i smoke and my parents know. we ahve reached an agreement that I am free to smoke as I plaese as long as i dont do it infront of my brother or in the house or while driving, let it interfere with my school work, or get myself into risky situations. they know what I am doing when I take the dog for unusually long walk or when I am with certain friends or when I wake up in the middle of the night and chill on the back porch. my parents smoked infront of me when I was very young.. they smoked joints on family camping trips and passed the bong between themselves in the kitchen. they figured that I was more than likely to experiment and they see little harm in me smoking as long as i keep it under control. i'm a little scared to smoke infront of my folks, but i know they wouldnt be too bothered. i'm a good daughter and ive earned my right to smoke. if i fuck up, i know its one of the things they will take away from me.
