You most def. did the right thing,
I'm 15 and I def. have the Good girl label, and I hate it
especially when my friends are planning a crazy night, and the invite me, and someone else chimes in "Don't bother, she's a good-girl"
its very annoying, but you did the right thing,
you were really strong.
I would suggest that next time instead of letting that upset you,
you should just simply say something along the lines of
"Nah, man I don't fuck with that shit"
Excuse my language,
but that way you don't sound stupid.
or if you don't really talk like that, say
"Nah I'm good, I don't smoke"
You def did the right thing
Congrats hunni!

I know not many people are going to agree with me but...

1) I think it's great you stuck to your values. You're a strong person!

2) If you *really* wanted to try it, you aren't going to get addicted with one puff.

I'm not telling you to try it, but it sounded like it really upset you that you didn't. I have a "good girl" label, I rarely try anything, but I have taken a puff of a friend's a cig once. Just... a novelty experience. Nothing I've ever wanted to repeat -- I think it's an awful habit to get into. Just... I wanted to try. To be honest, I think "peer pressure" can be over-dramatized.

I just wanted to add that, because I always felt guilty and like I was a bad person and not sticking to my values when I did stuff like that, when in reality there was no harm done. I don't want you to think you're "bad" because you want one puff of a cig.

Anyways, best of luck with everything! It sounds like you know what you're doing

Hey i read, and hope you are feeling less like a "loser" becasue you aren't one. It was a smart decision on your part. I mean its a hard habit to stop once you are addicted plus it is expensive.

I hope you stay strong on other decisions that you will encounter as you grow up. Cuz you know there will be many more.

Stay Smart!

Hugs

Heya,
im glad you said no

you shouldnt be so hard on yourself, youre the one piling on the peer pressure!
school is hard enough already without you making it worse

but if it really would up your confedence to try one fag, then yeah, one drag really isnt going to kill you...
but be careful adopting that attitude, because one drag may be ok, but if you start to think you know, one joint...one pill... one hit, wont kill me, thats when things can go wrong...
hope your ok
