Just got caught smoking by my folks today, been at it since 10th grade (a senior now) and they finally caught me.
Told them it was for sleeping and eating problems (Which they've seen me having in the past) Dad seemed to buy it, mom didn't. Basically i'm on house arrest until i "Find out where my life is going".
The problem lies in that my parents don't approve of where my life is going (music production and composition), so it's kind of a catch 22.
I'll be 18 in june, so i have until then to do a couple things (this is where i could use the advice...)
I can just sit around, take whatever they throw at me, and leave when i'm 18.
I have a friend who lives like a block away who's house i could move into (Though my parents have threatened to call the police before when i said i was leaving)
I could stick around the house and just come and go as i please (like i do now), but without parental consent. Possible cops involved in that one too.
This situation has been through my head over and over again since i started smoking, and i always thought i would care more than I do now. Basically whatever they think or try to do to me, i honestly couldn't care less about. I have my goals and i've been striving to reach them, i'm constantly keeping myself busy and doing what i need to do to accomplish my goals.
The pot hasn't negatively affected me, i still keep really active so that I stay in shape, and my parents noticed differences "Recently" when i'm smoking less now than i was last year. The fact that my dad is buying this whole "Self medication" bit after i've smoked since the summer of 9th to 10th grade is a testiment to that.
Anyways, what would you all do in my shoes, especially to those who've been here, what'd you do?
FYI on the folks they're jesus freaks, i'm almost suprised i'm not going to rehab over this. They don't want me lying down in the same room as a girl i'm dating, they're that crazy.
Thanks,
