he sounds like a little shit but he is only 15 & there's no avoiding it... he will spend the next few years going through his being an arsehole stage

your friend must be at their wits end & needs your support too. they wouldn't kick him out & then not be worrying, it does't mean they don't love him! they are just trying the being cruel to be kind approach!!

it's the fucking weed & pothead mates! that is his biggest problem to start with!!.. lack of motivation & no money.. habit addiction!.. sod the arseholes who defend it! just a bunch of scummy twats

take him in, lay down the rules, make sure he knows he's in shit street.. give him a chance & don't let him take the mick.. tell he's got a month to sort himself! chance is he'll realise he's been a complete knob & go begging to be let back home

social worker material!.

that's gotta be a thankless job.. sod that!

fuck research & labs!! drugs have devastating effects on society & drug addicts love spouting this shit just to justify their pathetic addicttion!

Cannabis isn't a synthesized drug. If you wanna talk about drug addicts, refer to synthesized drugs. ANd if you can't back up your claims with information, then you're just a babbling troglodyte.

i don't care about what's what!!.. u ain't gotta be any kind of scientist to see what drugs do to societies & families! they fuck people up one way or another..

The fact you lump Cannabis in with "drugs" makes it evident that you're beyond brainwashed. Your insistance on dismissing scientific fact does make me laugh.

lol. You're kidding right?

Last November, a study was released saying that kids who began smoking pot before 16 years old could suffer cognitive problems. Those kids they tested smoked 3 times as much marijuana than their adult counterparts who were also chronic smokers. Those studies didn't involve genetics or anything involving the children's lives outside of this intense smoking.

Similarly, decades ago when the anti-communism and anti-cannabis (and, incidentally, segregation) days, monkeys were used to test if pot caused brain damage like alcohol. The tests came out clearly positive, yet the monkeys had been wearing masks with constant joints being fed to them until they died.

Furthermore, if you're going to be worried about a kid smoking pot, you should be worried about the act of smoking itself and perhaps seek a vaporization alternative. Again, the information is extremely faith-based. There is no proof because it doesn't exist. There IS proof it shrinks tumors, calms autism and other spectrum disorders, and prevents wasting in AIDS and cancer patients as well as helps with pain control in people with MS and muscular dystrophy (along with the tried and true heightened sense of artistic and passionate feelings).

It doesn't take a private investigator to find out information about marijuana and to dispel the rumors and lies. If anything, you should be curious to find out this information given the herb has been used for thousands of years. There's a reason for that. And a reason for why the government and the pharmaceutical industry would suppress information championing it.

And in closing, 30 million people in 2008 don't lie. Pot is fucking great.

This thread is not about you and how much you love pot.

It's about a child of 15 who is homeless, getting kicked out of school, bad grades, screwing around with girls and in order to sedate himself is smoking pot.

This isn't about having fun at a party. This is about a child who's life is falling apart and he is smoking pot, which prevents him from realizing that he has to do something about it, before it's too late.

I don't think you're qualified to state why he is smoking pot. Furthermore, I don't think you're qualified to suggest those behaviors are the roots of the problem, either. Lastly, those behaviors are conducted by responsible people all the time - it has nothing to do with why this kid is fucked up.

^ no. spinlight is right about cannabis. it has a multitude of positive applications. there is a good reason for rpescription cannabis. and the only reason cannabis is not legal has more to do with political infighting in the 1920s and 1940s than concerning anything related to its overall psychotropic effects.

if you're concerned about social damage, statistically alcohol is by far and away the most costly, addictive, legal drug in america right now. and if you want to be concerned about 'drugs and society' take a closer look at chantix, ambien and some of the other designer brain candy being mass marketed to an unsuspecting public.

BUT this thread is about the kid.

the kid is fifteen and living a lifestyle he shouldn't be. he needs to be able to make his way in the world before he can choose a lifestyle for himself. so, he needs to be in school, learning. he should be in the care of some one responsible enough to keep him in line until he can safely reach adulthood.

it depends on if you're willing to figuratively smack him upside the head and reign him in, sounds like that's what it will take. if that isn't his mom, and it isn't you, cbarnes3121, then imo it should be social services of some kind. good luck

A neighbour of mine suffers from ataxia this is a crippling illness!! characterized by impaired ability 2 coordinate movement.He has a mobility scooter 2 get around,but he does use cannibis & after doing so can walk!!!!Strange but true!.

Don't turn the child away. At 15 years old, this kid is biologically unprepared to deal with a burden as big as being homeless. If you choose not to let him live in your house, you should be responsible enough to find a safe place for him to stay. If you let him stay at your house, make sure he understands that there are behaviors you see in him that you will not tolerate, and stick to your guns when he tests you (because mostly likely, he will test you).

As for the sex and weed, I hate to say it, but that's pretty common. I know girls that started drinking and/or having sex at 13. Many adults lose their virginity during their teenage years. There's not much you can do to keep him from having sex, but make sure he understands the reprocussions and always always ALWAYS uses protection. Just inform him, that's all you can do. As for the weed, again, just educate him. Make sure he understands the negative effects of smoking, and then step back and let him decide. If weed is illegal in your state, I'd take a more forceful approach in getting him to stop.

You might want to take him to a psychiatrist, but from what you've told us, his behavior seems like average teenage stuff. If he is violent, then that's a different story.

Whatever you do, don't abandon him because his attitude is difficult. Being a teenager can be tough, and it seems like he'll grow out of this phase in a few years.
