i've been wanting to tell my mom i smoke pot and cigs.. do u think its too soon for me to tell her..should iwait a couple years er what? just curious
id wait till youre out of the house living on your own.. 15 is pretty young to be smoking pot as it is (i know im only 17)
geez, seems like their are so many "telling my parents i smoke" threads latley... i dont think you should, especially at a young age. Im 18 and still dont plan on telling my parents. I dont see the point in it, it might mess up your relation with your parents really badly if they dont accept it. If you do plan on telling them, wait until your older.
I'd say wait a while...but my mom already knows I smoke, but that's because she busted me. So even if you wait to tell her, there's still always the chance that you'll get caught, and then she'll be dissapointed in you for both smoking and not telling her. When my mom caught me the thing she said she was most pissed about was that when she asked me if I smoke pot I told her that I didn't.
Most parents would be more pissed about smoking cigarettes- especially if they are smokers themselves. I just let my parents bust me and told them that it's my life and I'm gonna smoke. For a while (like 2 months) I lost all freedom. I couldn't even drive to school. This happened twice, before punishment busts truned into serious talking to's which turned into "I wish you would quit." Then I went to rehab for other drugs and now they are just thankful I'm alive and kickin'. ***Not all parents are the same tho. Some parents will come down on your ass and kick you out and stuff. It all depends on their value system and the way they discipline you. They may not mind at all. You kinda hafta be the judge.
don't tell them that you HAVE been smoking weed. tell them that you are THINKING OF TRYING weed. if they are ok with it then you can smoke in peace, if not then keep it secret. even if they are ok with you trying weed, don't tell them that you have done it before. they won't trust you in future and will doubt what you say.
im sure they already know... go for it, unless they are crackpots. if i open up to my parents then they will stop giving me money, they said that, that if i openly smoke cigs or weed then no pocket money so i'll wait until i have a job before i tell em.
I say when you know the time is right... i mean you know your parents and so you should know how they are going to react. Just trust your instincts...
a little thing called trust goes a long long looooooong way with parents but then again if the information you are trusting them with is that you murdered someone, the parent should send you to jail. so you gotta get it just right id say wait tho. its probably not worth it.
yeah, let them catch you...I mean don't sit there trying to get caught... When my mom caught me at 15 she was just disapointed...I stoped for a few days and then i started again, she caught me smoking ciggs along with my father and he didnt like the idea... I mean with time, they will get used to your lifestyles as they slowly realize that they don't have control over it... but yeah it does depend on your parents and you should NOT tell them
Wait until you're about 30 after they have payed for your college and you are well off on your own. They'll see that you ended up being sucessful (have a job, car, family, making money, etc.) despite you smoking pot and should not be mad.
i do it like i bring up marijuana smokers at school and if she calmy asks is i smoke i would say yes.
thats not a bad idea, just don't make it obvious right away. Maybe bring up the conversation with the nicer more leanent parent and do it like that..
you really shouldnt if you want to keep smoking 15 is too young to be making those kinds of decisions and your parents will see it that way. i can see an 18 or 19 year old confronting their parents about something like that but at 15 youre still maturing and only in like freshman year..
Why would you wanna tell your parents? I wanted to keep it a secret as long as I could, until I got caught... cuz... why risk it? They could flip out and send you to rehab... who knows? Or they could be cool with it, and go out and buy you a bong for your birthday, lol. Its 50/50... so I wouldnt do it. Good luck
It's kind of stupid just to let them catch you, because then they'll be even more dissapointed in you than if you outright told them, because you will have betrayed their trust, which is what pretty much every post in this thread has been about.
