I'm looking for advice about my 16 year old son! We discovered that he'd been smoking weed for some time. We had had out suspicions but believe me finding evidence is far harder than youd imagine. Since December he's been grounded apart from a once weekly outing with a new girlfriend who dumped him recently. This had got him started on how much he misses his old friends and weed and how much fun they had. He's seriously dyspraxic and dyslexic and struggles at school. Current GCSE pressure had been very stressful. He says that being seen as a "Stoner" and knowledgeable gave him street cred at school and he earned respect. He's at an independent school where access to drugs is easy despite the teachers best efforts. We've talked endlessly to him and know that we can't keep him chained up forever. We're all going away for a long weekend with friends which include school friends of his so we are hoping he can re-establish lost friendships as his drug taking dis-connected him somewhat. ANyway, I'm banging on and desperate. He's defiant. Says we don't under stand. All the usual rubbish that they're not addictive etc (just seeing the behaviour change and his pre-occupation with cannabis made us realise somehting had changed). Recently he's been put in the school footy team and his game is improving. But he steadfastly refuses to work on his GCSE projects. Has anyone else had similar experience?
