Me?

Cigarettes.....cousin and his best friend..I was 12...NEVER SMOKED ONE AGAIN...CAN'T STAND CIGARETTES!

Weed.....16 years old....got so high with my best friend I thought I was seeing snakes and they were the electrical wires on the telephone poles!!

Drinking....Ummm...I inherited that trait from my family members....ALL OF THEM...but my first drunken binge was at 9 years of age....really. I got in the car with some cousins and an Uncle....just for a ride up the street and it turned into an all day binge on King Solomon wine!! Came home and Mom immediately knew I was drunk and made me eat...I then threw up in the living room and told on EVERYBODY!! I didn't get in trouble...but Mom breathed FIRE on my Uncle's ass!!

Cursing....when I was 9 years old...we moved to the projects for two years...by the time we moved out...I was cursing like a sailor!

Mischevious behavior...well that shit comes from so many sources....I just followed in my brother's footsteps and many others. I did break into a Mom and Pops candy store when I was 14....all we took was candy....LOL!

I was a good/bad kid!

-Mischevious Behavior?

myself. i was a terrible terrible child

I tried smoking first when I was about 7 or 8. My brother was 5 years older than me and his friends would steal packs from their parents and go out in the woods and snoke them. I tried a time or two.
Then I HATED smoking through most of my teens.
Around about 15 my goody-two-shoes friends and I got curious and tried to find pot for something to do and we couldn't find any.

Then I met my bad boy boyfriend the summer before my senior year and it all went downhill from there. Cigarettes, pot and worse followed.

I was never much for cursing.
I first started drinking at around age 18 and it was a couple time of year thing till I was 21.

Smoking weed - Bob Marley I love that man. Even though rastas smoke weed for different reasons than I do , i still wanted to do it after seeing him do it.

Cursing - My older cousin. I remember when I was about 8 and she cursed at me jokingly..I figured it would be ok and cursed back at her. She laughed and taught me other words


Drinking - Friends in high school.


Mischevious behavior - According to stories my mother told me, i was mischevious from birth. It had to come from my father's gene pool.

Smoking Cigarettes/Weed?

I've never smoked cigarettes, but I smoked weed for a while in my teen years. It was mostly my friends influence. I quit a long time ago though

Cursing?

My dad has quite a mouth on him. He curses like a sailor, which is crazy because he hides it really well from my mother. She does not tolerate that language in her house . Whenever she wasn't around, he would curse up a storm. She never believed my sisters and I when we would tell her that he did that I picked up that bad habit when I was about 7 years old. I remember that I got in really big trouble when I was about 8 years old 'cause I got mad for some reason and I wrote "Fuck you!" on the garage door

Drinking?

I didn't have an alcoholic beverage until I was 21

Mischievous Behavior?

I had no influence in this. I was just mischievous by nature. I was a bad kid and I was the one that influenced the other kids to do bad things

Don't smoke. Weed smells like burnt feces, to me. And, sadly, the smell of looseys are better, to me; but happen to be the only deadly of the two.

Occasionally drunk some beer from my mother and stepfather but was never fully into it and still ain't. Mike's Hard Lemonade, Mike's Hard Strawberry-Lemonade, and Boons Farm are some of my favorite alcoholic beverages. Boons Farm, especially because of its taste. I remember my first sip of that at like eight years old. It's funny that the second time my mother in my presence had some, last week and I told her that I remembered the last time she had some when I was eight back in Virginia and she didn't even remember

Cursing in the second grade around students. I still find it weird to curse in front of my mother and I don't do it.

Mischievous Behavior isn't what I would call it. But, I tend to be a bit nutty, I think. I don't know, really.

cigarettes- I took one puff of a Newport and was on the sidewalk choking for ten straight minutes, my friends mom came walking by, stepped over me and said "Serves you right, that cigarettes' wooping your ass, so I don't have to." I was 13. Never touched another cigarette again.

weed- well... I didn't smoke it when I was a teenager

drinking- I drank beer before I was allowed to drink soda. I really thought that those 1/2 cans were for kids when I was little, can't stand beer now.

mischevious behavior? OMG, I should write a book.

Smoking Cigarettes/Weed?.....tried both once, and that was it for me...its just not my thing..i have nothing against people that do either and im around both...but id rather drink

Cursing?...friends probably, though i dont do that much

Drinking?...middle/high school friends...but i was the one that threw all the parties so maybe i was more the bad influence lol

Mischevious Behavior?...hehe not sure i had an influence, i think i did this on my own lol

I was a goody two shoes..

annoyed my brother to no end.


Had my first drink in college with my friend Elgy. It was on from then.

I never smoked anything...to this very day.

Smoking Cigarettes/Weed? - I don't smoke, and never did.

Cursing? - I don't curse.

Drinking? - I rarely drink alcohol.

Mischevious Behavior? - I'm not sure how much I do that, either.

Who were your early bad influences? My older brothers. There are 3 of us with 3 years apart between each.

Smoking Cigarettes/Weed? I smoked my first cigarette when I was 6. I smoked periodically between that age and 19, becoming half a pack a day smoker from the age of 16 and 19. I smoked weed for the first time when I was 14. A friend of mine offered me some at the park. I felt strange but I don't think I got all that high. My next time smoking was a different story though. I haven't smoked weed in 7 years.

Cursing? I started cursing on a regular basis at the age of 8. My dad was sort of out of the picture and my mom worked all the time so there was no one to stop me.

Drinking? I don't remember my first time drinking. I used to drink after school when I was 10 with a friend. We used to put vodka in our International Coffee while we watched the Facts of Life. Good times!

Mischevious Behavior? I walked around by myself at night. I'd buy cigarettes from the machines at the local college across the street. I stole things out of people's lockers at the high school up the street. These were all before the age of 10. I was still a good student and had respect for others. It's kind of funny because all my friends that had to follow their parents rules all turned out a little wild in their teens and early 20's. And all of them site me as their bad influence.

Despite lots of people having done stuff around me, I only smoked one cigarette as a kid and one joint as an adult just to see what they'd be like (they were both forgettable); I've never even seen any harder drugs; I've only ever drank alcohol around dinner and never been intoxicated; and I've always generally been a fuddy duddy where being otherwise mischievous is concerned.

Where illicit sex is concerned, there was some early sexual activity going on among my friends, but I completely managed free of that (maybe because I was not into girls, and sex with guys never even struck me as an option until I was an adult).

An older friend did influence me to curse when I was about 7: He said it'd make me feel "older." Well, it made me feel terrible at first, but then I started enjoying it.. and the rest is history.

Pornography for as long as i can remember, although I think i influenced more than I was influenced

Alcohol an old irish habit

Smoking went hand in hand with the above

Weed was used to discuss nonsense during college and later to enjoy such activities as watching paint dry

Internet dont think much has to be said about this, that has not been already said before

Cig Influence? Peers and rebellion! --
At age 9, my cousin (15 y/o) and I stole a cig from his parents. That's how I got all my cigs in the beginning.

Weed story! --
I'm the typical example that them reports that say, "cigs lead up to abuse of heavier drug usage" because at 18 when I moved out of my home and found the "right" influence, it all went downhill from there.

Cursing? --
My cursing had to be colorful, not just the typical "effen blank", but laced with a string of adjectives, sort of like my username: "wild, golden, *ta*da*, HONEY".

Drinking? --
Only while I was high. I used to gag on anything alcoholic while I was young, only because it reminded me of cough syrup! As a matter of fact, I've got tons of free wine from my job here and don't even feel tempted to drink it, but I give it away (although I know that a certain amount of red wine everyday is good for your cardiovascular system - too bad, I don't do it if I know it's good for me ).

Mischevious Behavior? --
Say whhaat? "Troublemaker?" "Brat?" "Mocosa?" "Trabiesa?" (can't spell those spanish words) Geez - if I was mischievous, why all the need for the name-calling I say?



Also for the record: I gave up smoking, swearing, drugs to become a Christian!

It was rebellion against God/life that started me on the path to self-destruction at my young age. Later, it was the acknowledging of my own mistaken assumptions and calling on God to save me from myself that got me out of it. (I will spare you all the details)

Basically, I was my own bad influence!

Who were your early bad influences? friends really...


Smoking Cigarettes/Weed? tried cigarettes by age 10 or so, can't remember. Back then you could run to the store for your mom/dad & buy a pack for them. They used to SEND US to the store for them I pretended I was getting a pack for my dad (mom didn't smoke) & we tried them, they sucked - I was never a smoker.

As for weed my friends & I were so dumb we rolled up some actual weeds from the backyard in notebook paper & smoked it Horrible, we got caught & in trouble for that dumb shit (we were around the same age, 10 I'm guessing). Didn't get real weed until later my teens when my friends could get hold of their own - none of them were brave enough to steal their parents' weed & my parents were the only ones out of all my friends who didn't smoke it I've smoked weed less than 10 times in my life, it just doesn't do it for me. Once somebody put something in theirs & that shit had me trippin' for HOURS, bastids


Cursing? like a sailor, since grade school


Drinking? dad was a bit of a drinker so it was always around. We would sneak sips of this one bottle of wine he had & kept refilling it with water so the level would stay the same I think all this shit was around the same age, don't know how old but I was pretty young - I think we dabbled w/ the drinking shit before we got to the smoking... the drinking is the only thing that stuck


Mischevious Behavior? Not much at all. Besides turning off people's power on a regular basis & playing doorbell ditch I stole some candy from Safeway once, & a belt from some shitty store another time - that's really all. I was a very good kid.

Smoking Cigarettes/Weed: Never done either, and never PLAN on it.

Cursing: Having parents who cuss worse and more frequently than Popeye's bastard children, and living in a town like Bartow, Florida will make anybody a guttermouth. Fortunately, unless I'm extremely angry, or high on excitement, I'm not outright ridiculous with my swearing. I know kids who casually drop the "f"-bomb seemingly every other word and it's just trashy and annoying.

Drinking: Never drunk a sip of alcohol, I don't believe. I don't want to, either.

Mischievous Behavior: I've had my moments.

BONUS:
Underaged Sex Or Pregnancies: Nope! A proud virgin.


Pardon me if this makes me sound prudish or pretentious, but while I don't condemn any of you for the 'bad' behavior you committed during your youth, as a 17-year-old whose only blemishes on my squeaky-clean character are foul language and a perverted sense of humor, I just can't understand (for the life of me) why so many people my age seem to fall into the exact same trap of, "Hey! Let's smoke, do drugs, get smashed, screw, and/or get knocked-up while we're all still minors! YAY!" I mean, it's other people's life and choices, and it's not like I'd stop being friends with someone if they did any of these things... but is it really so hard to just say no? Or am I too anti-social?

nobody ever managed to be a bad influence on me, I was too stubborn and

I don't smoke or drink and NEVER plan to do any kind of drug but I guess my bad habits are...

being sneaky/evasive/telling white lies (got that from my dad )

cursing (I don't really curse at all, except with my close friends )

watching porn (well, um, next... )

i had sex at 17, i don't think it ruined my life or anything.

i didn't really drink until i was 21 and i wish i had earlier. drugs, meh, i don't really care either way. i learned cursing off of words written on my elementary school's playground equipment

squiddyren said:

I give you credit, and you're only 17. So far, everyone seems mild compared to me. I'm actually embarrassed now!

Smoking Cigarettes/Weed? I first smoked my first cigarette when I was 12...didn't so much for me really...my best friend stole a pack of his dads Kools...they didn't live up to their name...

I didn't try weed 'til I was 21...I was always dead set against it....all my friends either had tried it or smoked it often...once I finally tried it, I made up for lost time...

Cursing? I cussin'...it's a part of me...I honestly don't remember not doing it...

Drinking? my folks owned a couple of liquor stores, you do the math...

Mischevious Behavior? I was a good kid, a decent teenager and never really did anything too wrong...
even as a young adult when I decided I needed to try every drug made, I did it privately 'cause I was scared of getting caught or arrested...

*cough* Yeah, ummm.....good 4 y'all
