Some people are really lashing out at you. All I have to say is, they make valid points. Now, let me put it in a way that doesn't seem like a direct attack.

Stop and think about it from their point of view. I know it's hard to understand, but they're trying to do what's best for you. I know you want to be on your own and you think their rules are stupid. I'm sure they seem that way to you, but your parents are really just trying to protect you. You realize that most of the people out there think marijuana's a horrible drug, right? You really need to sit down and talk to your parents about all of this. It's gonna be really hard and really painful, but both parties will come out the better for it. Remember to show them love, they love you far more than you can even comprehend. Don't ruin the relationship you have with your parents now, because years from now you'll be regretting it.

Oh, and girlfriend or boyfriend, not life partner. No offense, I'm sure it feels you'll be together forever, but things have a way of coming crashing down around you. But you know who'll always be there for you? Mommy and daddy. Awwwwwww.

Good luck, just remember sometimes you gotta sit back and think about it from their point of view.

not uncommon

it's a way for them to feel superior, or feel sorry for themselves, or maybe something else; society is full of shit, i see a lot of maturity in what you're saying, don't let folks get you down; and the troubles suck, but it can be quite helpful in life if you can have your parents on your side; but sometimes you can't, and if you had to leave then you have to; don't know how old you are, but if you can manage to keep on reasonable terms with them, it may pay off in the future; and one thing i'm thinking is if they don't understand than perhaps just be more secretive about your life; i know that's generally considered lousy advice, but i don't want you to be hating life at your folks house

i'll mention my story cuz there are similarities. i just had to move back in with my mother because of illness (lyme disease), but have recovered and am moving out; things are pretty chill but i find that she absolutely expects me to live the way she lives, value what she values; this has nothing to do with weed (i actually don't smoke myself, not cuz i don't want to, but i just never did, funny huh? ,..........why i'm here researching this fascinating plant...but i digress) but rather it has to do with her "god" if you will, which is hard work, work work work. always doing something, AND caring very much about what others think. i'm not that way; i value determination and follow-through, but i don't see "work" as an end-all............i could go on but this is all to say that freedom is important and as cliche as it is.........just keep it real, don't lose track of yourself..................something that happened to me in high school (which i imagine could be where you are) as i was desperately trying to fit in, a foolish ocupation

It's actually the crappy power of heart ring. It doubles as a whistle though, so that's kinda cool.

Oh, and thanks MaryJane. I speak from experience, growing up without a daddy and all. I'd give so much just to see him again, it's sad to see some people throwing away the relationship with their parents.

Different strokes, you know?

the life and times of a teenager, life isen't that bad quitchabitchin

i can't agree; i think being a teenager was a much more troublesome time in my life than my tweenties (and i've had serious illness and a divorce); everyone is different but i sure as hell don't look back on highschool as the "best time of my life"


..........all this makes me think of how i'd raise kids if i have them. i'd without a doubt smoke with them if they were of an age that they wouldn't be harmed by it and could handle the responsibility of keeping it secret; as well as alchohol. it's funny, my mother is norwegian, grew up in norway; i don't know what the drinking age is there but most teenagers will have a glass of wine with dinner with their parents now and again; it's very american to have these solid "puritanical" if you will (though "hypocritical" is better) statutes like "weed is bad", these ABSOLUTE laws in social culture...............which leads me to my last point which is:

recognize that your parents are IGNORANT. they have been told the same things about ganja that everyone in the usa has, it may be difficult to educate them, but you can try, and by all means educate yourself while your at it, there are risks

[wonderbear]

......as hard as it is you have to give them the benefit of the doubt in that way; if you HAVE to live with them, which i imagine you do, it will make life MUCH easier if you try to reconcile as best you can, explain things to them and perhaps they'll respect you for it, and if they don't, well at least you tried

he's right; don't burn that parent-child bridge, it's perhaps the most valuable one you get in life
