Aint that the truth..
People generally associate drug taking with people living in council estates (and it does go on in council estates) but, sitting at home now, I'd be willing to bet that there are at least a few people doing coke in multi million pound houses within 3 miles of where I am sitting..

but in your scenario, real friends would respect the initial answer of 'no' and not keep on and on. second to that, the grade A student might well be good in academia, but that has nothing to do with common sense.

Also true. Common sense has nothing to do with with academic ability. It could also be argued that Drug taking has nothing to do with common sense. I know a few people who have plenty of both, but got addicted to drugs. The problem for a few of my friends was coke. For some reason, while all the friends concerned are intelligent (all have degrees, one has an MSc as well as his BSc). All have common sense. However, the problem is that Cocaine appears to be considered to be "safe". I am not arguing that it is (quite the contrary, I consider it extremely dangerous). This has happened entirely as a result of peer pressure. Probably as a result of the MSc guy working for "The Mill" (the special effects/post production house responsible for the speciall effects of many BBC productions, including Doctor Who), so he probaby had friends at work who did Coke and other things.

she would still be stupid for doing the drugs, regardless of what her 'friends' say to her...

I wouldn't say "stupid" as such, but extremely gullible.
