I'm 14. I'ma girl and I've been smoking for 2 years. Im a smoker and I like it and I know I'm not going to quit. I'm tired of hiding it and I want to smoke in the house with my mom like she does. I just dont know the best way to tell her. Should I just say it or should i write her a letter.

naimee answered Tuesday December 27 2005, 1:10 am: Haha, I remember when I told my mother! =] She was so mad at me, but in a way she understood because she started smoking when she was 13, and my dad started when he was 9. =] I came home SMELLING like smoke, and she knew most of my friends were smokers, and talked to me about it. Although at first she was pissed, we made jokes of it day after day I came home smelling like smoke. When she finally asked me, if I smoked or not, I told her yes & she said Thanks for finally telling me but I really want you to stop , and I think the only way that'll happen is if I stop & so does your dad. So, we all stopped - except my dad secretly smokes behind our backs all the time. =] But oh well. I think you should tell her face to face, because it'll make you look more mature. =) Just because writing her a letter seems kinda weird, she might get super mad about it, like all of it hitting her at once. But you could try the letter thing I suppose because you could tell her the reasons, how long you've been smoking, when you started, stuff like that. =] Yeah, go with the letter, because you'll get everything out at once!

I would tell her to her face... writing it in a letter only makes it worse... Start up a harmless conversation about her about it and then just say "well u kno.. i smoke" it wll be a shocker but if your mom smokes she should tlka to u about ti CALMLY!!!!

shopoholicgrl answered Monday December 26 2005, 11:55 pm: First of all I hope you know the dangers of smoking. There are terrible diseases that can come from it. Such as lung cancer, and alot more that can destroy your health and the health of others (example would be second hand smoking). Also I hope you know that smoking is illegal for somebody your age, just like drinking is. If you are prepared to suffer the consequences of smoking then that is your choice. But if you really want to tell your mom then I suggest telling her in person, to her face, because writing a letter seems very immature and impersonal. If you want her to take you seriously, as an adult, then tell her directly. (Even though you are not an adult and should not be smoking). I am also 14 and understand that you may like it, I just want you to understand the consequences. [ shopoholicgrl's advice column | Ask shopoholicgrl A Question ]
JustAskAlli answered Monday December 26 2005, 11:52 pm: If you want a reaction from her to your face, then you could just tell her straight up when your talking to her.
But if you worried on what she might say, then write her a letter, or something of that sort.
