Well, the other day she called me and was very upset, asking me to come over and talk with her.

The night prior, her son admitted to her that he smokes. She handled it OK, and asked if he had anything illegal in his bedroom, and if so, he needed to get rid of it and she advised him to stop smoking until he was out of school.

I think she handled it quite well. She knows he still going to smoke, but she isn't going to condone it, nor will she police it.

Then, the kid brought down his stash and a small glass bowl. She made him put it on her desk and they all went to bed. By the next morning, it was gone, she asked her son where it was, and he casually told her: "Oh, I took it to sell it to my friend."

WHAAAAAAT!!!!???!
Does anyone else think that this is crossing the line? I mean: the boy could get arrested for this behavior. It could easily effect the rest of his life in a very negative way. Aside from all the social labeling, he could possibly have a permanent legal record and get college apps rejected on that basis. How do you tell your experimenting kids that it's better to smoke than to get alcohol or cigs or pills, but you better not BUY it.

I really feel horrible for my friend and I have no idea of what to tell her. Any advice from you, Dear Reader, is greatly appreciated.

sounds a bit like me, I turned out SHIT! na only kidding,

More like that lil kid took his shit back smok it and then played innocent hahaha

like I said, a bit like me "give me that shit back - so i can smok it!" In my experience this is what kids are like at that age, some adults are like that loll! What can we say? Goodluck with it and try not to worry too much we were all that age, and probly doing the same shit, right, right??


Peace,

PS: sorry just re-read what you said after your first post, it sounds more complicated and what i just said might seem insensitive.. I'd agree sorry !! but but but, when dealing with 15 year olds, it's hard to take it/them seriously!!!
