Should I tell someone about my drug addiction? Please read !!
Hi . Im 13 and I have been smoking marijuana for a little bit now . I have been holding back this secret from my parents and even closest friends . I just don't want to be known as one who tries to fit in with the other crowd . That's not my reasoning for doing this . I do it because my brother is an addict and I tried it once and it was like the best feeling ever so I kept doing it . Ive gone to school high but since Im just a natural goof off and crazy student nobody seemed to notice as far as I know . I know its bad for you but I don't do it often . The addiction runs through my blood . I just cant help it . I cover up the smell with stong perfume and the days I smoke I usually just come in late and say Im tired I had a long night and go right to bed . Should I tell someone about this ? I just don't know what to do .

Hi there you should tell someone and get help quitting if you can't on your own and some people may tell you that it's not bad and well honestly it can and can't be just depends on how your body takes it. But you should be more worried with you schooling and not drugs. Right now weed may be all that you are smoking but that leads to more serious drug use because eventually the weed high won't be enough and you will want to replace that high with something else and before you know it you will be strung out on something really bad and then it will be even harder for you to quit. So I suggest you quit and tell your parents yes they will be mad and disappointed but will also be happy that you went to them with your problems I hope you take my advice. My mother is a drug addict and she started with weed and now does real bad drugs that she just cant quit

weed cant hurt you but you are too young and it could get you in a lot of trouble.. its best that you stop right away and focus on school if you cant stop tell your brother why you are doing it and tell your parents its a problem good luck and wish the best

You said you can't help it, you actually can.
My family has a countless number of people who are addicted to different things and also have different disorders.
My immediate family-My oldest brother was addicted to drugs, and ended up in prison. My second oldest brother was addicted to harder drugs but ended up getting help for them. My mother is an alcoholic, she's addicted to alcohol, it's now a disease. My younger brother is in juvi because of his addiction to drugs. My mothers side of the family has even more problems. I had gotten into some bad things myself, I felt myself becoming addicted but I stopped because I had strong enough will power.
So your will power isn't very strong because you feel like you can't help it.
So yes, go look for help to stop. It can ruin your life and people's lives around you. Talk to a counselor.

Do you feel you're addicted? Do you want to tell someone so they can help you stop? If that's the case, I'm just curious - have you ever tried to stop on your own? Telling your parents, who are already probably very stressed out about your brother, that you are addicted to drugs is going to change all of your lives a great deal. I'd give this some thought and if you really think you have a problem and you can't stop on your own, I'd talk to a guidance counselor.

I think the best thing for you to do is tell someone, im also a teen and i dont think going to a teacher is the best thing to do because they most likely wont understand your reasoning, but perhaps your parents or your best/close friend? because your reasoning for doing it isnt about fitting in with the crowd you need too tell someone who will listen to you aswell as guide you. At the end of the day, smoking marijuana is illegal so of course you are going to be encouraged to stop, you should tell someone who will help you stop. im sure you will feel alot better if you talk to someone you TRUST about it
