I know this was sort of done before but for those of you whos parents know you take drugs how did they find out and how did they react to it at first?

Over the last year or so she's found rizla etc, not long ago she found my tin but never says anything so i guess she's eased up on the fact..
Most people in Britain probably still have a stigma against drugs, so in that sense parents would worry. Also, everyone knows a person can get addicted to drugs so they wouldn't want that to occur to their child. IMO, they're just being protective.
However I can see your point, it is perfectly valid for a parent to worry if their child is using drugs, it isnt something to do lightly.
But, within reason, I'd be more concerned if my kid was drinking too much or was smoking tobacco.
As for my parents, no they dont know.
My dad found some puff in my room years ago and said;
"Your mum said she'd leave home if any of you did this, do you want to split up the family?"
How do you answer that exactly?
If I ever have children then I probably wouldn't want them taking drugs. Certainly when they are in their early teens and such. After they leave home, I guess I wouldn't have control over them!
I cant even describe to you how mad she was. Lets just say the 2 glass sculptures in my room that are worth more than my life are now in a bazillion pieces on my floor
My parent were very open about drugs and alcohol and so it was never a 'naughty' thing.
however - I never went so far as shooting up!! :eek2:
you take heroin and you still haven't sold your computer
No....suprisingly
my dad had a really good paying job so I saved up lots of the money he would give me and I still use that money to get heroin. Right now I have a disgustingly huge amountof money because the insurance money my dad left for me after he passed away. If I ever do spend all the money he left me (which I cant imagine doing), I would still have my clothes left to sell.....and thats...well...another story.
I didnt mean to sound like I was boasting...
My dad worked hard for his money...
Im not using ALL of it, just a portion.
my mum did put money away that I cant ever touch for my college fund.
edited to say.....
I dont think about it much because all I care about is drugs.
That is so not what i was :rolleyes: ing about!!
your attitude and situation suggest to me that you'll go down the same rocky road i went down.
what advice can i give you ...none.
Doesn't sound particularly healthy to me. I don't mean to preach, but is such an attitude wise if you end up needing narcotics more than food, shelter, etc.??
In your sig is says 'Cocaine is God's way of saying you're making too much money', so what is heroin saying to you? If drugs is all you think and care about then you are heading for a dangerous situation, having the cash for the drugs isn't the only issue here, it's the addiction that will be the problem. I'd really suggest you talk to someone about this
Heroin factsheet
Drugscope - find a drug service
Take care of you
