[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 292895, member: 1550"] Missy, You can't stop him from hanging around with the friend, but you can tell him that if you find out he is, he'll have to leave. Tell him you don't care how close they were--being around him will be a temptation, a BIG one. Also, I'd make him work full time. My druggie kid always worked. My mom used to say "Busy hands are happy hands" and I agree. Teens who are prone to drug use with time on their hands who sleep in all day get lazy and are more prone to going back to drugs. My daughter quit on and off before we sent her to Illinois, where she was able to shed her friends and quit for good. Whenever she started taking up with her drug crowd, I knew she was using again. Always remember that more than pot is probably involved. Sometimes it's just pot, usually, with obvious users, it's more, and the other drugs don't have a particular odor to give them away. Be extra careful and stand your ground in your own house. That girl doesn't have to ever stay overnight in your house. I sure wouldn't have let her. THere are hotels. She can't afford it? She can't come. JMO [/QUOTE]
