Wow... after reading that it made me think of myself...im 17 and as ur brother is a Senior in highschool. I think that it sounds as if i just read a post about my life... I make good grades almost straight As at the moment but, have very bad relationship with my parents over cannabis, which quite actually is soo damn ridicolous.... My dad rather me smoke pot than ciggerattes hes straight up told me that but the fact its illegal makes it no better i guess. sometimes its really hard to get threw to people... Maybe even just letting him fuck up well really give him a reality check. Fortunally ive never fucked up but came awfully damn close about 2 days ago. Police been watching me saying that im dealing drugs and waht not but thats soo not fucking true. And im "marked" now i dont understand it.. All i do is smoke occasionlly with friends..... Anyway i know exactly waht ur talking about tell him that ur not upset with him u just want him to keep FOCUSED on the right things in life... like COLLEGE. :thumbsup:
