drugs.
I do drugs, they make me happy. I've tried quitting, it doesn't work. My mom found out. She wants me to go to drug rehab. She thinks I have a problem, which I do. But that doesn't mean I want to quit? I think they're pretty fun. I do them when I'm in a bad mood; sad, angry, depressed, jealous, all that. Which just happens to be about everyday. Should I go? or should I just pretend that I'm quitting on my own? It's not like they're ruining my life. I still go to school and get decent grades.

You need to go to rehab. You admitted in your question that you have a problem. You've tried quitting and you can't. You said that you don't want to quit right now, which is part of your drug problem. Not everyone that does drugs is completely helpless, lying on a bathroom floor wishing they could stop. You're not at the bottom yet, but you will be if you keep doing drugs.
Also, because you do drugs when you're feeling negative emotions, that means you're self-medicating. There's obviously pain in your life if you're feeling sad, angry, jealous, and depressed everyday. You can get help for those things, but doing drugs on your own isn't the solution.
It's not ruining your life right now. You're only fifteen, of course you're going to school and getting decent grades still. But when you're 30 years old and you're at the exact same place you are now, doing drugs, you'll see that you have a problem.
Your mother cares enough about you to send you to drug rehab. It's a really good opportunity for you to get help early. A lot of people that need help really badly don't have anyone that cares enough about them to send them to rehab, even when they have a serious drug problem. The longer you do drugs, the harder it is to stop when you realize that you need to. You should take the opportunity while it's right in front of you instead of down the road when you've wasted half of your life.

Well, I began smoking pot a couple months ago, and just recently got off of it.
I understand how you feel about it. You say you can quit anytime you want, but would just rather not. So in reality, you can jump at any chance you get to get high.
And as fun as it is, and as happy as it makes you, it will kill you.
Trust me, you'll have one bad trip and be scared out of your mind. That happened to me, and I thought I was going to pass out and die.
And it's even scarier if you're snuck out with a couple of friends.
Now, I'm about two years younger than you, and I understood that I needed help, and accepted that
I was addicted. And you need to, too.
Once you get to rehab you'll realize how bad your situation is, even if you didn't think it was that bad to begin with.
Please make a good decision and quit, it'll save your life.

you should go to rehab. when you get older and will want a job, they wont hire you and you'll eventually hit rock bottom. my uncle spent his teenage years on drugs and never got off of them. he never went to rehab, and spent 4 years in jail due to making/selling/taking illegal drugs. my friends brother never went to rehab for his drug problem either. he is 29 and he, his wife, and his 9 year old daughter still live in his parents house. no matter what you do or how you take it, if you dont get off drugs, you WILL hit rock bottom. go to rehab. it'll help a lot. and im glad you can admit you have a problem. thats the first step.
take care, and i hope it all works out. :)
