[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 705677, member: 1550"] Crayola, your son is very young. You don't know first hand how hard it can be to raise a teenager even if you are a caring involved stay at home mom, like I was. Your son has serious challenges and challenging biology and you may see yourself in our shoes no matter how hard you try. I hope not but it is possible. Crayola, we all try hard. And some parents don't try and have well behaved teens. Part of it is luck. You don't live with the kids you teach. You can't know if all of them have lacking parents. I doubt it. You know rumors and gossup only. I worked at a preschool and did not like the guessong about parents that went on mostly by women that jad no kods or small kids. And I told them so. And a few are struggling now as their kids hit their teens. Now they get it. Many good parents have kids who smoke pot or worse. Peer pressure is huge. I had a kid who a used drugs. I am a very good parent. My other kids never did. It's a bad idea to assume. Lastly there are good kids who achieve who smoke pot. Like alcohol, some people can handle it and some can't. One size doesn't fit all. Not meaning to be harsh but I don't appreciate being judged on this support site by anyone let alone a teacher who never raised a teenager yet. Being a teacher is not the same as having been a mother to a teenager. Please don't say you "know" why your students smoke pot because its untrue. It's like me saying everyone who drinks has a rotten life and needs to self medicate. I don't drink. Alcohol is a drug too and a dangerous one to the wrong people. [/QUOTE]
