My parents found weed in my room. Help!!?

Question

Yeah so i'm 16 and my parents found weed in my room. it was in my school bag because a friend brought it for me at school, and i guess it fell without me noticing and the found it. So last night they had this huge talk with me about how the told me since i was little that weed is bad and i still bought it anyway, they also wanted me to tell them were i got it but as a good friend i just invented a name and a story of how i got it. i don't how i should act around them now i'm just trying to avoid them as much as possible. I'm not the type of kid that says i'm sorry and i wont do it again even if i feel sorry. i guess its because i feel embarrassed. Can you guys help me on what i should do and how should i say i'm sorry and regain there trust even tho that's probably not gonna happen lol. BTW THE ONLY REASON I GOT THE WEED IS BECAUSE EVERYONE IS ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT HOW THEY DID IT AND IT WAS AWESOME AND HOW IT CANT KILL YOU, SO I JUST DECIDED TO BUY IT JUST TO TRY IT OUT, WHICH OF COURSE I DIDN'T EVEN GET THE CHANCE TO DO.

Answer 1

You should own up to the fact that you made a really stupid mistake and risked your entire future for the sake of a little peer pressure.



Then you are thankful that it was your parents who caught you rather than the police ... and you move on. (And you DO promise to never do it again. I trust you know that a drug conviction can ruin any chance you have to go to college or get financial aid.)

Answer 2

Its weed. Stop stressing so much about it. I smoked weed with friends in high school, and got caught with it by my school and was suspended for it my senior year. I still got in to a great school, did well, and eventually got a PhD. Its not the end of the world, it is not as bad as people are making it out to be.



If you want to regain their trust the best method is to be open and honest. Tell them you feel terrible for defying them and want to regain their trust. Then, and this is the hard part, make all your decisions with that in mind. This is going to get long but maybe it will help. Aristotle said:



A brave man is not brave once, he is brave over and over again. Bravery is a habit, not an act.



The idea here is that bravery, and in your case, trust, is not about doing one thing. If you want to have their trust, you have to act trustworthy over and over and over again, and eventually, after acting and being trustworthy you will be known as that again. Its a slow process but its doable.
