Confusion of Youth

[ZeldaG.]

PS (SORRY ABOUT SLOW RESPONSES, USING PS3 CONTROLLER)

lmao i do that but plan to get a keyboard for my ps3 very soon i suggest you do the same

lol about your parents, (why the fuck would you smoke indoors if your parents are agaisnt it you too fucking lazy to walk out to the garden/staircase/street) dont smoke in your house but smoke everywhere else, now i aint sure what the AA crap is but i believe its a bit like Youth Offenders thing we have in england where they basically try to brainwash you and see 'the wrong' which you done, well if it is then do what i did, soon as they start brainwashing you with their bullshit you throw down some proper good facts about cannabis, once they retliate give em links and such to cannabis studies (positive ones (not that i think there is negative ones) and ask them to provide a reference for their bullshit.

after arguening about it a few times they then never talked to me about drugs again (but went on to the dangers of knives and riding mopeds dangerously lmao but i think your AA thing is a drug only place so anyway maybe they will just let you go... )

if you need studies there are some in the activism section of the forum i would link you but i cant be bothered (if oyu cant find any reply and then i will link you )

ZeldaG. Reviewed by ZeldaG. on 04-25-2007. Confusion of Youth I got a little shit going on, so I wanted you of any wisdom to help me (serious responses only please). Basically my parents became suspicious when someone at school (I turn 16 July) told my parents they thought I might be a user. So several weeks later my mom wakes me up 12 hours since I smoked, and apparently my room smelled like pot, dumb choice, I thought air vent, open window, and candles would fix that. I am now in this 8 week peer program, which includes ua. Part of the program Rating: 5

Stop smoking - or go outside to smoke. But your parents over reacted big time. If that happened to me i'd move out and never talk to them again. It's your life - but their house.

Valid point...i agree about the overreaction especially. I mean, i could understand them shouting with you, punishing you (taking away priveliges etc) But sending your own child to a drug rehabilitation course because he smoked a joint? To me that beggars beleif. I would hold it second only to selling your kid out to the police...

well, i agree that your parents took this WAY WAY overboard. it makes me sad to think that there are still people out there, educated adults even, that treat weed like its cocaine. you will never suck a cock to get your next weed fix (bob saget ). I personally believe that putting a weed user in any substance abuse program is an insult to those that actually need it. I would say that you sit your parents down and talk to them about it. I reccomend having some sources on its A) non addictive nature, B) the myth that it is a gateway drug (it isnt), and C) any negative effects that your parents try to use against it. it comes down to this, they are your parents, you belong to them right now. Try to get them to see your side, but if they are still against it, I wouldnt smoke in the house, but maybe find other places to do it instead.

good luck, and be smart

Well your parents sound even more brainwashed than my own. Damn rehab for marijuana? This isn't meth...and don't even get me started with AA its a religious cult and it doesn't help people stop drinking. The success rate of AA programs is 5%. Whats the success rate of people stopping on their own? 5%. Anyways don't be that anxious about it though cause all its going to do is waste your time.

[halo]

AA is Alcoholics Anonymous. It is where Alcoholics go to stop drinking but apparently it doesnt work very well. Its all bs too.

Anyways dude, that sucks about your parents. I've been caught with weed numerous times and the same shit always happens. My parents yell, tell me that they are disappointed, and then i promise never to smoke again. Of course though i break that promise. I wish i didnt have to lie to them.

Hang on, i've just bothered re-reading your post, - you smoked weed and now shes wants you to go to an alcoholic fuckabout thing?

Jesus fucking h christ.

[kingkong.bomb]

SERIOUSLY fucked up. My whole family is against weed, so whenever they say something against it, I don't respond, because I would get in huge ass arguments everyday (3 sisters, 1 bro, mom and dad), especially since my bro. (19) is a real asshole

[Eazy]

move out

[stinkyattic]

wait until after I moved out like I said/felt at the time....... I would do it put of respect.

Good call on that one.
I imagine that you are going to ask for your parents' help with college in some fashion.
They have no obligation to give it to you but if you guys have an agreement, like you respect them and they will help you, then great!
Okay so I'm not going to argue with anyone who said they overreacted... but my hunch is that it was out of genuine concern for your well-being and once you go off on your own and do your thing like an adult, you will be able to tell them, hey, you know I wasn't such a bad kid after all, but whatever, you get an A for effort, right? And bonus, you all get along and there's no weirdness at Thanksgiving. lol.
And you don't really want to have to go out totally on your own without some form of support from the 'rents... especially not in THIS economy... yikes.
