The Friends Michael knows that some of his friends have tried marijuana. He's afraid they'll
start changing, and he'll lose his friends. Michael doesn't want to smoke
marijuana. Which skills can he use to stick to his decision not to use marijuana
and have friends who share his values? What can Michael say to himself to stick to
his decision not to use marijuana.

stay away from his friends!

Explanation:

If michael’s friends aren’t willing to change that part of their life for him, Michael needs to move on and be in an environment with a better atmosphere of people. If he isn’t around people smoking marijuana, he won’t be tempted. Meanwhile, if he was with his old friends all the time, they would most likely pressure him to get into it.

just say no

Explanation:

Michael can be strong and not smoke but he should not expect his friends to change because they had a puff. Michael doesn't like it so his friends should be respectful and not put it in his face, but if they do he may need a new group of friends that share his values on this subject.

people are just afraid of difference. honestly no where in the bible does it say you can't be gay or bi or anything it says he loves all his children the same and he wants the best for us but we need to be truthful and all that yadda yadda anyways, god doesn't hate gays, he does hate hate, hypocrites, liars, and all that and even then he forgives those who ask for it. so your mum's reasoning is totally wrong xd sorry love, i had to rant a bit but i hate it when people do that. if anything i accept you! stay amazing! ^-^
