I am 15 and a smoker but it was not because of peer pressure. I kinda always wanted to smoked and actually pressured another girl into teaching me. I guess a few of my friends have followed me in taking up smoking but it was their choice.
when i was high school, i didn't smoke. i had notice that was easy for my classmates to hang around with kids that smoke.
your right, it was their choice to follow you or not. it is ok to smoke cigarettes, but not pot.
in long run, you will get cancer. you always quit later. it take more character for you to have the guts to quit. i rather have you smoke than drink. drinking is very bad for you, screw up your life. i don't drink.
it is normal at your age, do both, because it is the cool thing at your age. when i was a teenager, i thought a cigarette, something that you need to fit in with my peers.
i thought smoking was stupid, because like drinking, that i wouldn't face my problems, but hide in a cigarette or a bottle. was not my destiny. i choose not smoke or or drink. i choose pride over the two evils in high school. i have never look back in my choice.
today and even high school, i call a cigarette, " confidence stick ". i call it, i have notice people who smoke your " this stick " . people get a lot of confidence in themselves. i feel that people need to this stick is " copping out ", and people don't have the courage face their problems on their own. but you need a stick to make you brave.
i want you think about what i am said to think about this in future. i hope high school or soon, that you will quit, because you won't need the cigarette anymore.
i have impression, you feel guilty or little bit that force someone to teach you smoke. that you were curious how cigarette taste, that is a very normal. you shouldn't feel guilty for that. you are right, this person didn't need to teach how to smoke. this person probably was force to learned how to smoke, too.
don't worry about any guilty, you feel about someone teaching you how smoke. the question right now, do you really this " this stick "? you think about that for awhile.
i am not here to preach you or anything else, this my opinion only. you are very young, you can stop smoking anytime. when you get older, think about that whys, you are smoking.
but then you are holding your cigarette in your hand, ask yourself. can i solve my problems ( looking at your cigarette in you hand . ) with or without this?
