First off, I am a 17 year old Junior at a competitive public high school. I was and am the captain of both hockey and lacrosse, and am a division 1 prospect in both sports. I have generally good grades (3.4 and 4.1 unweighted and weighted, respectively) and have high SAT and ACT scores (2150 and 34, respectively). However, I do smoke marijuana during the weekends. No, I do not drive high. No, I do not go into public high, and yes I smoke with my friends recreationally. I usually never buy my own weed, however my best friend’s older brother had a good deal for me and hooked me up. Anyways, my parents found an eighth and a pipe and took all of it and are now drug testing me and keeping me locked up in the house. And, I really do value my social life so this is taking a pretty big toll on me. I have thought about how to explain to them how they really can not stop me, as I have a car and they can not really control what I do, and that they just need to trust me. But, they are so shocked and disappointed that they won’t even listen. I was thinking about writing an extended research paper for my father, and just talking to my mom (varying parenting styles). Any advice as to how I can explain that it is normal (I know it may not seem “normal,” but literally everybody I am associated with does it) and that I enjoy it.
