[QUOTE="just4usa, post: 599828, member: 16531"] He is taking a student loan to pay for tuition which we changed after he decided to take the wrong path. We have agreed to pay for the dorm and food plan for 1 semester. If he gets A's or B's we will pay that part of the student loan...but all grades have to be C's or better or the deal is off and he will pay it all. He does work almost full time which he enjoys. Not all teens use drugs but in this area we are very close to tons of families and they are talking about the same issues...I actually can't think of one of our friends that doesn't have one of their kids using. His grades are very close to a B average after graduating high school (which hasn't changed his whole life - not what I would consider a serious student but I am a chronic over achiever) He wants to go to college and won't deny him at least 1 semester...but I know he will be back home at Christmas and will be going to the local community college and working. Have to give him a chance I think - he already says we don't trust that he can do well - I told him that I couldn't be happier if he came home at the end of the semester and waived his grades in my face...so will pray that he does just that and stays on the right path. As far as other drugs don't think we haven't thought about it...but have no indication of anything else. If we ask him about smoking he is honest and tells us what he has been doing...says he doesn't want to lie to us. But, we don't believe everything he says...you just can't. Thanks for the response. Sad that so many parents and families going through all of this when it takes one moment to say no. [/QUOTE]
