I have 15 year old twins whose social life mainly consists of playing on the Xbox/online gaming. Neither really go out much but DT2 does sometimes go to the local park with his friends.
He has recently had a change in his friendship group at school. Yesterday was the second time he had gone out with a new friend at the weekend. He went out about 11am and knows he needs to be home for 6.30pm or he has to call me if he is going to be late.
He eventually turned up at 9.15pm. His dad had spoken to him on the phone a couple of times and DS had lied about where he was. We tried to talk to him, he said he had been drinking (he has previously said he doesn’t like the taste), he didn’t smell if alcohol and didn’t seem drunk but was acting odd. He eventually admitted he had taken weed (didn’t smell like he had smoked it) but then wouldn’t talk anymore so he went to bed. I thought that was for the best as I didn’t want things to get too heated.
He is just getting up now but I’m not sure the best way to handle this as I’ve never had dealings with drugs before.
