It is very true that in the age that we live in a lot of teens smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol. Its also true that at most house parties or club parties there is alcohol involved. So it seems natural that one would drink. Smoking is also one of those things that seems like everyone does and it seems everywhere you go you see people smoking.
But the truth is that you don’t have to drink or smoke to be considered cool. Think about it, its not very cool to drink alcohol at a party then drive while you are drunk and get into a car accident just because you were drunk and driving. All that doesn’t sound very cool to me. Not to mention that when people drink alcohol the more alcohol they drink the lower their awareness level goes, which makes it so that they don’t realize what they are doing while they are drunk. When people are drunk they tend to do very stupid things.
It has become the cool thing to smoke while just hanging out with your friends or while at a club or party. The even cooler thing to do would be if you were the only one not smoking and you stood up for yourself and simply said that you don’t like smoking and that you don’t want to do it. That would automatically make you cooler, since you have the courage to stand up for yourself and not just give in to smoking because “everyone” does it.
The same thing applies to drinking alcohol. It might seem that the only way to really have fun at a party or a club would be to drink and get drunk. But that’s not true at all. One can still party and go clubbing but there doesn’t have to be alcohol to make it fun. People might try to convince you that only alcohol will make it fun. But when this happens you just once again have to stand up for yourself and not let yourself get influenced easily by what others think and say.
The truly cool and great people are the people that are not afraid to say and do what they believe is right, even though it might be totally different compared to what everyone else is doing. A truly cool person is a person that is not afraid to stand up for himself despite all attempts to sway his decisions.
