I didn't have any intention to go to the party, but they were yelling something at me, so I came up to see what they were saying. There were people there with alcohol so I decided to join in. From there, I saw a cooler with some Buds in it, so I took a couple. I was there a total of, about, 10 minutes, and since I was so stoned (I'll use the word HIGH) I don't remember what the house was. All I know is that I didn't know anybody there
this may have been mentioned, but IMHO you're going the wrong way here, and this sounds like a really lousy idea. you found a house and had a party and can't remember which one it is? c'mon.

i think you're getting scared, and i understand, but chill; stick with your "found the beer in the woods" or "found it" anywhere where someone wouldn't be to blame for you getting a handle on it. don't go bringing in some dude to say he left it at your house. it seems you're grasping for believable stories to tell them; and i think you'll find yourself digging yourself deeper more than anything. "found in the woods" is good enough.

don't go wrapping yourself or anyone else up into some convoluted story that could do more harm than good


btw: your mother charged you with ASSAULT????????? holy ........... that's unreal beyond belief. up to that point i was a bit mixed up, but man, that's just terrible, really terrible.

i'm so sorry. just a note to folks in this thread: just remember, he's 17, and this is his mother. she may be doing foolish, hurtful, and damaging things, but she's still his mom. OP, i'm really sorry this is happening to you, but if you can manage it, don't hate her. it won't help you. perhaps by your forgiveness of her you can show her your maturity. it may very well be the best thing for you to get out of that situation asap, and that doesn't seem like long. i tell ya man, this is hard stuff you're going through; things will get better for you, they will. i think you're handling this all pretty well. good luck, try to avoid the hate, it just drags you down.


think of it this way: you're getting a jumpstart on adulthood and maturity that folks who get babied forever never get. sooner or later we all are on our own and struggling, you'll have a leg up on most of the others peace bro
