How do you take my daughter's reaction to finding out a friend did drugs?

[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 309380, member: 7083"] There are so many drugs in school, and so many kids doing drugs, that it's almost become a "shrug your shoulders" kinda thing. Especially if it was pot. That's seen as not really a drug these days, I think, by a lot of youth. My kids are against drugs. difficult child 2 has done his fair share and still openly admits to smoking weed and drinking - although he says it's losing its appeal. My kids have grown up with him. They don't like the drugs, and both have told him that he's stupid for doing them, but they separate the drugs from the individual. I don't know if I'm making any sense, but she may just see it as something Sam does. I don't think it means that she is going to go out and do it herself. She sounds like a good kid with a good head on her shoulders, and one that is not likely to follow the crowd. It's a different era than what we grew up in. Anyone who did drugs of any kind when I was in school was labeled a "Stoner". I would be available (as I know you are) to talk about this should she want to, but I wouldn't push it. I think if you do, then she will most likely not come to you about any concerns she has about friends and drugs, sex, etc. I would keep any eye open, but I think you have every reason to feel confident that your daughter is not going to follow Sam's lead. Hope this makes sense. I'm having trouble getting my thoughts out today. [/QUOTE]
