should i come clean?

alright so i've been smoking frequently for about a year and a half now.. and my mom has been suspecting it for 2-3 months.. ever since she found my grinder which i said was someone elses( classic excuse) but anyway.. ive always lied about it and said " could i play sports and be this smart and get good grades if i smoke?".. she knows ive tried but doesnt know anything else.. ive been thinking lately.. what if i just admitted to everything and tried to convince her i can be perfectly fine and smoke? my main arguning point would be i got a 1890 on my sats and i alrdeady have $40,000 in garunteed scholarships.. all while smoking daily.. i wanna tell her i will only smoke on weekends.. but its gonna be a tough task.. and i dont wanna upset her..

 

yeah, just do it.. makes everything a lot easier.

 

DUI's cancel alot of things.. So do drug possesion charges.. B/careful...

 

Maybe you'll do better than me, but I smoked like a madman in highschool and I got a 2070 and my SATs and I was salutatorian. College is so much fucking harder though, it's impossible for me to smoke all the time and get good grades, which is why I'm looking at a possible A, a hopeful B, and a couple of Cs this semester. >:{

 

you're 18, i'm guessing.. so you should be able to do whatever you want.
you are doing well in school, you play sports, you have scholarships.. i don't see weed being a harmful thing in your life.

you know how parents are though... they dont want their kids doing illegal things.
just make sure you have a lot of info to back it up!

 

Maybe your mom knows and is adopting a don't ask / don't tell kind of deal.

 

yeah i might do better in december, 1890 was my first and only score.. and being 18 means nothing to my parents lol.. i still respect them but if i go through with telling them.. i might make a giant pamphlet that reveals the truth about any negative myths surrounding marijunana..try to convince them its not bad.. and i'll only be the second one in my family to go to college, so i think that while they are so happy and proud of me i'll be like "oh and by the way.. i smoked pot through all of high school"

and i'm not gonna be smoking alot in college lol.. medical school might be a little difficult as a pothead..

 

she's way too emotional and irrational for that lol she was completely oblivious until she found hard evidence

and where do you go to school and what do you study, if ya dont mind me askin?

 

I go to UNC Chapel Hill and I'm a physics major. I'm taking Phys 116 next semester, so if that doesn't go well I may switch to psychology. I love me some neuroscience. <3 I'm thinking about minoring in creative writing.

Right now I have a ~95 in Psyc 220 (Biological Psychology), probably a B in Math 231 (Calc I), I got two tests in the '90s and a 78 on the third. I got a 70 something and a 68 in Anthr 148 (human origins), and I got a 76, 78 and 68 in reli 106 (origins of judaism, which i've made pass/fail. i should have dropped it).

I was honestly doing a good job of balancing school and bud, until I got caught and spent a week in limbo wondering whether I'd be kicked out. Since then it's been difficult to motivate myself to go into crunch mode. I'm just trying to get by this semester, and hopefully will return with more vigor and a new attitude next semester.

 

yeah that schools tougher to get into than montclair state univ. i'm majoring in biology.

 

i wouldn't tell them until you're COMPLETELY independent of them. you never know how they're react... =x

on a side note all this college talk is making me antsy

 

what grade are you in? if your a sophomore in hs or younger... take PSAT and then erase college from your mind

 

being 16 would make me a junior -.-

 

plenty of juniors are 17.. i was 17 my whole junior year..

 

traditionally in the state of PA you turn either 16 in the beginning or 17 later in your junior year.

 

Junior year as in junior year of high school? Lol junior year your like 14 here

 

If you do decide to tell your mother that you smoke , here's a good argument that you can give her:
Carl Sagan came with up with the majority of his scientific ideas while he was under the influence of cannabis.

you guys have like "college" though, which i'm still not completely sure what that is, but i do know it's before "university", which is our "college"

ehh that made no sense

 

University here is the equivalent of college there i think... College here is pretty much the equivalent to your technical schools

 

do it. hopefully your parents will be ok with it. just dont go over board.. you have alot going for you apparently don't overindulge.
