Am I weird for not wanting to drink until I turn 21?
Where I (20) live, it’s illegal to drink or smoke if you’re under 21, and I’m choosing to follow this law. But almost all of my friends and family members have drank or smoked while underage and I feel kind of like a black sheep. Everyone seems to respect my wishes, although when my dad offers me a sip of alcohol and I say no, he’s like “c’mon! you only have a couple more months until you’re 21”.
Am I “different” for not wanting to participate in underage drinking or smoking?
Just reading this, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven so the response doesn’t surprise me
Stepping back, the way this is presented changes how it lands which turns this into more of a debate That’s what makes this interesting.

this solves one problem while creating another This could age very differently in a week.
this comes across more reactive than planned That’s just how it reads to me.
Trying to be fair, the timing matters more than people admit which is why this is getting picked apart This could age very differently in a week. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
this feels more about execution than intent This probably isn’t the last word on it.
At first glance, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that’s what people are responding to That’s what makes this interesting.

the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage That’s the key detail here. Hard to say where this lands long term. Others will probably see it differently.
Without overthinking it, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage and that’s where it gets complicated Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
At this point, this solves one problem while creating another Interested to see the follow-up.

Reaction: That worked out well
