Drinking and smoking pot is just what people OP's age do No, its what some of them choose to do. Its not like being high-school age is a medical condition.
Somehow breaking the law and drinking isn't my idea of a good time (I surmise I'm close the OP's age too) but I guess that means I'm going to fuck up later in life based on an informal poll of TL blog poster's opinions ~

Adolescence is, in a very real way

Don't misinterpret, what I personally was saying was that if OP wants to drink and smoke, which is perfectly standard (not universal, that should be obvious really...), and he is prevented, his parents are going to seem overbearing to him and he's likely to react badly. Part of growing up for most people is trying to break free of the boundaries your parents set you (mostly because in the teenagers mind, said boundaries suddenly seem incredibly unreasonable) and simply enforcing those boundaries more strictly is in my opinion not the way to go about it. Which is why I think the advice of simply 'do what your parents tell you' is counter productive.
...and boring, come on OP live a little.

Ironic that posters are telling him to "live a little" when the act that he describes will actually slowly kill him

Might be cultural differences but in sweden it's pretty much standard to get wasted when you're 15. Some people even start drinking when they're 12.In my experience the people who get restricted by their parents are the people who fuck up the worst when they're legally allowed to drink later on in life. If you give your children freedom they will learn to handle it.
I say you should do what makes you happy, but also remember that dissapointing your parents isn't the greatest feeling in the world. I agree with this guy. I'm proof of this. My advice is don't overdo anything, take everything in balance, and if you wanna smoke, smoke, just don't do it where they'll find out. That means outside. Roll ONE and take that with you.
The problem with that is most kids don't know how to not overdo. My Uncle's step-son recently started smoking pot at 16. 6 months later, he dropped out of High School, got kicked out of his house, quit his job, and now asks his step-dad and mom for money everyday to buy more weed. They don't give him any money, but it's still hilarious how he thinks they owe him anything because he's their son.

I see the irony but not a contradiction.

You have 250 bucks worth of weed hanging around?
..are you dealing it or what? Or is weed really expensive in the states.

That's approx what an ounce of good is going for from a grower in my area.

Probably the exchange rate makes it sound like more than it is, but when I used to smoke it I'd never have more than 40 quids worth on me. Possibly I was just poor.

Maybe your spelling will improve if you quit.

250 is probably less than a felony amount and small time amount if he was dealing. I doubt he was.
This blog has fallen into many debates that people aren't separating enough. You can support free will to smoke and still see it as a bad move to smoke. You can support free will to smoke and think its not cool to do under someone else rules.
You can also look at what this guy posted, see the situation he is, take in his age (prolly 16-17), and realize this is one of those tough growing up cross roads. This guy is being forced to make some tough calls in like the VERY near future and thats fucking tough.
GL dude. Fess up, come clean; that's the HARD TOUGH route that takes fucking huge ass balls. Hide the evidence and you a constant game of cat and mouse where losing means fucking your family times up. No choice offers that fast solution. No choice feels totally right from your point of view. This is a man's choice.

husky mudkipz spitting truth!! When you have kids of your own you will most likely give the same advice and look back on how stupid you were as a kid.

Try it all, but one day you will either be mature enough to quit or regret not having stopped earlier.

Genetics are stronger than cigarettes or alcohol, the oldest woman and the oldest man in the history were both drinkers and smokers (Jeanne Calment and Christian Mortensen)
My great grandfather smoked and drank alcohol and he lived to be 97
yes you increase your chances of lung cancer, livercancer/damage and heart diseases etc, so if any of those run in your family you probably shouldnt do any of those

you can't stop doing genetics. you can stop smoking. just because your family isn't predisposed to certain cancers doesn't mean you are free to smoke. just no. this logic is terrible. just because there are other stuff that happens to be worse doesn't justify doing something that's bad. it's still bad regardless of anything else.. jesus.
you also contradict yourself in your own post. just because you have a few cases in your family that managed to live long (and not necessarily healthy) lives doesn't mean the OP or any other person you give this shitty advice to has the same. duh.

Just saying that drinking a little or smoking every now and then wont kill you, and its not worth to live to be 100 if you're not gonna enjoy yourself anyway

Only if you've forgotten what it was like to be a kid. Then your kids will do the same stuff and you won't understand why but then they'll grow up and realise how stupid they were, then they'll have kids etc etc etc.
This process is known as Life.
You don't learn from other people's mistakes, you gotta make your own.

i see where you're coming from, and i agree. knowingly allowing your children to smoke or consume drugs and harm their well-being is another thing. stamping down on these behaviours isn't restrictive, just common sense. you don't need to have a kid electrocute him/herself on an outlet with wet hands for them to learn to not do it again. you don't need them to play with firearms to know that it's dangerous.

Not everyone that lives to 45 and dies from a heart attack because of smoking has lived a good life.
Smoking / Drinking != living a good life, especially when used in excess. There really is nothing wrong with your parents wanting their kids to live a long time, and they should be upset to discover someone they care about is putting their long term health in jeopardy - they should also be upset if what they are doing is illegal - its not unlikely that someone drinking underage or smoking weed to get caught and punished for it, so they should be upset in that circumstance as well.
