Answer 1

Are your parents irresponsible? Do they neglect you and any siblings you may have? Are they concerned about your welfare, school progress, etc? Are you not provided for in terms of food, clothing and other necessary things? Are your parents unemployed or have they lost jobs regularly?

If you answer Yes to these questions, then it's possible there is a problem that requires some sort of intervention either by police or another trusted relative.

If you answered No, then it's likely your parents are responsible pot smokers who would rather not deal with a criminal element to obtain their smoke and have therefore resorted to growing their own.

If the Aussie school system has anything like the DARE program here, you've most likely been handed a boatload of lies regarding drug use and especially marijuana. Be careful what you wish for...you could end up losing your parents if you turn them in.

If you were my daughter, I would hope you would have enough trust to come to me with your questions. I would answer honestly, and would never lie or exaggerate the facts about drug use and abuse.

Talk to your parents. I'm betting they have legitimate reasons for growing and smoking, not the least of which is that like millions of smokers around the world they understand that marijuana is not the monster its made out to be and they object to its illegal status.

Answer 2

Hello mi$$y,
Marijuana or weed is also illegal in the US where i live so even u could get sent to foster care or worse if you kno they have it and don't tell. So the best thing to do is tell someone you trust if you don't want to confront your parents about it. Maybe a school counselor or teacher. But if you do decide to confront your parents about it try to be as forward and polite as possible. Don't threaten them with things like " i will tell the police if you dont stop!" or "I know your growing so stop!" Try a calmer approach like "are you guys doing something that could get me or yourselves in trouble?" If they say no then make sure you have all the facts then tell another adult. I hope this helps. The most important this is to try to take care of the situation so that noone gets into more trouble than they need to!

Answer 3

God be with you sweet-heart. I truly feel for you. This is more complicated than just "do this" and "don't do that." Are you afraid your parents would hurt you physically if you tell? Is there any reason why they would hurt you if you confronted them? If so I would really hold back awhile and think of someone like the Pastor and his wife of your church, or another person (adult) like an Aunt or grandparent. Tell them and ask for help. I know your torn because you love your parents and your scared. But try to think of the affects of what you do will have on you and any other innocent children that are present in your home. I'm sorry your parents are putting you through this. I'm so sorry.

Answer 4

So what they grow weed big deal. Mind your own business - its not like they have a meth lab or something. Geez if I had found that at 15 I wouldve been thrilled - I wouldve started stealing from thier stash too. If you tell the police they could go to jail and then you will go to foster care or something. If you tell the school they will call the police or cps or something - keep your mouth shut you little narc.

Answer 5

Ok first off if you tell some one they will tell the police and your perants will go to jail and you will be taken from your perants... just let it go don't say nothin it's better off for you if you want to stay with your perants right now i know i mite not be giving good advice by saying not to tell but really i know how it is my dad smokes that stuff and really its not a fuss to worry bout in less there doing some thing besides weed.... if there doing some thing els thats not a plant like some thing you have to cook then tell some one

Answer 6

before everything tell your college counsellor or instructor in school. they could assist you realize the stairs you would be able to desire to taken in complete self assurance. in the experience that your mothers and fathers are advertising it to people then they need to flow to detention center. If its basically for inner maximum use the police would be much less harsh. it fairly is important YOU tell somebody!!! we've in basic terms had a relatives in Sydney, Aus, the place the toddlers have been got here upon to be in the homestead with a weed crop...the toddlers have been began to get the end results of living with th crop and their mothers and fathers (purchasers), the place commencing as much as advance into violent with the end results of utilising it long term... the toddlers have been positioned into the custady of close relatives...

Answer 7

Seriously Hon, Your best way to deal with this is to play stupid. Seriously. Just act like you caught them having sex. It's repulsive, it's something you would rather not think or talk about. You only have 3 years left at home. I know it seems like an eternity but it isn't. Just turn a blind eye. That really is the best way to go.

Answer 8

Your parents are doing this in secret...and I suggest that you, in secret, go to the most trusted adult family member, family friends, school official or police...in that order...unless it becomes an emergency for you then you go directly to the police. You will need protection, and a safe place to live. They will be in better position to help you with the police in the fact that the police usually want you with trusted family/ friends if they put your parents in jail. If this is already done and you have gotten reliable help from trusted adults that care about you then you may want to go to the police about it...it would be the greatest gift of love you could ever give your parents...even if they disagree with you during this time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Answer 9

The best answer is to report it!! Sure they will take you away for a while while your parents get the help they need. If it is against the law then stopping now before it gets out of hand. It is a hard thing to do at your age. But not only are they in a bad position if they get caught, but you will be as well.

Answer 10

Well the best thing to do is to tell the police. Yes you could lose your parents, what they are doing is VERY wrong. They should not be doing this, it is illegal, and having a 15 year old daughter is VERY dangerous. Hopefully this isn't their only source of income. Some things to think about are, do you have any family that lives near by? If there were to be locked-up. Would you have someone in your family that you could live with? If not, you could be put up for adoption, who knows. I hope the best for you.
