[quote=Anonymous]He is a teen - teens are known for pushing boundaries as they explore the world and develop their own individual self. They also like to fit in. Most teens have smoked or drank before the legal age. I am not sure where your rage is coming from. Do you expect perfection? He isn't an extension of you, he is his own person. He made a poor decision health wise but developmentally normal decision age wise. Your overreaction is more concerning than his behaviour. You can be disappointed that he decided to do something that is bad for his health but it shouldn't be affecting you this much. He is 17 and off on his own being independent as he grows into adulthood - college is likely next. He is going to make decisions that are different than decisions that you made at his age and that is okay. You likely also made some decisions that were the same as what your parents did. [/quote]
