parent's bullshit.

hmm, thats only true for this year id say. my grades were perfectly fine in public school, 80s and 90s with an occasional C, and rarely a D. but this year i got put back in private school and the material is a lot more in private school with a harder rubric going on, and possibility of getting kicked out for mediocre grades exists. so basically, its just been this year and that has been because of the change in amount of work/expectation of the teachers, not the pot at all.

i would hope my dad is wiser than me, at least in general. but definately not on counts such as chemistry, botany, art, the english language, poetry and specific areas as such. i guess i see now why some responses were as they were.

 

Harder material is no excuse for bad grades, actually nothing is an excuse for bad grades for someone who claims to be wiser than his "hypocrite" father. You are just too lazy to put in the extra effort.

Being wise doesn't mean knowledge, it means understanding of life... learn this.

 

Never be sorry for a long read


Anyways, that's a really fucking interesting way to look at shit.

 

i feel u my parents over exagerate when i smoke too. But i wish they would just let me live the way i want to. I want them to not care if i smoke but i dont kno how to get tham to leave me alone. Anybody have any suggestions? would be greatly appreciated. thank you all

 

pretty much. its my life, and i understand they care about me, but unless they have to bury me i dont see how i am hurting them so bad.

 

It amazes me that you people are so shocked that your parents don't want you to smoke.

Smoking bad for you. Period. Pot is illegal. Period.

Of course they don't want you doing it. They CARE.

 

um you're only 15? sorry buddy but your parents are your legal guardians until you are 18 and you're just gonna have to get over it. you're lucky they haven't thrown your ass in rehab like MANY parents of pot smokers do...

 

what I meant when I was telling people to stop being such assholes, was that alot of you are saying things that you DEFINITELY didnt realize or say a couple years ago. for example:

beatlerific: "sorry buddy but your parents are your legal guardians until you are 18 and you're just gonna have to get over it."

^so youre saying you were neve rpissed at your parents rules before you were 18 adn taht you always accepted that you hadta follow what they said and were always over that fact?

come on, give the kid a break, dont bullshit and say you werent pissed at your parnets rules. it just sounds like a lot of 20-24 year olds here want to play the "older wiser" role is what it sounds liek to me. if youve already forgotten what its like to be a teen, then that stinks.

 

i was never pissed at my parents "no pot smoking rules"... that's just a bit ridiculous. if it's something against the law, and you're under 18 and living at home, you have no right to be pissed at your parents. they are simply OBEYING the laws and it doesn't matter if you think it's a stupid law or not! you're a minor! when you're 18, go vote and try to change the laws you are against! until then, i'm sorry but you have to deal with it like everyone else!
the only times i got pissed at my parents was when they wouldn't let me stay the night at a friends or go out after school. and i GOT OVER IT because i HAD TO. if you're under 18 and living at home, you HAVE to deal with your parents rules!
and no, i haven't forgotten what it's like to be a teen. i guess i just had more respect for my parents' rules.

 

and like i said..
i knew a LOT of kids who were thrown in REHAB for simply smoking weed. hmmm getting grounded or going to a month long rehab? i think i would choose following my parents rules or getting grounded.. it could be MUCH worse.

 

I don't think 15 year olds should be smoking pot on a daily basis in the first place.

 

This thread makes me feel suicidal, like that one song by Cream. Just kill me already! My god

 

As a parent of teenagers myself, I kind of expect you to be pissed sometimes, it's what teenagers do. As I say to my kids though when they're being especially pouty (which is what you're being now), "suck it up kiddo, you know where the boundary is. It's no [whatever it is]"

What I think people are trying to tell you is (well what I'm telling you is) those are the rules. You know what they are and you really know that they aren't going to change (who ever heard of good parent say "Holy smoke batman, my teenagers pouting, he must be right, I'll let him do something that's illegal and bad for his health") so what's the point of being pissed? It ain't going to change things.

 

Do you guys think your parents or anyone else would care that you smoked weed, if it were legal?

 

My mom knows now that me and my cousin smoke...yesterday she called and was like "I don't want no smoking in the house" lol so we went into my basement and smoked haha. My moms also a stoner as well.....i just havent asked to smoke with her yet.
