Break up, be nice about it and tell her why. You kids are in highschool, you'll both learn, grow, and date other people. Might be uncomfortable for a while but that's how it is.

Ultimately you need to do what's best for you.

    There's been a lot of fear mongering and misinformation about drugs since Nixon popularized the puritanical "all drugs are bad" idea in the 70s.

    The reality is much more complex. There are all kinds of recreational drugs out there that can be taken safely without lasting damage or long term effects.

    Many are actually safer than alcohol, some even offer significant benefits to mental and physical health if taken responsibly (see psychedelic use to combat depression, anxiety, and PTSD). And on the flip side, there are all kids of drugs that will fuck your body and life right up by either damaging your body and/or causing chemical dependancy.

    Education is the key to determining which drugs are safe to take responsibility, and which drugs are not, and ensuring your environment is safe before dosing anything is also critical to safety.

    Because people (especially 20th century people) have been trained to ignore the evidence of their eyes and ears and trust only the word of the party.

    Maybe this is anecdotal, but all the 20th century people in my life completely disregard what anyone younger has to say, preferring to believe that we're all entitled, whiny, complaining kids instead of realizing that we're adults in our 30/40s with genuine economic grievances. But they will blindly believe absolutely anything if it comes from personally preferred news media, even if its complete nonsense.

    Shadiversity. Guy made some really interesting videos breaking down different kinds of historical melee weapons, showing how, when, and why they were used. Genuinely interesting content until he started randomly spewing right wing nonsense a few years ago.

    Where are you living that has limits like this? I think the last time I had to worry about SMS limits was like 2013ish and that's because I had a shitty tracphone. Unlimited calls and texting has been the default in the US for at least a decade.
