so 2 days ago i was smoking with my girl in my room and we were doing what people in relationships do lol. well apparently my mom came home early and smelt the smoke, so she decided to take my car when i was in my room, and now today my dad asked me if i smoked since then and i said no. well he said bullshit, and now he is selling my car. parents should suck a FAT DICK.
you should of said something like this " At least im not snorting coke or shooting up dope, that wouldnt make my room smell would it? NO, thats right but i smoke a plant that hasnt killed one person" i believe i said that to my parents when i was 17
or the more mature response, "sorry for smoking in your house, that was rude and disrespectful without your consent. from now on i'll smoke where you cannot be implicated by my behavior." your parents may suck a dick (sounds like a classic 17 year old thing to say), but they also raised you from a baby, paid for food for the last 17 years, provided shelter and an education, and worked their ass off to do so. grow up my friend. when you are a responsible adult supporting yourself and living in your own place, then you can do whatever the hell you want, when you want to do it, however you want to do it. until then, you live in their house and should respect their wishes. doesn't mean you have to agree with them though, it just means you have to take your activities elsewhere if you want to do them.
I completely agree with this. Although if you were smoking in my house and I didn't like it I'd get pretty pissed too. Although selling your car is overboard. Are you American?
qft. you don't have to conform to their lifestyle, but you do have to respect it while they're supporting you. find a chill spot someplace, it's more fun anyway!
yeah i live in Ohio, just go up to your parents and say how it really helps you in certain ways. Also what i did was bought me a vaporizer, so it didnt reak my up room to much, my parents didnt mind if i used a vape + silencer ( toilet paper roll and fabric softener )
ya like my parents have always been pretty cool but lately they have been cracking down hard on me for weed. they act like i am robbing banks or something. i am american lol. but i did quit doin x so at least im just smokin weed lol.
their house, their car, their rules. If they were previously cool with the weed and now they're not cool, could you be giving them something to be concerned about? I know that my mentality with a kid would be handle your business and I'll stay off your case, fuck up, and it's going to be like living in boot camp.
yeah thats how parents are though, its illegal so they dont wanna risk getting in trouble with it in their house, your their son and they dont wanna see you in legal troubles either. also, maybe they haven't smoked and dont understand why you would smoke it, looking at it as a bad drug or something. if they didn't think it was gonna effect you badly and it helped you in certains ways, they would maybe be mroe cool about it. but yeah, maybe you should sit em down, shouw em some research and let em know why you smoke, what it does for you, show em that your responsible about it and shit, that'd be a good way to go about things.
Well, brother, YOU fucked up. They're your parents! Don't be a dumbass and have the house smell like weed when they come home! And another thing: you lied about it. So this is on you. Don't bitch about your parents.
absolutely agreed. you lied to your parents, and in doing so lost both trust and respect from them. do you honestly wonder why they reacted the way they did...? :banghead: respect is a two way street. give them reasons to trust you, and they'll start treating you like an adult. as of now, it seems like they have little reason to do so, which is why they took the car away. no one is saying you should never smoke weed again...that should be obvious. but your smoking weed isn't the fundamental issue here...it goes much deeper than that: it's your parent's complete lack of trust in you. if you want to fix this problem from the ground up, earn their trust and respect and i assure you good things will happen. not just in the immediate future, but for the rest of your life. parents are good people to have on your side if some real shit happens to you when you grow older. at 17 this is hard to appreciate, but i promise when you are 25, poor, recently evicted, between jobs, unpaid medical bills, no health insurance and broken up with your girlfriend...it's nice to have people to depend on. not saying this will happen to you, but it happens to the best of us now and then.
I had a friend that got caught by her parents a couple of times. She just pulled the old "I'm young and confused and just experimenting." and they bought it every time. lol. But yeah, the dead horse has been beaten but just wait and you'll be on your own soon enough free to make your own rules (as far as society allows.) In the meantime play it cool and respect the folks.
Or just dont ever smoke in your house like me. Ive only smoked in my house ONCE and it was because i knew no one would be home for like three hours +. And it was in the bathroom with the fan on and a hot shower, and towel under the door. Just go down the street or something. Really guys, what do you expect him to tell his parents the truth?? Yes i was smoking marijuana. Theyre still going to be pissed as hell anyway so why not take the chance of getting out of it. Thats just what I think. Also legal troubles for a 17 year old dont stay on a record either. Depends where you live also but here it would be a $100 fine. I think they make it worse if your under 18 though because I still hear crap about younger kids having to do like some rehab BS for the DEA to use as their statistics or go to juvie. Which is bull shit since its decriminalized anyway.
for the same reason that people plead guilty in the court of law. they know they will get caught (parents are not as dumb as you think they are...TRUST me on this. why? because they were once teenagers too believe it or not), but if you're straight up honest with them they will treat you with a little bit of dignity. nothing pisses off a parent more than breaking the rules AND being lied to about it. all of their respect for you will go through the window quicker than a baseball hit by barry bonds. put it this way: if you lie about it and get caught, they'll never trust you again. so much so that if they suspect something later on down the road, and you are actually innocent this time, they wont' believe you...and then you're fucked.
Still, ive heard of some dumb parents. I know MINE know their stuff but alot of others dont. And yeah, out the window thing happened to me when i got caught stealing a lighter. Didnt lie about anything My mom was amazingly mad. .... it was dumb.
