The bright side is you are getting out when you're still young. Think of all the people that have wasted their entire lives in this cult. You are way better off than them. Not only that but your friends are just wrong. They may not see it and may never see it but they are and YOU know it. Just because other people think something that you know is wrong, does that mean you want to be wrong too?
If nothing else, one thing that I gained in abundance when I left was self confidence. I was born and raised a JW. I was around it my entire life and was quite the good little JW too until I began to see through all the lies. I stood my ground and left just because I listened to myself and trusted me more than others and you know what? I was right! If I could do that, there's nothing I can't do if I work at it. it's like you are passing through a fire right now. Letit burn all the unnecessary waste around you off and get rid of the stuff that is wrong and wasting your time and emotions. Also, use that fire to shape yourself into something sharp and strong. You do that and nothing will stand in your way.
