Should I go out with friends as a teen or should I stay at home and study on weekends?

I honestly was a complete loner throughout high school and spent 4-5 days a week in the gym & never drank.

It was extremely beneficial to focus on my grades & SMV in high school before hitting college where it really paid off with high social proof & status.

Do most of your work first before to go out. Also don't drink to get drunk but I know that's hard at highschool parties so if you can't resist getting drunk don't go

Get off of the PC unless you are coding. Go to the gym instead this will make you aesthetic and when you go to those high school parties girls will notice you and you don't have to drink to have fun because you will have girls to have fun with.

So. Study. Gym. Socialize.

Also, one more thing try to be street smart. Learn to read people. That will help.

Don't under age drink, it will only get worse.

Im 16. I recently started going out with friends instead of being on pc at night. But i drunk a lot and got somewhat drunk 3 out of the 5 times i went out.

dont drink so much that u lose control. this is for a variety of reasons but you want to be in control.

as for studying/going with friends

Do both. You need to socialise and have a social circle to learn things socially but you also need to study. study so that you dont need to study during the weekends is one option. Find a balance.

Go out in MODERATION. Drink the first beer quickly, get onto the next, then slow the fuck down as everyone else gets drunk and stops noticing.

MY opinion, your personality is shaped through experience over time, the more formative experiences and exposure to others and environments, the better. For better or worse, early social drinking experiences can be valuable.. of course there is a downside if you drink too much. My thought is to limit your alcohol consumption to like a beer and be out on with your friends rather than stay in. Unless you seriously considering med school or some other very technical profession, I'd say those early social exposure is important.

Study first, make sure that is in order then go meet up with your friends, have an occasional drink nurse the beer and dont fall into peer preasure...GL. focus on forming bonds with your friends and enjoying yourself

Balance, focus on what's important but take time out for a social life. You'll save yourself a lot of trouble not having no experience in social Dynamics to draw on when you get older.

Go out with your friends and have a good time! The social skills you develop will serve you well.

BUT... don't drink so much that you have a hangover the next day. After having just enough to get a pleasant buzz, switch to soda (or anything nonalcoholic). Just having a drink in your hand will be enough to still fit in and not look like a dweeb.

This way you'll still be able to study the next day, and have the best of both worlds...

It depends on your style, study skills and innate abilities. AFAIK, universities only look at your grade 12 marks so you can slack off until your last year as long as you don't develop bad habits.

I always got good grades and blew through my homework and assignments quickly, and then had fun. My one sister was like me while the other had to study a lot and spend a lot of time to get the same grades. In my first year of university I was drinking and partying 5 nights a week as well as doing fencing, debating, karate and the army reserves and still got straight As. I think the key to that was basically being MGTOW at the time: had female friends/colleagues/classmates but didn't date or chase women. That freed up a lot of my time and energy.
