Q: Hello, first I would like to say that I am a 16/m and I started smoking weed every weekend and some weekdays since August. I went off to go hotbox my friends truck tonight and we did, and we had a blast. I was out from about 4-9, and we didn't smoke til about 6. Anyways, when I came home about 30 mins ago I said hello to my mom and then I started eating. My mom was like "What's wrong with your eyes... oh my gosh.. what have you been doing?" And I said "What!? Nothing! What do you think I've been doing? I stayed up really late last night watching a movie and then I woke up early and then I drank an energy drink so I'm really tired!" well then my mom was like "then go look in the bathroom mirror." and Oh my God. My eyes weren't TOO bad, but they were still hella glossy and a bit red, and wow were my pupils dialated. I simply said Mom, I DONT do drugs. I'm really tired... that's all... and she was like "whatever. take out the dishes." What I'm wondering is how do I deal with this? My mom will probably think that I have smoked before and then she will get mad, even though she used to smoke weed when she was my age. Thanks for any input, sorry for the long story :P

To be honest with you, and this might sound stupid, but you really should talk to her about it. Most mom's understand stuff like that. It may be hard and she may get upset but she's your mom, and she loves you. She is most likely going to tell you how bad it is to smoke weed and that she doesn't want you to do it. I am about to have a daughter in February and I know if she came to me and told me she was smokeing weed, I would be upset... But like your mom, I used to smoke, and because of that I would not be able to judge her (and neither can your mom.) I would suggest looking up information (whether on the internet or through books) on weed and the effects of it before you continue smoking. And any information you come up with, bring it to the table when you talk to your mom. It may help her to understand your decision to smoke if you show her that you really know what you are dealing with. Good luck, I hope it all works out for you!

I have always wanted to have my own advice column because many of my friends and family have come to me for advice, (especially my younger sisters and thier friends), and I always have something to tell them. I thought it would be nice to give advice to other people that need it as well. One good quality about me when it comes to my advice is that I have expierience both in the teen world and the adult world. I am also a soon to be mother and have some good advice for mothers and soon to be mothers. I have been through a lot for my age and I am more than willing to help ANYONE who needs it, and I hope I can do so.
