im 16 too. but i dont want to smoke and i dont like it. people ussualy smoke to get their stres level down, and later they get too esed to it. ive learned to control myself in pretty much any situation, im never nervous or worried or stressed out. you need to learn self control and strengthen up your will.
Everyone is nearly all the same then. Most people don't do any because of the effects, quite a few people drink, and some do all 3.
I think that part of Parkour is keeping the body healthy and fit. People have a good point that in low quantities, the body can handle alcohol, as the liver does its' job.
It's good to hear what everyone does. I've always wondered if i was the only teen not to do anything.

Terr, wait 'till you get chick issues ;-) But on an other note, do you know that mariuhana is way less damaging to your body than alcohol or tabaco? So if you want to go // you could better smoke than drink =P But, like with everything, don't overdo it! Pod addiction is same or worse as alcohol addiction!
I don't smoke and drink once or twice a month. When I do drink I usually end up fairly wasted but that's how things go around here. Worse than alcohol is my addiction to sweets Ah, dark chocolate...
It happens that I smoke when I go through a lot of stress at work or life, It hardly goes more than three or four times a year, at the rate of two fags at a time; I do it as it knocks me a bit down, enough to give a sensation of lowering the stress. Alcohol, don't ask a French like me to stop having a glass of wine or beer during my meals, with moderation of course, not daily of course (I can't afford it, in UK) but that's the french paradoxe... That's enough for me so far, then I never felt the need to try anything else, really much a personal choice rather a social complicity.
