Revision history [back]

I'm glad you left the friends that were negative influences. I'm sure you will be able to find new friends that are on the same path as you over time. Camps and Gurdwaras can be a nice place for that. In terms of your cousins living with you, draw your boundaries and say you aren't willing to do those anymore. It's willpower against the peer pressure. They can't force you. I also think moving out and finding another place to stay that's more consistent with the life you want to lead is a good idea.
