What Went Wrong?

Well, me and my friend were both pretty mad cuz the two guys we liked both were being jerks towards us. The guy I liked had left and I was mad but didn't show it. We saw a guy we knew who was 21 and asked him to buy us some alcohol, he said alright so we went with him and his friend in car to the abc store. During that time everyone was calling and texting us but we were both just mad. And then we drank straight up vodka from the bottle. He bought some water bottles and put it in there and took us back to the school after that. I don't remember much but my friend blacked out the police was called and my friend went to the hospital.

What were the Consequences?

I wasn't allowed to hang out with my friend anymore, her or my other 2 best friends at the time. We thought we'd be friends forever and had gone through everything together. I remember crying all the time cuz I missed them so much. Everything just went wrong. Some of the friends I had were really disappointed in me and didn't talk to me much anymore. My parents lost all trust in me and I'm still trying to get it back.

Lessons Learned

  • Don't do it in a public place with a lot of ppl around
  • Be at a safe place when u decide u want to try to drink
  • Make sure there is someone watching, making sure you're not drinking too much
  • Don't drink because you're mad, it won't make things better, I promise
