Opinions: Drugs, Alcohol, and Sex

I come from a very liberal and strict family, so all three of those are a definite no-no while I'm in high school and college. I personally don't think alcohol, cannabis, etc. are absolutely the devil for teens, but while our minds are still developing it's really easy to become dependent/addicted or for these substances to invade our lives. I'm going to stick to a "zero-tolerance policy" for as long as I can, and even then only drink in moderation. I really think drinking and getting high should be even more discouraged than it already is. Sex is not as "taboo" and people in high school like to explore and flaunt their assets, but premature sex is still very, very dangerous for girls and boys, who run the risk of having a baby because he didn't pull out / use a condom. I think kids can begin to regulate themselves when they turn 16/17 and should be able to decide for themselves what they want. TL;DR I believe that teens shouldn't ever do drugs or alcohol, sex is okay after 16. Knowing that many of you are still in high school or college as well, what are your opinions on underage drinking, drugging, and sex?

  • Underage drinking? Iffy. I'm not okay with it if you're not a legal adult. But if you're 18? Don't give a shit. Sex? As long as you're mature, I don't care. Drugs? Pot is fine. Use it responsibly.

    • Drugs: If it's prescription then it's fine. If not then you're -blam!-ing stupid for doing them. Alcohol: Should be used in moderation, getting piss drunk is incredibly stupid. Sex: It's great. If it's unprotected then you're pretty stupid and I hope you contract something. Unless you're trying to have a kid haha

      • Alcohol - Don't care, so long as the person drinking it is over the age of 18 and drinking in moderation. Drugs - While weed at least should become legal, and I won't judge others for smoking it, keep that shit away from me. I don't want to be anywhere near it. Sex - No real opinion yet, as I am still a virgin, but so long as a person is over the age of 18 and not an STD ridden slut I don't care.

        Well underage drinking isn't good in public,but if your around 21 and in your house then your good to go, now drugs,definitely no, and Sex is great but not needed, just a necessity that some people do anything for. Depends on the person religion so best for marriage since you have someone you can trust for anything

      • I could care less what people do. It's just when people think they are "cool" for doing it that gets me. Yay for you, you got wasted had a horrible headache and said it sucked. But it's still "fun". I don't understand.

        Agree, alcohol and drugs is a waste of time and money, It's not worth doing large amounts on just to impress friends. Disagree, no one is [b]ever[/b] too young to have sex, once a male has his first [i]impure thought[/i], his body is ready. I've been wanting to do it since I could remember

          Alcohol - When hell freezes over, even then I wouldn't touch it. Disgusting stuff, not for taste but for what it does to people. About the only half religious/spiritual/whatever belief I have is to emphasise clarity of mind and at no point distort your perceptions for pleasure or recreation. Drugs - Again, I would die before touching any of that shite. See above but also have a look at what it does to people. Sex - Not really relevant for me, if people are in a committed relationship I don't see why not but promiscuity is as disgusting to me as it is to a firebrand conservative preacher. However from as neutral a point of view I can stomach before feeling ill (I do not exaggerate here, this shit makes me feel sick in my stomach) -Sex, once you are 16 then it's up to you. Be as promiscuous and vile as you wish, or keep some moral dignity intact, it's up to you. -Alcohol, 18+ /story. I can barely tolerate that stuff around me without flipping out like Flippy from Happy Tree Friends but any adult should be able to consume it in moderation. I would throttle the motherloving shite out of it legislation wise and cost wise. -Drugs, Nope. Just Nope. The one... caveat I might be prepared to make is with regards to cannabis. Provided you don't mention it or praise it like some scumbag pothead, then it's no worse than alcohol. I reserve the right to headbutt you for consuming either around me, however I can usually be tolerant long enough to leave the room. God help you if you are drunk near me though, I'd leave you on the floor to die in your own vomit. Did I mention I'm a rather unhinged and... vicious... person?

        • Sex: it's awesome, no issues with people having it in high school (like myself). it's a natural behavior, and a fun as hell one at that, so i don't see the big deal. Alcohol: I don't mind it at all, getting smashed can be fun with friends. High school drinking can be risky because people don't know their limits, and teen drunk driving is real, and dangerous. but i don't see why not align ourselves with Europe and set the age to 18. moderation is key Drugs: if it's weed we're talking about i fully support legalization. It's a harmless plant, has a lot of medicinal value yet to be explored due to it's federal illegality, and holy hell does it make pink floyd sound awesome. fun, harmless, and would bring a lot of good. now i've smoked pot, but that's really the only drug i'd touch. a lot of drugs are illegal because they do terrible things to your body and mind. wether or not a lot of the hard drugs should be legal, i dunno. but I do feel that weed should be completely legal

          I don't tolerate any of the three for myself. I don't see them worthwhile nor pleasurable.

          • Drugs I don't think that certain drugs should be illegal, and vice versa. But I think that drugs are a crutch that many people need, for whatever their reasons are. I've got better things to do that -blam!- around with them. Never cared for them. Alcohol I don't have much of an opinion here. I drink alcohol rarely. Mainly because I don't care about it much. You have people who are good with it, and people who get drunk and then hop behind the driver seat of cars. Some people get really dumb when they consume a lot of this, and it's stupid. Sex Again, I don't have much of an opinion here. You might find this strange, or you might not - I don't give a damn either way, but I never cared for it. It's just a brief little experience that a lot of our world has become fascinated with. Nothing special about it unless you try to make it special.

          • Drugs and Alcohol, nobody under 18 may consume, nobody under 20 may purchase outside restaurants/bars. (helps prevent high school seniors from buying for other kids) Sex, nobody under 18 unless there's less than a 2 year difference down to 15. Nobody under 15.

          • I feel like everytime i go into game chat, theres always someone saying how they need to go outside to BLAZE IT and such. I don't know why they feel the need to announce it like i'm going to have a high opinion of them. You don't see me asking for attention when i need to take a bathroom break.

          • Moderation applies to everything. Over use/abuse of those listed in the OP is wrong, always moderate what you do. Otherwise I have absolutely no problem with any of them.

          • I've never done drugs or alcohol before and I'd only ever do them in the future if I was drunk (geeet it?? *sounds of crickets*). But yeah, once of legal age you should be allowed to drink and drug responsibly. I don't get the issue with sex though, so long as you're sex educated and are safe about it there's no reason why you shouldn't perform a natural and healthy human process, even if you're underage.

            • Drugs and Alcohol are nasty shit you want nowhere near you, and I'd say sex is okay if it's not a one-night-stand type of deal.
