I’m a teenager in college. I am religious but I see all my friends getting drunk, parting and having sex every weekend. They seem like they are having fun! Am I missing out?

I don't think that its a question of religion at all. Its about what you want to do with your life. I am an atheist and i don't drink or smoke or anything like that. I never have. I'm 30 now. I never set foot in a club and i don't particularly enjoy going to pubs either (although sometimes i go to socialise with friends and to have a cup of tea). I didn't have sex until i was almost done with college and to this date I've been only with 2 girls... Its all about what you want to do, like and what you want to focus on. My life turned out really well so i am happy with my choices. But i would not be against having more fun when i was younger because now it definitelly is more difficult to make time for fun, meet friends, etc. And its not like you have only 2 choices (get absolutely wasted, fuck everything that moves and use cocain, or not). You can do anything in between. How about having a glass of beer with friends, talk to some girls with genuine interest and without any expectations and do what feels right to you and see what happens?
