Yeah, I think it's right, I mean, it's what I would've done. .. I don't think I could rat someone else out. Just tell your dad you were with some people that were smoking it, but you didn't. He can always have you tested if he doesn't believe it.

Good job about not being a snitch.. Think of a good cover up story.. but make sure you make up a believable cover-up.. believe me.. *reminisses* If you don't lie, then tell him the truth: You were around people who were smoking weed, and you weren't! Say that you wouldn't smoke weed (in this situation anyway)and you made the decision not to, and he should be proud that you made a good decision! Hope I helped you, good luck with your dad! -Ce

I think you did the right thing. I would never rat anyone out unless they were my enemey.lol. But me and ym cousin always take the blam for eachother because we both do some stupid crap. You should feel really proud of yourself.

Honestly, I don't think you did the right thing. If you didn't feel right being in the car with someone high and driving, you should have called a Taxi or rode with someone else. You should talk to your cousin's older brother and tell him it's not "kewl" to be stoned and drive. My brother got into a big car acidented this year and was in the hospital for a month. He almost die, all because he was stoned and drove home. Don't let anyone you care about get behind the wheel if their drunk or stoned, please.. =)

Honestly, you shouldn't be put in that situation if you aren't comfortable with it. During your High School Years you are going to come across TONS people woh are experimenting with new drugs and often its either pot or alcohol. If you don't like the situation, don't let yourself be put in the middle of it. Confront your brother about how your dad asked you about it and tell him that you're not getting in trouble for him being stupid and careless. If you still don't feel comfortable sit down and talk to your father and let him know what the situation is. It will save yourself but it might hurt your brother. You also have to remember that your brother does things on his own will and that he IS doing drugs. Hopefully all works out for you sweetie! Best of Luck. *Melissa*

I'm not sure that you did the right thing.. If it was me.. I would of probably told.. Only because smoking pot in a car... and if you get pulled over... you will all get charged with possesion of weed... whether you didnt do it.. or you didnt have any.. you will all get charged (well thats how it is in NY anyway) and I would have rathered have my dad say something to my cousin to make him realize that.. or would you rather have him get pulled over by the cops.. and possible Jail time..

Hope I helped

No one likes a tattletale but driving under the influence of drugs is a horrible thing, you all could have been killed. Perhaps telling on your cousin would have been a good idea, maybe he wouldn't do it again because who knows what would happen if he were to drive around high again? he could kill himself or someone else.

*tasha* answered Tuesday August 17 2004, 11:50 am:
I think you should have just been like "no dad gosh!I don't smoke pot." and be kinda like mad and have that "I can't belive you think i'd do somethin like that!" attitude.I personally wouldn't tell on my cousin unless I could get in a lot of trouble.I might though because he's ruining his life smokin pot.So yea,I guess I'd tell on him.But if your cousin gets mad at you for ratting him out then big deal!I would personally rather be grounded by my parents for like a year for smoking pot then go to jail!lol. So ya,good luck!tell me how things work out!

You might have done the right thing by not getting him in trouble, but now he might do it again and get himself or his sister in a serious accident. Its dangerous to drive under the influence, so you should talk to someone about it. Who knows maybe in the future he will thank you. If you dont feel comfortable telling anyone atleast make the choice not to drive with him again!

You didnt say they you were the one smoking pot, did you? I know you dont wanna be a rat or anything..just say someone else was..but you didnt try it. I probably wouldnt have told on my cousin either..but dont take the blame for it.

Ronlina answered Tuesday August 17 2004, 11:00 am:
Well, you shouldn't have to take the blame for things your cousin does. If it's not causing a problem with your parents, there's no reason to mention it but you can always just tell them the truth: that someone else had been smoking it, but you did not try it. NO need to name anybody if you don't want to.

That said, try not to catch a ride with that cousin anymore if he's gonna smoke. If someone is stoned it's gonna have basically the same effect as if they were drunk - and you wouldn't go into a car with someone who is drinking and driving, would you? ((hope not)). That's just an accident waiting to happen.

I guess there are better ways of handling that situation, but since I have friends who smoke pot, I would have handled it the same way.

Dom answered Tuesday August 17 2004, 10:59 am:
Well im not sure if you did right. But in my terms thats what i would have done. And then later on i would have went to her older bro that smokes the pot and try to reason with him not to smoke anymore cause it almost got you in trouble. And if that doesnt work i would suggest of talking to your cousin and discuss this with her. Sorry i wasnt much help.
