[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, the concerning thing here is that your son seems to have found the [b]druggie kids [/b]at *both* schools he has attended. I have absolutely no idea why you think it's extreme to do drug testing. Your kid is using drugs. [b]It's not an extreme response to test him[/b], it's a way to hold him accountable.

I really think that especially given his genetic background, you are sending mixed messages. You should not be wishy-washy about where you stand on using drugs, including pot. [/quote]

The op never said their son did the drug, he/she just said they were exposed and the friend group he was around was doing things. These trolls are comical. Way to put these "tiger moms" trolls in their place. [/quote]

The prior poster is correct -you have a reading comprehension problem and sound so judgmental/rigid - I truly empathize for your children.

The literature on the most effective approach when dealing with teens and substances is 1. have a discussion in order to define the severity of the problem which OP did; 2. Promote a positive-trusting relationship with them in order to increase the lines of communication -she tried that, and he lied and violated their trust. She/He/They now have to set some limits but may not be ready to jump to the extreme of testing -perhaps first look for more healthy outlets that keep him busier on the weekend nights (job, volunteer, etc.). Have you ever heard "the best defense is a strong offense"; 3. Educate, educate, & educate with a variety of mediums (schools, coaches, teachers, peers, etc.). [/quote]
