There are groups of kids in my area of the state that get together at their friends' houses with parents home and have a great time. They make their own fun away from alcohol parties. They are extremely social and kids from competing towns get together at these homes that are supervised with parents at home for fun and socializing. They have beaten the peer pressure by making their own fun.
Hey... I didn't say it was IMPOSSIBLE to socialize away from alochol... I just said it's not EASY when probably a large number of your peers drink.
Baller I see you don't party, good for you, I'm proud of you and all the others who are taking this stand. My thought is, you may need new peers, if this is their lifestyle and not yours... just a thought
That is the tough part about high school... you really don't get to pick your classmates. Your class is your class and those are your friends probably from K-12.
And to comment to Riders thing:
Drinking during the summer is not breaking NDHSAA rules. It is against the law, but it is not against NDHSAA rules. If a student or a student/athlete gets caught drinking during the summer, at some schools, that alcohol violation will have no effect on their season.They might serve their punishment in other ways. Every school is different when it comes to summer alcohol violations. So like I said, a kid that is drinking during the summer is breaking the law, not NDHSAA rules. IMO if you are not breaking NDHSAA rules you shouldn't be punished by the NDHSAA, and drinking in the summer is not breaking NDHSAA rules.
