When I was your age it wasn't an issue for me. I smoked just about everyday and I hid it from them. My parents never knew I smoked or did anything until I was like 19 and I told my dad about it. If you know your mom is going to freak out then why would you talk to her about it or why get yourself into a position where she is going to find out? I'm all about being honest... but not being stupid... if a cop pulls you over for speeding are you going to tell him you have a dime bag in your pocket?

Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to be an asshole and I'm not calling you stupid... I'm just trying to understand.
