Hey guys so I just finished grade 9 and my counselor near the end of the year asked me to leave and go to alternative school because of drugs (he couldn’t prove it, but rumors had started up – I was recovering from heavy drug use and stuff so ya). The alternative school I’m going to has only 22 students, and like 2 teachers and a couple staff. I know a couple people at this school but they’ve both gotten into smoking crack and I have just gotten off meth and I don’t want to go down this path again but I used to be friends with these dudes, and they’re super chill and lots of shared interests and all that but I’m honestly scared I’ll get into harsh drugs again and I’m at the point where if people around me are doing it, I will probably do it because I’ll remember and crave. Like I know this is a really stupid question but I’m gonna be in a confined, small area with old friends who do crack…And btw the last couple months I got into a lot of arguements with my other friends so like IDK what to do. I probably won’t be talking to anyone from my old school. Also at this particular school there are either gang affiliated (they come from a ghetto like part of town, they’re friends with gangsters) or these old crackhead friends. Any advice on dealing with these guys? Before they got kicked out of my old school they often crashed at my house because they were kicked out, and this one guy liked me and I’ve always liked him but if I go out with him it’ll get worse even more.
How do I deal with next year? I’ve just recieved the acceptance into the school and it IS the answer for my schooling and I am for sure going, I just need a bit of advice. Thanks.
PS. No need, to tell me to report them to smoking crack trust me it’s fine, I’ve known these guys for a while and it’s sort of a “drug/rock n roll community” that I’m included but don’t want to land face first into the gutter again…
