  • well i also have a 17yr old and i'm in the same place that she's leaving at 18, i know she done weed and i had a talk to her, all i could tell you is just keep talking to them they think they know everything at this age, i know when i was 17 i thought i knew everything and parents didn't know what they were talking about. Just keep talking to him, kids now and days are just so spoil that's why
  • He's almost a grown up, just support him emotionaly as much as you can. When he's 18 maybe he SHOULD leave for a while, no better way to learn what the world is really like! If it's too hard on him, let him come home for a bit, minus the pot.
  • My parents have the same problem. My little brother is in a drug rehab center until he turns 18 in two months. His problems are a bit worse, not just pot, but he needs to be where he is to make him a better person. :)
  • Do you love this child? If you do,as I assume you do, you must get him some help. In PA we have a place called TEEN CHALLENGE. a faithbased rehab initiative in Rehrersburg,Pa. Weed not always a starting point to worse stuff, but I am here to tell you"been there, done that"as a kid. I took it farther.Talk to a clergyman and your school guidance councellor. The kid might hate you for it, but better he hate you and stay alive than love you to death.
  • Oh my he could be using something else. Weed is just a plant they even use it to treat glacoma ( sorry about the spelling) If you just back off of him a tiny bit he might think well your not climbing up my back anymore so they might not care and then he might give it up. Just keep in mind before you get all your panties up in a bunch it could be something way worse.
  • I had the same problem going on with my son. I went to the probate court and asked them to order a psychological evaluation. They sent me straight to Drug and Alcohol Division at the Department of Social Services. They did an assesment which, of course he failed because he was high then. From there we were sent to the office of the department of Jeuvenile Justice. At this office my son acted a fool and spouted off all sorts of nonsense. When we got home he ran away because I was "ruining his life". I called and reported him as a runaway. He was arrested. Then because I had done all of the necessary paperwork his psych eval was expedited. He spent 3 months in a Jeuvenile Evaluation Center that was a lot like jail. He is home now. On probation. So now I have back up.
