How to Conquer Difficult People - Affirmations

Problem Description:
You moved into a new town where everyone seems to think drugs and alcohol is the answer. On your first day of school, you go to class hoping to meet new friends and to your surprise, you meet those friends. As you become acquainted with these people, they begin introducing you to their world, which includes drugs and alcohol.

The town you moved from was less demanding, now you are feeling pressured and not certain what to do although you had thorough explaining that drugs are bad.

Consider:
Your new friends tell you, you are not cool since you told them no at what time they asked you to take drugs with them. The friends tell you that if you do not try the drugs then you are no longer their friends.

Inside the Problem
First, if you are not comfortable with self, and have not established self-esteem, confidence, and self-assurance you might be in some big trouble. No means you don't want to do something, since it is against your beliefs. Asserting the truth is the logical thing to do in any situation. If you do truthfully not want to try drugs, then you will not try drugs regardless of what is at stake. Secondly, these people can't be friends to self, what makes you think they can be friends with you.

Saying no is your right and choice and if these people do not respect your rights, then you need to find different friends.

Different Description Same Problem:
Ok, you've lived in the town for some time and all your friends are trying drugs and using alcohol. Some of the friends you grew up with while others are fresh from the market.

Case Scenario:
Your best friend who you've known all your life is pressuring you to take drugs. You cave into his demands, and gradually you run into the law, go to court, sit, and wonder why you are in this situation.

Solution:
NO matter how long you know a person you should never do drugs. If your friends approach you demanding you to do drugs with them, you should assertively say no. If the friend continues to pressure you, you can assertively tell him/her that if this continues you will have to find new friends. I really care for you and what happens to you, but what you are doing is wrong. The path you are taking will lead to big time trouble, and I feel sad that you will not listen to intelligent advice. I hope someday that you reconsider what you are doing so that we can rejoin in our friendship and live a more productive lifestyle. Point out that life has more to offer than things that will cause a person harm. I ask that you look into these fun things before continuing your actions, so that maybe you can see life isn't as bad as you feel it is.

Many teenagers will try drugs out of curiosity and peer pressure. The reason they cave into their desires is because these children have not established their identity or the course of life they wish to take. As parents, it is important that you reinforce how dangerous drugs are and help your children to establish their identity and direction in life. Failing to do this could lead you into a world of chaos. I currently live in a town where everyone it seems is on drugs. It is difficult, yet it is possible to say no and let your no mean exactly what it says. Friends are not that important that you have to take these types of risks in life, accordingly destroying your own life in the process. Learn to feel comfortable with you and good, true friends will come your way.
