I'm a straight edge. No smoking, drinking, or drugs.
Any tips to find others like me? Feels like 80% of people my age spend all day drinking or smoking pot.

do what you like to do. when that bores you reverse engineer it.
like reading comics? draw one. playing games? make one. watching omvies? film one.

Y tho? I dont really smoke weed (tried it at parties, I found I really dont like it) but drink with friends or a little at dinner with my parents for instance. Straight edge people always come off as "oooh we so not into that stuff everyone does, we're co0ool". Dont abuse substabces but theres nithinh wrong with enjoying a good wine or a few beers. You're missing out pal.

Do things you enjoy and meet people through your hobbies. Hang out with them. Avoid people who routinely get shitfaced drunk, or smoke weed all day, and that's it.
I am straight edge but I don't mind being around people drinking or smoke weed a bit, as long as they do it moderately. Don't let your choices limit you as a human being.

Perhaps he's under the legal drinking age.
So am I. Pretty much all of my friends have been as well. I think hanging out with a crowd of almost entirely Asians who were into geeky stuff and serious about studying helped.

Okay, maybe thats what hes afraid of. He shouldnt be on this site if he is underge though.
And, I never got into trouble though but I never drank a lot till I was 18 either. My parents have given me wine and beer throughout my childhood, starting with small amounts and going up to normal when I was around 15. Its really not that hard to be moderate and responsible in your use of alcohol and the likes, dont limit yourself because of needles fear is what im trying to say.

Good lord no wonder you get defensive by someone simply saying they don't drink
It's kinda rough. I'm not that straight edge, I'll go drink, but just plain finding someone who doesn't smoke weed regularly around my age is proving to be impossible.
Thing is, if they were doing edibles (and the illegal aspect were gone, since I can't have a record of ANYTHING and be a teacher.), I'd have no problem hanging around with people. I just physically cannot handle smoke. I have the worst lungs, even campfires can set me off into coughing fits until I taste blood.
Basically though, I would suggest lightening up a tad if you want an easier time. If you can physically stand to be around them while they do their schenanigans but you just abstain yourself, you might have an easier time. I understand though, because I've been DD before. It's no fun hanging around a bunch of drunks/stoners while sober. You really do feel out of place.
Otherwise, you just gotta keep looking. Age might help, as you get older you have less time and more at stake to be partying all the time. the 20's is kind of about living it up. People will start to mellow out post college age, late 20's to 30's.

kill yourself, you uptight twat

I am not a self-righteous cunt. I don't impose my lifestyle on anybody.
It's not fun to hang out with shitfaced people if you aren't shitfaced, but I had a great time with tipsy/high people. As long as they can hold a conversation and aren't crazy, I don't care.

seek out different demographics. If you're in an urban place, go to rural places, if you interact with low-education classes, seek high-education classes etc. and find out what people your age are doing in these groups.
take some.acid
