1. Define a scenario you anticipate happening to you or use one of those described below: a. I\'m always getting invited to parties now where kids are doing drugs. So far, I just say no, but I\'m starting to feel like a real loser. I think that some of these kids, who are really cool, are going to start cutting me out. I know what my mom and dad say, but I really don\'t see the problem with trying a little weed. At least I\'d get some of these kids off my back. The next time someone offers, I\'m going to be very tempted to take a hit.

b. Once a month, I get my mom\'s car and go out with a few of the guys. Last time after we had been driving awhile, Brady wanted to stop at this liquor store where he says he knows they\'ll sell him beer. I made an excuse that I didn\'t have enough gas and if I stopped for gas the liquor store would be closed by then. Now I\'m wondering how to put him off the next time. I hate ticking Brady off; he always gets the other guys on his side.
