Mom!

[graph]

It's her roof, until you pay the rent you gotta respect her decision.

I know it sounds like a load of crap now, but I feel bad for all of the shit I put my mom through. She's just doing what she thinks is right, and in the end that's why you should be lucky you have her.

Stop smoking for a while, and buy your mom something nice. Tell her how you feel about things and believe that you can balance the two, but you better be prepared to back it up. You better be getting good grades and maybe even get a job. You'll be better for it in the end.

Don't worry so much man, just 3 more years left until no one can tell you what to do. Except the government, your boss, the police, firefighters, your mother, your father, the judges, and old mr. henderson down the road.

Running away will only make your mom more desperate to "Get your life on track."

It would be more responsible sit down with her and talk about it. Be mature, level with her. Tell her you understand that she will probably never like the idea of you smoking. She is your mother, and her feelings are very understandable. Tell her that you maintain a principle of self worth and achievement, and that your grades and academic success are very important to you. Let her know that nothing would get in the way of those priorities.

Don't be argumentative. Remember; the point of telling her this is to establish that you're a responsible and motivated person. She is displeased with you smoking because she fears that it might jeopardize your future. All you should be trying to do here is help ease her mental suffering.

Wait out the punishment. Weed is illegal, you're relatively young, and afterall, it IS your mom's house. She has every right to ground you, and theres no way you can rationalize your way out of it.

Once you've talked to her, lay low for awhile. Don't break any of her rules, and be polite. Dont talk to her about anything too serious, especially weed. Give her some time to cool down and let the information you told her sink in. After you've waited a few days tell her that you would like to talk to her again.

When you're both comfortable, calmly and politely tell her that you're not giving up weed. Tell her that you don't pull asinine or dangerous stunts, and that you're not in harm's way. Then mention that if it ever comes near to endangering your priorities or well being, you'd give it up instantly.

Don't expect her to take it easily, if anything, she will probably get angry. Remember to keep your voice down and choose your words carefully. Also, I strongly urge that you DON'T mention the fact that your dad smokes. She will make him stop before she ever allows you to do it.

You're objective here isn't to ask for her permission or get an ok. You are indirectly giving her an ultimatum. You're letting her know that you will keep smoking regardless of her punishments. The most you can do is hope that she will realize that you are mature enough to handle smoking.

If the entire thing ends up being a disaster, continue to smoke as usual, and benevolently accept any punishment. Then maybe, overtime, she will realize that its pointless and give up.

Good luck with whatever happens.

just talk to her about it dude. Is your dad affected negatively by pot? I mean she is married to a pothead so if its not doing bad things for him I don't know why you can't relate yourself to him, and show her that its only doin you good knowing that you get good grades and stuff.

man i got the same situation as you except if i touch it again i get kicked out... lol well so far im still blazing hell i was high this weekend if i get busted im homeless oh well and + i ain't talking about it

[SpiritLevel]

say "............i wonder what my dad is doin right now"..
then say ".....proplly getting wasted"..
then say ".....gee! i wanna be just like him mom. stoned and wasted just like my pops!"
then go take a hit in the kitchen immediately and don't let the smoke out.
they say ".....yeah mannnn! i'm just like my pops. wow! what a role model!"
then fix some food and offer you mom some and ask her what she'd like..
throughout that scenario you might her words coming out of other mouths, but pay no attention to them, they are just noises! once you finished, hit the books and turn those A Bs into A* As... yeah right

Talk to your dad about it, ask him to talk to your mom and go easy on you.
