No one encourages me in school?

Now thankfully I do have my aunt, grandmother, uncle, and best friend who constantly pressure me to do well in school. Without them I'd probably be in a worse place than I am. So my main problem is that it's not really "hip" or "cool" to do well in school. Everyone knows me as a party goer who likes to have wild and crazy fun but I'm probably the only person who does it without getting under the influence 24/7. All my friends smoke or drink and at times it's hard to resist the temptation. I'm worried that if there isn't a place where I can go to (such as a chat form online or something) that I might stop caring (as I have started to slack in my school work and have been getting lazy and exhausted from every day life). So in summary I would like to know: what are your opinions about doing well in school? To clarify I am looking for an answer that also views both sides (both sides being having a blast and saying "forget school" and skipping out on parties to say "forget being irresponsible"). The second thing I would like to know is: is there a message forum with people like me to encourage each other and help each other get through school and motivate each other?
