God Bless you! I know your generation faces soooo many temptations. It's wonderful that you've devoted your life to Christ. Just know that there will be more temptations unfortunately, I ask of you to please hold onto him. Your story sounds similar to mine growing up. I'm only 15 years older than you, and I dabbled in drugs and drinking. I mainly drank, but it can absolutely ruin your life, all of that. I hope you will not be influenced by others anymore. Your friends play a huge role in who you become, I pray that you can stay strong in who you are and your faith. I know even though I was saved at a young age, I dealt with insecurities that lead me far from Christ, and I often listened to everyone but myself and God (including Christian friends...who still don't know what is truly best for you).

A little piece of advice, sorry for sounding "nerdy", but trust me, I've been there. Just remember that only God knows what is best for you, and only you can truly make decisions for your life so stay true to who you are and don't listen to what career paths and school choices everyone else is taking. I wish someone had told me that years ago. Always listen to your heart and consult God for everything. May God bless your steps in the coming years.
