I have found my “group” in public school and they were all good fun until this year. I live in a major HS party town, and now that my friends are into drinking/smoking pot it makes me not want to go out even more. I do have one or two friends that don’t partake in these activities so on occasion we do still get together for lunch and such. I don’t want to seem judgemental against my friends who drink- I am totally aware that a lot of towns have this problem and I know that college will mos likely only be worse. It’s just kind of annoying to have to deal with parents who don’t mind having 50 14 year olds in their back yard drinking, smoking pot and basically having a free for all. It doesn’t entice me. I do a ton of community service and if I do homeschool I would apply to volunteer to serve one meal at our local soup kitchen, so that I know I will be socializing with people besides my family every day.

<p>If your parents understand where you are coming from and if you stick to your community service and potential volunteering opportunity, then you will be fine school wise. But you might want to look into a social club or some sort as well.</p>
