I really need some advice and prayers.   I gave my life to God seven months ago while I was in a juvenille psychiatric and behavior modification program, after my second suicide attempt. I had been drinking a lot, partying a lot, shoplifting and sneaking out to concerts, even running away. Life was pointless and I was constantly depressed. Anyway, the program I was in had church volunteers who read us the Bible and talked to us about issues. I realized that I wanted to change so I did.
Since I've gotten out it's been really hard. My old friends were/are into the occult and Wicca, and they hate Christianity and call it a lie. They also teased me for not partying and for trying to be more behaved. They have toilet papered the house and tried to put pills in my locker last spring. Now I'm going to a private school but they still encourage me.
On Friday I got a call from one of them who said she was cool with my choice and would I like to see a movie. I have always lovd to celebrate Halloween and didn't want to be stuck at home so I said yes. We ended up going to parties until 8a.m. and I didn't get home until noon Saturday. Anyway, she called again on Saturday night and we ended up just hanging out like normal, but she wants us to go to another party next weekend. I don't know what to do. On one hand I really miss my old friends and have fun with them, but I feel awful breaking the law and doing dangerous things like drinking. What should I do? My parents are encouraging me not to have those friends but they don't stop me from going out and doing what I want. It's tough.
