Shell, I've read the answers you've been given so far and a couple of them are pretty good and a couple of them are pretty dumb!. I think kids drink for the same reasons adults do, with,perhaps, two additional reasons!. Adults!.!.!.!.normal adults, drink because it relaxes them and allows them to feel less pressured and more at ease in situations which cause them to lack confidence or be nervous!. In today's culture, we're often rushed and trying to do too much in too little time, and many of us feel alienated because we have few friends!. Life is so hectic we don't even know who lives next door!. The problem is that alcohol is a drug and is addictive just like most drugs, and if you're really shy and / or insecure it can become a crutch upon which you depend until it becomes the only way you can cope!. That's the process that leads to addiction!. It's been shown that some people are genetically predisposed to become addicts!. It's usually indicated by other members of the family being addicted to alcohol!.!.!.!.aunts, uncles, siblings, grandparents, et cetera!. For these people, drinking is a death sentence unless they get help!.!.!.!.and for some, even if they do get help!.
My brother was an alcoholic and killed himself!. He just couldn't stand living anymore!.That was 3 yrs!. ago; I'm taking his ashes back to Pennsylvania to bury next weekend!. For kids, there's two additional reasons: first, it's a form of rebellion; adults make so many rules and often treat you as if you're brain-dead!. It's a way of thumbing your nose at authority!. Secondly, it makes them feel grown up!. I think it's the same reason kids start to smoke!. It's a tough decision, Shell!. Whatever you decide, make sure you do it because you want to and not because your friends want you to!. Be your own man! It scares me to think of you growing up out there and having to cope with so many new, and often painful situations!. Thank God I didn't have to deal with stuff like ecstasy and street drugs and casual sex and aids and!.!.!.!.!.well, you get the idea!. Sometimes I don't know how kids manage to grow up to be "normal" at all!. Thank God most of them do, because the world's going to hell!. I hope you turn out to be one of the ones who try to save it! Courage, Shell, and take care of yourself!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I use to drink a couple of drinks or beers when I was in High School but i never got drunk or did drugs, neither i got in a car with a drunk driver!.
I think it just makes you feel grown up, independent and in control!. It's kind of ironic because the least of things you are when drunk is in control!.
But you know, it is a good thing you don't like to get drunk it shows that you are a mature, intelligent and confident person!. I never let anyone tell me what to do, neither I follow the flock into the abyss!. Just be yourself and your real friends will respect you and accept you for who you are!.
Have fun, but at the same time you can be a responsible person!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

This is a good thing!. If your in high school your probably to young to drink anyways, also it is very unhealthy for your body!. Don't let your friends pressure you to do things you don't want to do!.
Hopefully them drinking is just a phase, try and convince them to do something more fun for everyone and less reckless!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well drinking raises confidence and i think a lot of kids in high school have lower confidence and its a way for them to feel better about themselves, others i think just want to look or be cool like everyone else!. the reason depends on each person, but as long as people are safe and smart about it i think its whatever!. dont drink and drive, and dont become an alcoholic!.
