I guess I just need to hear other people's thoughts about this I hope y'all don't mind. So my sister came home after spending the school year in America and she was really excited to spend time with me again, so far we had a lot of fun but the whole time she always spoke of a trip she wanted to do - to take me to the big city.
I don't really travel without my parents yet since I'm only 17 so I kinda felt nervous at the thought but she seemed confident so I figured we'd be fine.
Later she told me how she planned to take me clubbing and drinking with her and I felt even more off put by this since (like I said b4) I'm a minor and I have no interest in such things and in fact try to avoid risky activities as much as I can.
It's not until she brought back a fake ID for me to use that I realised that I could actually get in trouble for this stuff and it made me feel horrible. So I told her that I was not going to do it.
At this she got really upset and now she won't speak with me, I know that technically I only set a boundary and I'm technically in the right since my argument is LITERALLY that I don't want to do illegal stuff and risk university(on the off chance I get caught) but I really really hate dissapointing people and making them upset also because she seemed really REALLY excited for this trip.
I cried for a bit cause I feel horrible but I don't plan on changing my decision. I guess I just really need to hear it from someone else??? What do y'all think?
I just kinda really needed to put this down somewhere :'(

Eli.
Your sis overreacted
Also if you did get caught with the fake id the bouncer would max just cut it up and yell at you wouldnt get into crazyyyyy trouble or sum
Aint no reason to drink if ya dont wannaa but it aint really a bid thing if you do i mean youre almost 18 hell ive known people who were drinking since 14 and theyre doing great (except one who is dead)!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I get ur point but also I wanted to add that the legal drinking age here is 20 so I still have a bit to go, I'm aware that perhaps I overreact in my heard but I also know that the stress would probably completely ruin the fun for me anyway so it's just not worth it•́︿•̀

if u don't wanna go clubbing u don't wanna go clubbing. as simple as that rlly. and besides, like u said, ur 17 so on top of it breaking the law it'd strain ur chances of getting into university. the fact that ur sister can get over that is really, REALLY immature of her. she needs to put on her big girl pants and get over herself about her lil sister not wanting to risk her education over a lil fun.
you are not at all the asshole in this situation. in fact, you're probably the more mature one for setting this boundary. I can understand not wanting to disappoint anybody (I struggle w that big time myself) but you gotta do what's best for you, and that's exactly what you did.

Your sister needs to stop being a b!tch about it and get over herself tbh
Thats a bit harsh(◞‸◟ㆀ) , I don't think she meant me anything I'll by it, I just don't think she understands how much stress that would cause me
