Question

Help answer this question below.

I just found out my daughter is smoking marijuana. I want her to stop, but just telling your teen ager to stop doing something is not realistic. Any ideas on what I can say or do to get her to think about what shes doing? What would have worked for you?

    I did this in high school and if my parents found out I wouldn't have been given access to the marijuana because I would not have ever been let out of the house except to go to school. Yes, some kids these days can and do do it right in school, but the school I went to I do not think anyone could have gotten away with it. I am not saying to lock her away, but don't reward her for doing this by letting her have her freedom. Smoking weed is very serious and can screw up your life, maybe not to the extent that other drugs can. I honestly think no matter what you try to teach her about the dangers of what she is doing is going to go in one ear and out the other...after all wasn't she taught in school since she was very little that doing drugs is bad?

    I really believe that you need to find the sources and cut them out of her life. If you have to ground her and let her have no freedom then so be it. It's better than having her arrested, or worse get hooked on more serious stuff.
