Help me Convince my parents to let me smoke

[pj12345]

When i was 11 years old my dad died in the world trade center which made me very depressed and not social. I didn't feel like i fit in to that school anymore after his death and it led to 3 more years of misery, pain, and not talking to anyone besides one or 2 friends that i had. I decided when I was 14 that i wanted to go to a different high school not linked to that middle school to get a fresh new start and make a lot of new friends and start my new life. I went to A catholic high school with my, at the time best friend, and it seemed like everything was going very smoothly. About two months into the school year, i hated it, had no friends @ the school besides the one kid, and it was just getting worse. To try and fit in i made fun of this one kid a lot and i quess i made fun of him so much that he told the principle that i squeezed his leg which never happened. I had to talk to the school cop and my mom and her boyfriend and me had to sign a sexual harassment form and if it happened again i would get kicked out. Everyone knew about the sexual harrasment thing and I was made fun of 10 times worse than ever. Everyday during lunch someone would throw food @ me etc.... I didn't defend myself because i didn't want to get in trouble again and my mom said if anyone ever messes with you just dont talk to them and ignore them.

A couple months later Im sitting in class with my laptop ( everyone in our school has laptops) and this kid made fun of me for no reason. I told the kid if he didnt shut up i would hack his computer. I didn't know how to hack computers and the principle found out what i said and took my laptop away for 2 months. All of your hw is done on your laptop so my grades started to struggle. I tried out for the baseball because i was pretty good and made it. ( I didn't make any of the middle school teams because the coach told my mom that since another kid in our school father died in 9/11 they couldn't take me because the other kid would think its unfair) I played baseball that whole season and my best friend who was also on the team played. I was one of the best players on that team and i was the designated hitter when should have been starting. My friend was the only catcher and was a starter and he played. He made fun of me of how i was always sitting the bench and eventually led to us hating each other. I talked to my mom about going to another high school and i decided to go to the high school that i would have gone to if i didnt go to the catholic one.

So im 16 years old and going to the public school and things were getting better. My mom remarried to a guy that i like very much and is very nice. So his nephew at the weeding bought up the subject of marijuna. So the next time he was over my house we decided to smoke it up in my pool house ( Im 16 and soph @ the time and hes 18 senior in hs going to Albany ) I liked it a lot and wanted to smoke all the time. A couple of months later i finally did it again but this time i bought a half ounce which lasted me prob a month by myself. I had no idea about weed and i only smoked a joint a day for 1 month and it was gone. In my heart i always felt that it was necessary to tell my parents everything so i told her that i tried it. She didn't think it was the end of the world but she never wanted me to do it again. ( my step dad thought the same) . My mom has never smoked weed in her whole life and my step dad has only done it 2 or 3 times. After that conversation i still ended up smoking because i liked it so much and i didn't think my parents would care that much. Going into my junior year of hs still smoking all the time and my parents have no idea. Im 17 years old things are going well have 4 to 5 friends i hang out with and im still smoking a lot.

My parents go to Aruba for a week and my grandma is watching me for 1 week and my 2 younger sisters. (my grandmas son was a hardcore druggie and ruined a big part of his life which made her be 100 % against it) . I was sitting in my house and i figured out my sister smoked cigs so i asked her if she wanted to go outside and and ill smoke weed while she smokes a cig. We told our grandma that we were going to drop off her tenis racket @ her friends. My grandma must have got worried so she drove down the road and looked for us. We ran into the house and i was high as hell. I went into my room and my grandma smelled me which eventually led to my parents finding out and figuring out that ive only smoked once. I get grounded for 2 months which meant i couldnt do much. After that day i promised myself i would never smoke again because i wanted my parents to trust me. During superbowl, my close family friends came over. One of the girls that i was friends with wanted to smoke so we decided to smoke for a little. None of us had a lighter so we took the long torch lighter from the draw. 1 hour later my mom comes up to me telling me how the lighter smells like weed. ( Caught again didn't get in trouble this time smelled it because lighting a birthday cake) 2 months Later still smoking i finally give in and tell them that im done forever and give them all of the weed that i had on me because i really wanted them to trust me b/c we have such a good relationship.

Yesterday April 5,2008 my friends wanted to smoke so i caved in and did it after not doing it for 2 months. ( I wasn't peer pressured to smoke , i just love it ) The reason i said everything was to get you guys to know a gist of my life and figure out as many ways as i can to talk my parents into letting me smoke. I'm nervous that i will be tested tonight or tommarow night so i just need ways to convince them to let me smoke.

I have had pretty much the same exact life as you. It is almost scary how similar your story and my story are to one another. I brought up my marijuana use to my parents and even asked them to let me grow a plant or two inside of my room. I thought that they would be supportive because I am a very easy person to get along with and use marijuana as a social activity to hang with friends because I would be home by myself all the time if I didn't smoke. Its not that I am a fag or don't get along with people just when you have a depression it is very hard to want to communicate with people. When I brought it up my mom and dad talked to me and said that they don't support my use at all and that they have been down the same road and it dosen't lead to any good. They just told me that they know I have had a hard life and smoking is not going to help. My advice to you is that if you like to smoke and your depression would become to much without weed then continue to do it without saying anything to your parents.

well...

firstly, you really should put paragraphs in longer posts. makes 'em easier to read.

secondly, you might want to clarify that you are indeed over eighteen. it's just not very clear in your post.

thirdly, it's your life. i completely understand wanting them to trust you and whatnot, but with weed.. shit gets mixed up. they want what's best for you, and to them, that means they don't want you to smoke weed. there's probably no convincing them otherwise. therefore, you're best option is to smoke without them knowing. if you believe that smoking is bad and it's negatively affecting your life, then quit. but if you can use weed in healthy ways, then smoke, there's no problem. it's really easy to not get caught, you just got to think about it.

Parent's tend to be against marijuana use for one reason. Ignorance. They do not tend to know all the facts about it and just classify it as a drug and as a parent you wouldn't want your kids doing drugs now would you? I would say that you could try and educate your parents about everything, but even then that sometimes just doesn't work. Every single person that I've ever met that is against smoking is someone that doesn't know anything about marijuana in the first place. When I was younger my head was filled with propaganda surrounding it and I was against it for the longest time. It wasn't until I put my own research into the topic that I learned that everything I had been told was a lie. The only way you could ever truly convince your parents to allow you to smoke is to educate them about marijuana. I know it's a long shot, but if you do actually decide to do that make sure you know your facts 100% and you have a solid argument backing yourself up. Good luck to you man.

its hard being young, alot of things that you never experianced or understand...but that is how life is. you learn something new everyday, even though you will make mistakes whats important is that you learn from them. no one is perfect. he problem with smoking weed is you get so much of a buzz and you smoke so much where sometimes you cometo a fork in the road where you decide the buzz isgood enough or you try something differnt to acheive tat same great feeling you had when you first smoked. this is where some people make the bad mistake. i kinda sorta had the same situation. i was deaf in one ear so you know i was made fun of. also because of behavour problems i went to differnt elementry schools growing up. the most stable time was in middle school where i went to the same school for the full 3 years. then i went to 2 a catholic h.s. fresh and soph yr. jr yr i went to public hs, where i was actauly happy because i was with pretty much everyone i grew up with...sr yr i moved down south to tx. so neways i say the best thing for you to do is show people around you that u r a good freind/person. be respecful, dont talk shit about people, and dont be a fruad. in time you will find that people think good of you. and try not to have much resentment. even though its hard not to, it will only hold youback and kept you from enjoying your life...you are still young so have fun while you can
