Dear Payton,


     My friends are all going to this High School party this weekend. I’m only in 7th grade, and I’m not comfortable going. I only know a few of the people that’ll be there. I don’t want to skip the party, because I don’t want my friends to think I’m scared. Can you help me?


  Sincerely,
Arden


  Dear Arden,

     If your not comfortable going, then don’t go. You’re in 7th grade, you have plenty of time to go to parties, but not now.  You don’t know what the kids are going to do there. You don’t know if there's going to be alcohol or drugs at the party, so it would be best to just steer clear of the party. Think of it this way, what if it was your daughter asking you this question. What would you say to her, or what would you say to your best friend if she was asking you the same question? It’s definitely up to you whether you go or not, but just make sure it’s what you want to do, not what your friends want you to do.



Sincerely,
Payton
