Should I drink? I’m 14

You shouldn't drink. Don't drink because your friends are. You're 14, you're still going through adolence. Your brain is still growing and developing. Also, drinking at a young age puts you at risk for alcohol poisoning. There's been a lot of cases of underage drinking where that person had to get their stomach pump. The younger you start drinking, the more likely you are to develop alcoholism. One cup can lead to two cups then three then before you know it, you're binge drinking. Drinking a lot can result in your kidney and liver failing. Drinking at a young age will affect you in the long run. Trust me. You already took a pledge not to drink, well stick by it! You can do it! You're 14, why would you even want to get drunk? There's other ways to have a good time WITHOUT getting wasted. If you do in end deciding on drinking, then be safe. Don't drink and drive.

There are way more cons than pros. I can guarantee that you will regret it in the future.

People don't realize until it's too late how habit forming and eventually chemically addicting alcohol can be. It's kind of way more common than people will admit. Enjoy not feeling like you have to have a drink while you still can... though it sounds like you are already feeling that way which is maybe not a good place to start from.

Ive felt the same way, when i was with my friend (just last year) we went to her guy friends house and they all had beer there. I knew that im too young to drink and everything but a apart of me wanted to do it. I kinda delt with peer pressure beacause my friend drak some and nudged it to me i took 1 little sip and put it down because she wouldnt leave me alone, if i was thirsty i drank water for the rest of the night. She drank the whole bottle & ever since then, everyday she goes out smokin weed & drinking. Its disgusting... Personally, you shouldnt start drinking yet you can lose friends & gain bad friends who do bad things and make you do them with out even realizing! Stay to your pledge! :)

Don't go back on your plegde, you don't need to drink to have a good time :)

Drinking is stupid. I'll be 21 in like 3 months and I don't even want to drink. It's also harmful to our brains as well. Our brain isn't fully develop until we're 25. Taking drugs like that can be harmful to your growth and brain production.

I think that if you made the pledge to yourself not to drink you shouldnt go back on that. also your young so drinking under age while your body is still growing could be very dangerous. thirdly, since your boyfriend is against it and wont talk to you if you do drink you should respect his wishes. relationships are about compromise, im not saying do everything he says all the time but learning to compromise is a big part of a healthy relationship.

if you make a pledge to yourself not to drink is a good thing but, keeping it is for the best, drink doesn't affect to much if keep at minimum but in your age makes a great deal on your healthy, keep that in mind!!

dont drink you will just ruin your life. Especially if your boyfriend wont talk to you

please do not! alcohol is such a damaging substance. it is literally poison.

Stay strong to your promises and convictions. Don't drink. You'll have plenty of time to drink when you're older.

hey more people are telling you not to including yourself. honestly i find that if you do drink it wont be too big of a deal as long as you drink responsibly but i am not telling you to drink. but in your case you have made an oath to not do so and your boyfriend who cares for you is telling you not to so please make a decision yourself but know that there is a better path and a worse path

thanks everyone! I decided to not drink, it's not worth it. After seeing my friends completely drunk i am glad it wasn't me embarrassing myself. Thanks!
