Decision making...would you really accept or denie the offer?
 
If someone were to ask you to smoke while you were at school would you accept their request or denie it as every parent would wish?. Here's a small story for it.


"Come on smoking's cool." said this one good. You look at the cigarette as she glanced at you. "and you get to be cool like us." said a boy. "What do you say."

so if you were in this sitution would you accept the offer or would you deny it.


i would also add some more kind of these stories later on kind of like this one after one has been answered by a few members.

Rehab Doll September 30th, 2009 6:18 PM

I wouldn't because I care about my health, I wouldn't let myself get hooked on that crap. It's not just because my parents or other influences it's my own opinion.

somewhat of a smart desicion. Would you honestly say "no" to the one who made the offer?.

Yep, I've done it before.

Eliminator Jr. September 30th, 2009 6:51 PM

Yeah - who wouldn't take the option to be cool and slowly kill yourself[/sarcasm]

No, I wouldn't. I've been offered cigarettes before by friends at parties and stuff but luckily nobody I know pressures you into doing it. Like they don't go "oh I'm not your friend if you don't smoke". They respect that I don't smoke. I don't smoke because personally I think you'd have to be an idiot to - nothing good comes out of it. You're killing your body and then get addicted and continue to do it.

XxDawnfanxX September 30th, 2009 6:52 PM

I know of kids in my school who have gotten expelled for smoking in school. I would decline it with a laughing no because I don't need that stuff in my life to have a good time. I have tried it before yes, (as in weed, never tried and never will a cigarette) but I never got hooked on it and I vowed I wouldn't because I am just not interested in it.

Corvus of the Black Night September 30th, 2009 7:12 PM

No... because I'm not a retard. Sorry.

Kishijoten September 30th, 2009 7:15 PM

Alright. So it's been made. The answer is simply "no" I wouldn't want to smoke for the first story.

here's the 2nd. they get harder and harder.




You know your friend is in love with this particular person like in forever but, your starting to like them too. When your friend asks you to see if they like your friend back. you return saying what?.
you know you like this person but your friend is like in love with him/her forever and you know he/she has a connection with your friend. Would you honestly tell your friend what their crush said or simply make up a answer?..

I'd be honest and tell him/her what I felt, but if I knew how much my friend liked this person I'd let my friend stay with him.

Really?. Even if you love him as if he were the only to love, you just give him away like that?

Well it wouldn't be easy, but if I knew my friend loved him more than me I'd let it be, I couldn't be that selfish.

Corvus of the Black Night September 30th, 2009 7:40 PM

Wait wait wait.

Why would the friend ask in the first place? Is she... worried that I'll take him? Do they think that I would be as selfish take the so called "love of their life" away just because I have a crush? Crushes come and go, like the tides, and the person you find hot today... well, turns out he's a complete idiot tomorrow.

If the friend is worked up enough about this territorial issue... enough to get extremely upset and break the friendship between me and her because I find this man attractive...

Well, that's a pretty lousy friend.

I'd be honest about the guy. Then I'd be honest about my opinion of the friend.

It's these kind of realizations that separate the douchebags that want to manipulate, use or only listen to you at certain times rather than the friend that actually cares about your well being. A friend who cares about you would not be as paranoid as to ask about a relationship with a third party, and if told the truth and they hated me for it, well, the douche can live happy with her lies.

In the end, Truth >>>>>>>>>> being nice.

Citrinin September 30th, 2009 9:36 PM

No. I'm highly resistant to peer pressure, and I care about my health (and with all the sin taxes attached to them, my wallet too).

Klippy September 30th, 2009 9:46 PM

I like smoking the cigarettes that say, "Extra strength", cause I know it'll make me even cooler! :D

what? You honestly would just give in your health for being cool? That's just a big gamble...

Zet October 1st, 2009 4:41 AM

I'd deny it, I wouldn't want to lose any of my current lives

I think that was sarcasm.

Mr. Epic October 1st, 2009 5:02 AM

An offer for lv.100 coolness and free cigarettes! F*** Yeah!

Mitchman October 1st, 2009 5:43 AM

No because I know too many people to be caught doing it. that's why I smoke at home in my own time....

Guillermo October 1st, 2009 5:44 AM

Hah, no. Smoking doesn't make people cool, it makes them die. I'd neeever accept a cigarette or any kind of drug.

twocows October 1st, 2009 8:42 AM

I've had about five or six people ask me to smoke (only two of those were in high school, though). I've turned them down every time, for a number of reasons. I don't care if other people smoke (don't do it around me, please), but I'm not going to inhale burning plants, kthx.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ October 1st, 2009 11:24 AM

Cigarettes: Heck, no, the smoke bothers my asthma.

As for the love question, the friend's known the third party longer, so I'd probably just stay out of the picture.

Rokusasu October 1st, 2009 11:29 AM

I'd say "Thanks, but no thanks." For one, I have asthma, and secondly, I think that smoking, especially to look 'cool' is stupid. :3

ArcanineOod October 1st, 2009 11:36 AM

The thing is, with the smoking, none of my friends are smokers. They all know just as well as I that smoking damages your health. No one I know is the type of person who says 'Smoke and you'll be cool like us'. I simply can't relate to that question.
In any case, I'd never start smoking. It's harmful to my health, freaking expensive and just plain silly. Not to mention the fact that I'm underage.
In fact, not only would I deny the cigarette, I would also tell them that they should stop smoking for their health's sake. If I did find myself in this situation, I'd rather be healthy than popular. =3

Oh, and it's spelt "deny". =3

When it comes to the second question, if I had a friend who was totally in love with a guy but I was getting a crush on him, I'd just leave him alone. I'd tell my friend if he liked them back and I'd stay out of their way. As a previous poster said, crushes come and go, and I'd be sure to find someone else. Getting in the way of my friend's happiness out of selfishness is a horrid thing to do.

xX

HeidiMoose October 1st, 2009 12:18 PM

Heck no! Smoking is one of the most disgusting habits on the planet. Plus, I'd like to see past the age of 50, and I love my pink, healthy lungs. I enjoy not having to cough and hack up stuff everyday.
The people that smoke and try to pressure others to join in on their habit are pathetic. Keep your habit to yourself.

Ivysaur October 1st, 2009 12:31 PM

First question: I'd say "I don't smoke, thanks". Luckily all my friends hate smoking as well, but if these people got annoying, I'd tell them that I already tried smoking and I don't feel like throwing up again. And if they started to laugh at me, I'd say "Eh, I have things to do", and go away.

Second question: Been there, done that. So yeah, I told her the truth. Except I don't really loved her as much as my friend did, it was just a lil' crush. I am always optimistic enough to think that I'll have another chance later and hey, I did.

Chaostorm October 1st, 2009 12:47 PM

Smoking for coolness ? meh , it like nothing but burning your lungs , to tell you , your voice will change to a crappy voice as you smoke alot

Get a life ....

Kishijoten October 1st, 2009 12:47 PM

Looks like most people say "no" to smoking. Well okay. Here's the 3rd one.



Your part of the school play and you have the biggest part of all. The day that the play performs is on Saturday. It's also the day of
your parent's friend wedding. They both start at the same time nad day. You want to attend both of them and support both scenes but, you know you can't just show up at a wedding wedding with your costume. Or your dress or tuxdeo at your play. Which one would you rather go to? The play or the wedding? You know you don't want to let either side down but...what would you do?.

Chaostorm October 1st, 2009 12:50 PM

I would let them substitute me in the play and go to the wedding lol ( Actually I dont go to weddings unless if I was forced to ... )

michele October 1st, 2009 1:02 PM

i'd say no. smoking is disgusting to begin with, and it won't make me any more "badass" by smoking it at school. and besides, my school has designated smoking areas which technically aren't on the property.

as for the wedding/play one: i'd go to the play. i'd get it out of the way, and hopefully make it back in time for the after party. x]

Kishijoten October 1st, 2009 1:16 PM

Well seems like making a desicion isn't as hard as it seems is it? But, try this one:

Your friend and your official bf/gf are taking a walk in a forest. Suddenly the both of them were being grabbed by the arm by two bandits that fled from left to right. Who would you save? Your friend or your bf or gf you adore?. You know you could only save one faster than the other but...what?

Spinor October 1st, 2009 3:19 PM

CIGARETTE! DIE MOTHEREFFER DIEEEEEEE!!!!!

Yes, I have a strange fetish to the murder of cigarettes so more than likely I'd kick that guy's ass and get out :(

Kishijoten October 1st, 2009 3:23 PM

Some very interesting answers from my questions...

Harmonie October 1st, 2009 8:49 PM

Smoking is totally and completely pointless. There is no way anybody would ever be able to convince me.

i'd save my friend - bros before hoes [well, vice-versa in my case, i guess].

.Fenris October 1st, 2009 9:02 PM

No, smoking is the last thing I should try with my poor health.

Oh, as for the 3rd one, my best friend, he'd be loads more helpful in getting my girl back...

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ October 2nd, 2009 12:06 AM

I'd go to the play, if only because I know I'd make an idiot out of myself at the wedding (or the after party). When some of my wild relatives and I get together...

I'd save my significant other. My bff is 6'2 and can probably fight the guy off. Of course, I wouldn't be walking through a forest anywhere... except maybe Forest Hills Mall XD

Yrie October 2nd, 2009 11:31 AM

Ehh, been there done that. I've already said "no" so I don't think I'll change my answer
Of course, if you do that, you're not cool anymore
And the world comes crashing down....maybe

Serene Grace October 2nd, 2009 11:45 AM

I would simply say "no". This has happened to me plenty of times and the answer has always been the same. Like Went, I would simply say "I don't smoke, thanks."

.little monster October 2nd, 2009 12:11 PM

Someone already did ask me. I said "Gtfa (Gtf away) or I will break your neck you tar breathing genius."

Then I walked away. Am I nice or what?

I Laugh at your Misfortune! October 2nd, 2009 12:13 PM

I might try a cigarette cause, y'know, don't knock it until you've tried it. I doubt I'd like it much though :P

viridian doubletongue October 2nd, 2009 1:34 PM

but you're all forgetting, smoking IS cool.

MarstheCar October 2nd, 2009 1:37 PM

Let me see...
Smoking+ Asthma= PAIN!!!
So my answer is: no.

markiemania October 2nd, 2009 2:39 PM

@ The smoking question, I'd decline. As a matter of fact I was asked a week ago, but I said no as I have no interest in trying them anyway as there is no benefit from it, only down-sides. Plus, it was in School Grounds, so I'd be in a whole heap of unnecessary trouble if I were to accept the offer.

Sadly, the friend I was with DID in fact say yes, and he looked at me as if I'd have something to say about the matter, but I just told him that its his life and he could do as he pleases with it. *Sigh*. =/

Idiot! October 3rd, 2009 1:10 AM

Take the cigarette? Maybe.
Light it? Perhaps.
Smoke? No way!

Kishijoten October 4th, 2009 6:28 AM

*nods* but, if you think about it would you REALLY say "no" INR if you were actually in this position?.

derozio October 6th, 2009 6:08 AM

lolz. No. I won't be doing it at any condition. Anyways, being cool isn't taken much into account where I live and smoking is something that is getting heavily critised here nowadays and everybody is getting aware of its aftereffects. XD So, NO!!

I'd scream bloody murder.
I really don't know about this one; I'd have to actually be in that situation to see...but I'd probably choose the one I knew the longest.

Captain Fabio October 6th, 2009 9:56 AM

Well, when I was back at school, people offered cigarets and weed to me, but I declined. Hated the smell.

Peer pressure doesn't effect me at all.

peer pressure doesn't affect you at all?. I'm surprised and amazed!. How can you just repeal all this pressure at all?.

Right on!
I think smoking is really okay, if you're home and there's no one around. Your lungs, your choice. Judging is for losers.

Captain Hobo. October 8th, 2009 7:46 PM

No heck no smoking is for stupid idiots.

TRIFORCE89 October 8th, 2009 8:08 PM

"Come on smoking's cool."
No it isn't

"and you get to be cool like us."
Big woop

"What do you say."
Nope

Gummy October 9th, 2009 1:16 PM

I have been asked to smoke many times before, and I've denied the request each and every time. The long term consequences of smoking far outweigh the short term benefits, so I don't see myself ever smoking.
