[quote=Anonymous]I went through this with my just-graduated 18yo. There was a period of 6-9 months last year when he was out of control with the weed vapes including smoking at home even in the face of:

1) talking to him all the time about why it was bad for him
2) giving him literature about it
3) taking the car away
4) keeping the door open to his room and his closet door
5) grounding
6) taking him to the doctor to get checked out and talked to
7) looking into rehab centers and telling him this

Finally at some point the teenage-rebellion brain chilled out and he realized he was being an idiot plus he realized he was developing a cough. I think that woke him up the most. He dropped the weed-smoking friends and started gravitating to his other friend group. This all happened the 2nd half of senior year. He also randomly took up golf. This is a kid who graduated at the top if his class of 500 and is going to a top school.

To be honest I would not change anything we did. We threw everything at this issue but he didn't decide to stop until he wanted to. [/quote]
