(Apparently they were doing the same) If I had know that they were smoking pot I would have been pretty darn anxious because its a situation that can go many ways from a smoking a J to messing with hard drugs and bad kids - you dont know which it is and you get scared. Being a parent is a job from hell. The stakes are huge and no one knows what the fuck he is doing! You have to muddle through as best you can and the teenage years can be downright scary! When I was their age thas IS what I did and several of my friends didnt make it to adulthood. Teenage boys may know everything but they have a very poor track record. They are very prone to killing or injuring themselves and others through their own stupidity. No joke. Also, everyone is a hypocrite at one time or another, you included! Its an unavoidable part of being human - get over it. My kids accused me of being one - and they were right. Your kids will do the same to you and they will be right too!
Its not really an issue on how smart the person is. What I am talking about is the ability to make your own choices in life . I dont think that if i want to snort some meth and jump off a bridge the government or anyone should be able to stop me because it is my body and i think we should have the right to do what we want with our minds and bodys despite what our age is. Im not saying adults are not more intellegent because the majority are, Im saying that if you are mature enough to make your own choices then i dont think the number of years you have been alive should stop you.
And I am not saying that i approve of meth because i dont , but i belive that if someone wants to use it there shouldent be some rich guy in a big building in washington saying he cant.
peace

Anyways here's my advice. You didnt ask for it but you get it anyway because like I said, I am just so fucking smart! Try to see it a bit from your mom's pt of view. She is scared. You are growing up and she is losing her ability to protect you - at the same time the stake are getting much higher. Try to reassure her. Explain this has no connection with hard drugs or hard kids. Point out that kids your age are drinking and that really is dangerous! Tell her that she has to trust you to use your judgement - she brought you up and taught you - now you know how to behave. Reassure her that this doesnt mean you are going to become a juvenile delinquent or that your grades will suffer. Remind her that you are growing up and she is going to have to let go some. Explain that you want an honest relationship with her that you want to be able to approach her as a friend and talk about your life. If she cracks down like this it will only mean that you will hide shit from her. Be a little patient - let her rant and rave a while she gets used to the idea.
Yes but everytime i explain the bit about alcohol and my grades and whatnot she pulls up the DARE website and starts going off about how my braincells are being killed every second.
Be patient. Explain that that site exaggerates the risks for the sake of propaganda. Brain cells are dying all the time , in everyone. Many intellectuals, scientists and engineers smoke mj. I am a mathematician and I have been smoking since I was your age. From the comments I see around here there are a lot of smart people on this forum - there's also a lot of really stoned morons who, in my opinion, should be donated to medical experiments
Hang in there! I give you full marks for standing up to her and being upfront - she will respect you and appreciate it - even though she is going to yell and scream on the way.
When she calms down, suggest you smoke together so that she can be in your life.
Haha wow she just came downstairs and told me that i was nothing but a criminal and i disgust her. i really wanted to flip shit on her but instead i just said 'i love you too mom'
They have the right to tell you that you're grounded, and you have the right to ignore them and do as you please...Quote:
