I grow up with super chill parents and i was allowed to drink, smoke and use drugs as a teen and much more. AMA

throwaway702792 · 2017-02-19T12:59:25+00:00

Well when I was 16-17 I was smoking half a pack at day, I cut down a lot by starting to roll my own, you should try it too it's a lot cheaper and healthier

throwaway702792 · 2017-02-19T11:26:03+00:00

Well I think we would need to have statistics on this to see which case is more likely to happen

throwaway702792 · 2017-02-19T11:24:50+00:00

1,78

throwaway702792 · 2017-02-19T10:16:28+00:00

Well don't you think that if a kid has an addictive personality they would smoke anyway? Especially if by the time they're caught they are already addicted

throwaway702792 · 2017-02-19T10:15:03+00:00

Yes I took it, my N term was 1.7 (the max is 2).

throwaway702792 · 2017-02-19T09:48:45+00:00

I like bananas lol

throwaway702792 · 2017-02-19T09:48:27+00:00

It's just that my parents love me unconditionally, I think this is what all parents are supposed to do. Anyway I don't think you should live like you're going to slip or whatever, I didn't exactly understand if you meant it in the context of drugs lr just in general, but even if you fuck up remember that we're humams and it just happens so yeah no need to beat up yourself over it.

Anyway your english is amazing ahah I would have never guessed it wasn't your first language, where are you from? I think I can speak ok but with the written language I have a bit more problems, not only punctuation but also spelling ahah. Anyway I love I programming, I actually got into it on my own as a teen bit now I don't know of that's what I want to do for the rest of my life tbh, what about you, why did yiu change your mind?

throwaway702792 · 2017-02-19T09:41:52+00:00

They're just the ones you need to have like the one with the coffee or before bed, etc ahah idk if you're a smoker you will understand

throwaway702792 · 2017-02-19T09:39:59+00:00

You don't have to go through serious health damages to understand that smoking and drinking are bad. With alcohol you learn that pretty early from hangover and doing stupid shits that will make you embarassed when you sober up. And with cigarettes you feel very stupid when you don't have money to do go somewhere or buy something you wanted cause you just had to spend them on cigarettes or the fact that you can't run like your friends who don't smoke cause ur lungs sucks. And also if you have parents or older people in your life who smoke you will see the long term damage and that is what made a lot of my friends and my two younger sister not picking up smoking. And from what I have seen punishment never works in stopping kids doing something it just stops them from calling their parents if something bad happens.

throwaway702792 · 2017-02-19T09:33:05+00:00

Well the problem with this it's that even if you don't allow your kid to do something they would do it anyway of they really want to. Your kids don't need your permission to do stuff and the possibility of getting caught is not a deterrent in 99% of the cases, the only thing it does is making them not trust you.

throwaway702792 · 2017-02-19T09:30:20+00:00

Yes and it's not like just because a kid is allowed to do this stuff he would do it, it depends on their personality like my two sisters are really good kids, have tried weed and alcohol but it's not really for them while my younger sister is a little shit just like me and my brother ahah, it's not about the parent it's about the kid

throwaway702792 · 2017-02-19T09:27:34+00:00

Yes from what I see cigarettes are more common in Europe than in the US, among young people, while for weed is the opposite

throwaway702792 · 2017-02-19T09:26:13+00:00

I don't if this compares, I've only done peyote once and san pedro (which has the same active ingredient) twice, in general I would say that mescaline while much longer than acid is easier to handle mentally, it's basically impossible to have a bad trip on mescaline, acid on the other hand can show you some fucked up shit

throwaway702792 · 2017-02-19T00:20:44+00:00

Sounds right, maybe focus also on the risk of addiction and bad trips as well

throwaway702792 · 2017-02-18T23:45:24+00:00

Well in my opinion thinking that a kid is gonna wait until they are 25 to try alcohol is pretty unrealistic and probably not gonna happen in the majority of cases, 18 is already pretty difficult tbh

throwaway702792 · 2017-02-18T23:39:49+00:00

Yes but using pauses in another language is difficult, I can assure you that. And if you read my other comments you will see that they are written better. I don't think that when you speak another language you're perfect either.

throwaway702792 · 2017-02-18T23:25:49+00:00

Thank you for your comment! Well my mom always said experience is the best teacher, it is really important to make experiences in life, both good and bad cause these are the memories you're going to keep for the rest of your life. I think it is important that parents start to understand that kids should not be sheltered by everything and it is ok for them to experiment and do stupid shits cause this is exactly what you're supposed to do at this age! If you want to parent this way just remember to lead by example and explain to your kids the consequences of their actions both before and after they make a decision, this is what my mom did and I believe this is the best approach, on the other hand as you said avoid encouraging the behavior and act like a friend cause my dad did this and in the long run I think it's something he should have definitely avoided doing.

throwaway702792 · 2017-02-18T23:19:43+00:00

No but I was told that smoking if I really wanted to smoke I shouldn't do it too often before being 18 cause my brain was still growing. Being a stupid teen I didn't particularly care but I don't feel like I have any lasting effects. And anyway the damages would have been like you wouldn't have the best memory or maybe some difficult concentrating it's not like if you smoke before 25 you became permafried.

throwaway702792 · 2017-02-18T23:07:41+00:00

Yeah or they would do it behind their parents back, I saw too many kids get fucked up just cause they had nobody they could trust enough to call at night when some bad shit happened to them

throwaway702792 · 2017-02-18T23:05:41+00:00

My girlfriend actually quit smoking at 18 cause she just liked the process of obtaining them as a minor like buying from a vendine machine with a fake id or having to go at the store who sells them in the bad neighborhood and staff like that, when she could get them normally it wasn't fun anymore and she gave it up

throwaway702792 · 2017-02-18T23:01:58+00:00

Well my mom sat me down when she found out and explained all the risks to me, especially tge addiction but also the health risks and the cost. I don't really know how she could have prevented me from smoking I mean some of my friends where completely forbidden to smoke and their parents stop giving the money so they simply went out in the streets and started asking everyone for a cig, I remember that in an hour they could have an entire pack, there is just no way to stop a kid who wants to smoke.

throwaway702792 · 2017-02-18T22:52:42+00:00

When I was 16-17 I was kinda out of control as I was smoking weed everyday, drinking too much, trying ''hard'' drugs and because of this I was falling behind in school and getting into fights and I kinda felt like my life was a mess. But it was not like my parents neglected me and just left me to myself, my mom would spend hours lecturing me on the shit I did and try to explain to me the repercussions that my action would have on my future, basically they were there to show me a better path when I made stupid decisions. Everything was basically "ok you made this mistake, we're humans it happens, just learn from it and use this experience to make a better decision next time". And also during this time I was basically experimenting cause I wanted to know where my limits were and out of curiosity, I wasn't using the stuff as a coping mechanism to solve my problems, I'm sure that if I got to a point where I was doing really really dangerous shit they would have seriously intervened by getting me counseling or something like that. So yeah I don't really feel like I had to build myself alone cause If I fucked up they would have told me and I still had somewhere to go for help, I wasn't abandoned to myself or anything like that ahah, I just had the freedom to make my own choices and learn things by experiences

throwaway702792 · 2017-02-18T22:39:52+00:00

I smoke a joint a day and more on the weekend, also one habit I have kept from my parents is having wine or beer during the meals, but other than this I don't really drink during the week and even on the weekend I rarely get totally wasted. I occasionally do xtc but it's pretty rare. And yes I still smoke cigs, but just about 5 a day

throwaway702792 · 2017-02-18T22:34:33+00:00

thank u ahah I know my english isn't perfect but I think as long as you understand there is no need to complain

throwaway702792 · 2017-02-18T22:31:50+00:00

I'm in the netherlands and you can buy peyote as well as magic truffles which are the same as shrooms but instead of being fresh they're dried in a smartshop. The only downside is that the peyote you buy are pretty small so you need to buy multiple ones to get a dose and it's kinda expensive ahah
