[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not uncommon with "beautiful" girls, who find more excitement from the attention of boys than they do from the drudgery of schoolwork.

1) See a counselor; 
2) Remove the electronics; 
3) Alarms on the doors and windows.

We are going through a rough time with my 14yo DS (sending nasty pictures to strangers via Kik, [b]early onset marijuana[/b], dishonesty) so you certainly have my sympathy. [/quote]

Early onset marijuana?! Is that like early onset Alzheimer's or menopause? That is the wackiest dcurbanmom phrase I have ever read...

Early onset, in the sense that he's just now figuring it out, trying to find out where to get it, etc.  Oh, and now we've found a bunch of empty Nyquil bottles.  Stupid teen experimentation or the start of years of heartache?  Trying to sort this out.

My DH was an early user or drugs/alcohol and was out of control for when he was 13 and 14 - marajuana, cocaine, ether (!), but he had (according to my ILs) always been a difficult child most of his life up to that point.  He drank himself into a coma at 14 and was hospitalized, and it scared him into stopping the drugs and over drinking. As he reflects back, it was a scary time for him (internally/emotionally).  He straightened up his behavior after that, but I feel sympathy for any parent who has to see their child go through that.

He is now a very successful professional with no substance abuse issues, so for him the drug/alcohol abuse was for a discrete time.

Wishing the best for you and your son.  [/quote]
