Hello ****
We’re good at listening……whats up?

Thank you that’s so nice! Well I met my best friend and now my boyfriend when I started smoking weed and he learned me all the things I know. Everything I believe in is because he helped me open my eyes to the world.

Ive been learning and doing research on so many things about it and I have met so many people with the most amazing stories, how it saved their lives and so on…to be honest it saved me, I moved on to other friends and now looking back the ones i left behind are all hooked on some pretty bad drugs. Any way its just a brief for you to understand my concern.

I really want to tell my parents what I’m really like and what I’m up to. I really respect them and I don’t want them to find out somehow that might be unpleasant. But I’m so afraid that they might be freaked out because they see weed on the same level as heroin and that kind of stuff.

I also have meds my mom wants me to take but I really don’t need it when I can smoke. Just today I was a bit down because of all this going through my mind, and I didn’t smoke today since I’m visiting my mom for the week (I’m 18 and studying in Pretoria). She asked me if i’m ok and I had to lie to her about whats going on. Instead I just wanted to tell her. I also feel that when they know I can make a difference in my own way.

Here’s my question: Do I tell my mom ? Or do I leave her to ask me straight forward (I don’t know if she will though). I think she might be afraid that she won’t like my answer, but then again I don’t know.

Thank you for your time I hope my story makes a bit sense.
