I know you really know that-so don't feel guilty about telling him!! And I'm sure he knows that too! I've done things in the past that are wrong but I will still teach my children that they are wrong. (sad that there are sooo many things that fall into that catagory for me)<BR/>Can you tell him what God's Word says--or in this time of his life would that not make a difference? About obeying the laws of the land--how it is illegal. Or remind him--if you break the law you may have to face the consequences-so be prepared to do that. Maybe that's the only thing that would scare him a little. It seems when people are young, the health reasons don't worry them as much because they feel kind of immortal.<BR/>I don't know--just tell him the truth and he will make his choices.<BR/><BR/>Maybe you can tell him half of all munchies are yours!

Just sorr...no fancy writers' words to offer, Vick. Just sorry it's happening. I guess what I'd say is that just because you did something and turned out ok doesn't mean it was the best choice, and acknowledging w/ him might give ya some leverage. <BR/><BR/>What I mean is, the "I never did it" argument won't work, and the "I did it, but I turned out ok" argument just gives him fuel to keep going, so the "I did it, but wish now i hadn't" approach is your most sincere offering. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure there's info you can gather off the Net to print up and show him how it kills brain cells, leaves you zoned out, saps your motivation, and can gateway you to harder stuff. That might not connect with him, but if you can gather objective evidence that it's 'not worth it', that might help.<BR/><BR/>Good luck - I want to have my kids frozen before they become teens!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12708601090893899916noreply@blogger.com
