I don't know what to do

[IntrepidS]

Long story short: I had a conversation with my little sister last week about weed. I told her it wasn't a bad thing and that it's better than smoking cigarettes and drinking (which IMO it is). I didn't choose to talk to her about it I asked her to borrow money and she said she knew what it was for because she read some messages that some faggot near my house left me asking if I want some weed. I had to explain her that it's a fun thing to do and that I like it, it doesn't make me a bad person, and it's not bad for me.
Fhe now refers to it as bud (because that's what she saw in the messages). She caught me on my balcony earlier right after I was done smoking a joint and I told her I was just smoking a cigarette she said that she only wants me smoking sheesha and bud.

I'm scared. But I will educate her about this as she grows up and make sure she understand the purpose of weed, and to never try most other drugs.

Sorry, IntrepidS, I'm confused...what are you scared about?
Is it that you're scared that she might tell your mum?
Or, are you scared that your sister will start smoking weed - or indeed, try something harder?

[IntrepidS]

The latter. We went over the former.

Okies.
Right, at the end of the day, you aint gonna stop her from doing anything - sad, but it's a fact. Therefore, what you must do is be her teacher, rather than run the risk that other, less caring people, will.
So, why not take your sister out somewhere (I dunno where, but somewhere where you can have her undivided attention), and tell her the facts. Get as much information as you can from the net, and print it off (if you can) -and talk to her, like an adult, without trying to act as if you are forbidding her to do it - that will only alienate her from you - the last thing that youy need to do!
Make her feel at ease with the information that you are telling her - ie, explain things fully, and without glossing over anything or trying to frighten her with it.

At the end of the day, you NEED her to trust you and think of you as a person who is on her side - this is essential for the future. The thing that you are trying to acheive here, is TRUST from her, so that you can be sure that she will come to you for advice.
There are alot of bad folk out there that will prey on her impressionable mind - better that you get in there first, yes?
Then, she can make an informed decision based on the CORRECT INFO that you have given her, rather than the typical bullshit that someone less desirable could tell her, ie, how many kids have gotten hooked on heroin, because they were told that it is harmless??

It's up to you, dude - if it were me, I'd want to be the one informing her of her choices, and not some low-life drug-pusher!

Hope you find a way, dude - I am already preparing myself to inform my own kids on the facts of such things, and they're only 6 & 4, at the mo... I want to be their teacher, not a scummy twat from the outside world

before I say something stupid, how old is your little sister Intrepid?

[BOgart.bitch]

the best thing you can give her is the chance to make an educated decision about whether or not she would want to smoke weed. like res said, you wont be able to stop her if that is what she wants - but at least you can make sure she is educated and plays it safe.

[IntrepidS]

Well yea, the thing is that she's 11/ I don't think I have to teach her about these things for another 2-3 years.

[Proof]

Next time u will know to be more careful she wont tell ur parents if u ask her not to, maybe one day u can smoke a nice joint with her ? who knows

[Bro DZ]

wow, IntrepidS, you borrowed money from your 11 year old sister? LoL that seems kinda low of u dude... but yeah, you should give her the facts about maryjane and let her know that smoking pot does make you slow/unresponsive when your stoned and recommend against her smoking till shes older.

hopefully she respects you enough to listen to your advice.
Peace
