I had always been that girl that would say no to alcohol, drugs, and boys. I didn't even have my first kiss until I was 16 years old. I am not religious at all, I just hated the thought of being deemed a junkie, an alcoholic, or a slut. And I knew what the side effects of drugs and alcohol were and I didn't want to risk it, nor risking having sex and getting pregnant). I moved to a completely new country, as I had my whole life, and met a bunch of different people whom introduced me to other people, etc etc. I met these two girls who got drunk all the time, smoked weed, and hooked up with guys to see how many they could get. I changed. Since a year and a half ago, when this all started (in 10th grade), I have gotten so drunk that I've passed out on a toilet 3 different occasions, nearly passed out in a parking lot, puked in a clubs bathroom, I've taken multiple showers and not remembering them the following morning. I've gotten so high to the point that I can't talk. At the time I was with my best friend, a guy, and his friends. People would ask me questions but I couldn't respond. I was felt like I was paralyzed. But the one thing that I am glad I went against my "morals" was the fact that I had sex. I met this amazing guy, who is perfect for me in ever single way. The first time we hooked up we agreed we wouldn't have anything serious because he was leaving for college. However, our relationship got more and more serious and we started doing things. We had sex, a lot. And we both agreed that if we hadn't then we wouldn't be together now, nearly a year after. He has helped me through depression, loss of friends, basically having no life outside of the computer and him (skype mostly), and being pretty socially awkward. So despite every "bad" choice I have ever made, this is the best bad choice in the world. I'm not saying that you should go against what you believe in, but I think people should let their guard down a bit and let people in (figuratively or literally).
