would stay away from them if possible.

You can't compare drugs and alcohol consumption to killing babies. I think it's fair not to judge anyone as long as their decisions don't hurt anyone else. I personally engage in recreational drugs, but I don't drive under the influence or let them interfere with what's really important in my life. As long as you're being smart about it, I don't see how it's that big of a deal. The ones who do end up hurting people (driving drunk or abusing loved ones, for example) deserve to be behind bars.

I try not to but sometimes I hear rumors about them and think well if they did not do whatever people would not talk about them
