need help with a situation
what are you supposed to do when 4 of your very close friends dont approve of your habits and basically want you to choose between them and raves?
i dont know what to do becuase i love my friends but i cant get enough of the of meeting new people, the best music, and the whole awsome feeling of a rave. |

I don't really have a problem like that at the moment, so i can't be of any service. All my friends have an awesome attitude like "Hey, it's none of my business, so I'll stay out of it". I have only ever been to 2 raves, but when it comes to E and other drugs, that is there attitude. A lot of the people I hang out with are into the same thing, so it's all good. Just good times and no guilt.

ive only been to 4 raves and i like it so i think that im just going to talk to them and hopefully they will understand where im coming from. i just hate that they think that i cant have fun without drugs. im just glad that a few of my friends do come to raves with me and we have fun. thanx everybody

i have the same problem now when new people i meet find out i rave(d). they change thier attitude and i've just learned that if they can't accept it then obviously they arn't worth the friendship.
although most of my best friends still mock me and make fun of me when i go to the occasional rave. |

unfortunately its very hard for people who have never been to a party, or never hung around ravers, or who are extremely close minded to realize that it isnt just all about getting really high and swinging around glowsticks
this has always been the way for so many of them rave=drugs (especially e) i dont think taking them to a rave is the best answer...not at all...if they're already against it...they wouldnt even go in the first place..like they really wanna pay money to see exactly what they thought was gonna happen...a bunch of really high kids... what about if they didnt like smoking? would you make your friends smoke a whole pack so they understood? no. what you have to do is talk to them, explain that you do/do not do drugs... that it is your choice...they are not your parents...they cant exactly tell you what to do. but think about something: are you ditching them to go to parties? cause maybe they're just pissed about you leaving them behind to go out with people they dont know... |

bring your friends out partying with you one time and show them what its like. Maybe once they know they wont be so anal about it. And also maybe if you can prove to them that you arent doing drugs 24-7 maybe then they will accept it.
I think thier issue is probabally more so with you doing drugs than raves itself. Obviously your friends care about you and dont wanna see you od or become a junky,so set thier minds at ease by doing what I said above. And if you are doing lots of drugs, ease up. Always do chems within moderation, sure its fun to drugs at first 24-7 but after a year or two shit starts to get thick and then it turns around and bites you in the ass. |

Friends that impose peer pressure in order to get what they want are not truly friends. Friends should accept you for who you are, the good and the bad, and not judge you by the choices you make.
Just think about these words and see if they are true: Whether or not you are my friend will not change the outcome of my life. Put each of them into that position, close your eyes and think about it and you will find the answers you need. |

raves aren't worth your friends and if you have a problem seeing that your obviosuly somewhat of a idiot..think about things before you ask stupid questions. |

If they are true friends they would come out and experience a rave with you and try and understand what it is you like about them. If they don't like raves because of the rumors hey have heard then they aren't very bright friends.

i left my 2 bestfriends in highschool and chose the "rave culture".. they were the ones who brought me into the scene and decided that doing drugs at home was a lot cooler. then they got worst and worst with the drugs...so i chose to distance myself off. if they are your true friends they'd appreicate ure choices and let you make ure own decisions. a rave lasts a night.. u can be their day time/week day friend too. its unfair for them to make you choose. then again.. is there a reason for them to make you choose? maybe u are pushing the limits and hurting yourself in the the rave scene (common prob would be a drug problem)..just think if they're right in any way.
