"It seems like more than half of the kids in my school smoke pot. What do I do other than just say "no" when it seems to be all around me? "

Although it may seem like everyone is smoking marijuana in your school, they are really not. In fact the majority of teens do not smoke marijuana. In 2007, only 16 percent of teens ages 12-17 reported using marijuana in the past month. There are plenty of kids at your school making the smart choice not to use it. It would be a great opportunity for you to build friendships by seeking these kids out. You will find a lot of people your age who aren’t using drugs and are doing well in sports, academics, and other areas of life. Spending time with these kinds of people, being a part of these groups, and saying "no" and meaning it will keep you strong in your conviction.

Try one of these comebacks when you're feeling the pressure to try drugs.
