Q: (I'm 14) I've been going out with my bf for awhile, and I always knew that he USED to smoke pot, and stopped like 6 months ago,and sometimes drinks a lot because of family problems...Well about 3 weeks ago he left a voice message saying he wouldn't be able to call because he got grounded because he "got caught doing something...very bad" and wouldn't tell me what it was, well his parents disconnected his phone and I found out yesterday from his friend justin (i had to practically beat it out of him...because he was afraid i'd go off killing my bf or something...) that his parents caught him smoking (which explains why he cant run 2 miles anymore) and that he used to have a big stash of cigs in his room, but that he quit after his parents caught him...then he asked if i was gonna break up with him, i said "i have no idea" And i haven't talked to him because he's grounded, and as selfish as it is, it pisses me off..

I dunno what to do, should I break up with him or not? I know all my friends will say I should, because I'm in the "good" group of friends, a lot of them go to church and have very strong beliefs and have never done any of that stuff,(we live in a small town in farmersville u.s.a so that stuff is a big deal) I'm in with them...but barely (my family is screwed up) it's like i'm teetering on the edge of good and bad...and i always fall for the messed up guys, and I know my bf is messed up..but i love him, and I don't know...he's never pressured me or ANYTHING, he's not like that, but I know dating someone with that many problems isn't good and will lead to problems, because drugs and alcoholism run in MY family too..but no matter what he does i can't hate him

Any advice would be lovely, and I rate =)
i dont think you should break up with him. mostly because i smoke and if i say that you should break up with him jsut because he smokes cigarettes then i would be a hypocrite. but if he never pressures you into smoking or drinking or doing pot then i also see no reason for you to dump him if you really like him.

Added- ok, why dont you just tell all that stuff you told me to your boyfriend? its not doing any good telling some random stranger that you dont care about all that shit.

You smoke too, that doesn't help me...I have parents who smoke so I know what it does to you besides kill you, give off 2nd hand smoke, make you smell like sh**, and make your teeth yellow...Smoking and drugs just mean that you're running from life...
