Should I stick with it?

First of all, I am very glad you are following Christ!

You DEFINITELY want to pray for God's guidance on this. I will try to give you some advice, but I am not as good at this as God is!

First of all, is there a way you can hurry out of danger? For example, leave as soon as practice is over because you have to hurry home, etc. I have a lot of friends who I will talk with, but I never spend a lot of time around them because they bring me down.

Another thought is to just stand up to them. As soon as someone suggests everybody go (fill in the blank bad thing), tell them that you don't think it's right and you won't join them. If they argue, you can tell them it's against your faith, but with stuff like drugs you can also explain that it's a bad idea. It is really hard to stand up to friends, and someone will probably make fun of you. But there's also a chance that some of them will respect you for being able to stand up for your beliefs. It also reminds them that what they're doing is wrong; but you aren't judging them, you're just saying you won't.

You may find that you need to switch sports, which is OK. You don't want them to damage your faith. However, you may also find that things aren't any better in anther sport, because most high school kids aren't Christian. I think standing up to them is probably the best option, but I understand how hard that is!

I hope this post is clear, I'm in a little bit of a hurry. Tell me if I need to explain something better. I will be praying for you.

God bless you,
Grace
