| No. It's none of my business. I don't really care about what they do with their own body. | |

| Well, no for drinking, that's legal and fairly harmless, and I really don't care that the law says 21 because in many other countries it's 18, and the whole 21 thing seems outdated to me.
With smoking, it is legal, so technically I shouldn't, but it's so obviously harmful for everyone (unlike- arguably- weed and alcohol) that I can't stand it.
I don't know anyone who does hard drugs, but I do kind of judge people who take Adderall without a prescription just because it's taking an unfair advantage. Weed- idk, it's pretty much alright with me as long as you don't blow smoke in my face. | |

| When it comes to drugs, i do judge that they are making bad decisions. Really bad. There are often circumstances behind drug use, but still...i try to avoid associations with people who use drugs on a regular basis. Not judging them as a person, just their actions.
Now smoking...that's just disgusting. Do people understand that a single pack of cigarettes costs $5+? What a waste of money. It stinks up the smoker and makes everything stink around it.
As for drinking...not as huge a deal imo, still not good but more of a "teenager rebellion" thing, so I don't really judge as much | |

| They don't do it in front of me, so I don't really care.
Plus even when they do, it's funny watching people get drunk.  | |

| I get drunk all the time. It's fun. You should go outside once in a while. | |

| I'm only concerned when it happens to people I care about. Otherwise, go ahead, party hardy.
Although I do find it amusing as hell when certain people I know proclaim, "IMA GO TO STANFORD" and the like, and yet put NO effort whatsoever into school and spend their days drinking, smoking, and partying. A sick part of me can't wait to see where they end up in five years... | |

| My best friend used to drink in 9th grade (last year). In 10th grade, she realized that it just wasn't worth it, and gave up. | |

| Personally, I don't care much. While I will intervene if it gets out of control (no, haven't had to do that yet, but that is my policy right now), if its under control, I don't mind. No I don't know (very well) anyone that drinks/smokes/does drugs.
(By the way, smoking is probably the one I hate most -- for reasons already given by many others on this thread)
@tetrisfan
You are on the high school forum too? Interesting. And I guess you are lucky, that you know people who will confide such things too you. Of course, my best friends don't drink or anything but still. And consider yourself lucky that people probably don't consider you an "innocent little lamb" who needs to be protected from such things. I am considered this way still, and there is a good reason for it, but no way I am revealing those on a public forum!  | |

| I try not to, but it depends.
If they're doing it and they don't do it around me and they're being smart about it, I could care less...go ahead and throw your future down the drain.
If they're doing it and either doing it around me or being stupid about it, yes, I will definitely judge them. | |

| Well, I'm for the drinking age being lowered and legalization of some drugs, but I don't drink/do drugs because I don't like things that relinquish control of my body. I think people should be allowed to do what they want if it doesn't hurt anyone else, but I can't help but judge people who are constantly wasted or whatever. And anyone who drinks and drives should be locked up... I don't really get the point of drinking to get totally wasted, either. Like, you look like an idiot and wake up feeling like ****....
Bah. | |

| I suppose I do judge to an extent. I don't really know how to judge, since I have no experience with drugs and alcohol...but I find that most of the kids I've met so far who do go to parties and drink alcohol tend to be the ones who are really self conscious and fake, and I don't respect them in those aspects. But I have some friends who I know do have that kind of lifestyle, and as long as they're sober when they hang out with me, I'm fine. | |
