I have just found texts on my 13yo DS's phone which talk about being stoned. He is going into yr 9 now and has a mixture of friends some from his year but many two years older as he is very good friends with our next door neighbour who is going into yr 11 ( they have pretty much grown up like brothers).
I am absolutely gutted and have no idea what to do. I also found texts (by him) about him being a piece of shit compared to friends and that he's grateful to have them. He clearly has very low self esteem but doesn't really talk to us. He keeps very much to himself.
He is going away this weekend with DH and a group of scouts including young leaders in their mid 20s that he looks up to so may be a chance for someone to have chat but what and who?
I don't know where to start really. My gut says ground him forever but that is extreme. My aim is to stop him rather than punish him. We have family members who work in mental health dealing with the consequences of cannabis use so well aware of the downsides.
Any ideas? (He is currently unaware that I have seen the texts)
