Ok, so if you really want to start drinking then do it. Just make sure your first time getting drunk isn't a bad experice which ends up in you passing out and going to hospital. Start off drinking something weak and see if you like the feeling, and if you do then you can gradually work your way up to something stronger. Don't rely on drinking to make you feel confident though, that's what I did at age 14/15, now I'm 16 and I can go out without drinking and have a good time, but I know the feeling.Just make sure you don't drink too much on your first time though, you will regret it (and end up feeling very embarassed)!And make sure you have friends with you who won't let you do anything stupid :)

Its not good to drink when you are young, after you will be 18 I do recommend to drink a small glass of wine everyday, like the french do - it helps your body to digest fats.Alcohol is not the answer for being popular, getting drunk doesn't cover the bad things that it brings!

OK, for starters, you don't need to drink to be fun, puking all over yourself, is not fun....also, if you want to be more outgoing, just start making new friends, and doing new things. If you don't even like the taste of alcohol, why bother?If you feel like you need to "fit in" at a party, just have a glass of Pepsi, no one needs to know there is no rum in it :)

You sound like you want to be more confident and drink may help you!Think about why you want to be more confident, what stops you from being you?I'm sure your friends like you with or without drinking. At your age it could be dangerous to drink alcohol though I know many young people do drink. You are still developing so the alcohol could damage your kidneys and liver. A lot of people hide behind alcohol as it gives them confidence, try to work out why you need to be confident? Ask your friends or family how they see you?You sound very sensible and a nice young person, believe in yourself!

Drinking is normal even if you aren't of age. Its not good to do because it can cause you to do things you will regret and you will get a reputation. Being drunk isn't fun. If your friends drink its not good for them either. Drinking may help build your confidence but there are other ways like talking to new people that help just as much. You can go to parties and hang out with friends but drinking isn't the answer to being "cool".

If you don't like to drink, then why do it? If you just want to drink to make people like you, what else are you willing to do? Drugs? Sex?If your friends don't like you sober, then they aren't really your friends. Ask them if you can do something else, something that doesn't pollute your body and your mind (at least not as much :), like shopping, watching movies, etc.

Don't start drinking. It ruins your liver and besides you are under age. If you get drunk and kill someone (when you learn to drive & are of age), you could spend your live in jail for murdering someone. People do really stupid stuff when they get drunk. Instead of starting to drink (also you're under age, I believe), just work on ways to overcome your shyness. Here's a few websites that look like they have some great tips on overcoming your shyness:http://www.pickthebrain.com/blog/overcom…http://www.shakeyourshyness.com/
