This really made me think. About high school because that was exactly what I was scared of... {Falling into peer pressure} I'm going to be a freshman this year and I'm the type of person who likes to meet new people and fit in with them, but I think that if I just focus on what I know is right such as grades n stuff I know I will be fine.

I hear what you're saying about being yourself but just saying it is a lot easier then actually doing it. No one can say they don't care at all about how others think about them and not lie. The point is doing what YOU want or what's best for you, no matter how others may judge you.

Hey Jacobi know how you feel I'm 14 and in 8th grade I have a niece who looks up to me too and although I don't notice that she copies my every move I still don't want to be a bad influence on her, and that's why I quit smoking, it was hard because I had been for a year, but because I knew it was wrong and my niece had been picking up on it, I just had to stop, I knew I didn't want her to go down the path I did.

This was a very inspiring podcast. I, myself have not done drugs, drank alcohol, or smoked. Listening to this podcast lets me know I made the right choice. I know many people who have had experiences like Jacob, and also gotten out of it, this shows me that it is possible for everyone to get help.

I agree with Jacob, I think that if you choose to make a decision only because it's "cool" or because you're pressured to do it, it really brings to yours and others attention that is really running your life. And one day that choice that you made is going to comeback sooner or later, every action has a reaction. And its your choice on what you want that reaction to be... what people said wont matter 10 years from now, so think if its really worth it
