I actually am not sure how to handle a situation at our local high school. Our AD told me “half the school students did grass.” I, was amazed. In talking with my freshman daughter, she says she knows lots of freshman that smoked pot before football practice everyday - they will be sophomores soon.
My son is on the Varsity squad class of 2014 - started OL as a sophomore said lots of guys are smoking. He is a geek so is at his computer most of his off time and says if we complain about how much computer time he uses and he says well, I am not doing drugs.
I wonder if the increase in sports injuries in HS have anything to do with this.
I cannot tell you because I always handle things badly myself.
I told my son when he was in High school that if he did drugs he wouldn’t have to worry about the police.
The he would tell me where he got the drugs if I had to beat it out of him and he and I would be taking a walk to that students home with a baseball bat and he assuredly would not be selling my son any more drugs.
If he wanted to be embarrassed and watch his dad go to jail to go ahead and do drugs, because that was what was going to happen. I watched him close also. He said I didn’t trust him and I informed him that trust was not a right that it had to be earned., he earned it.
