Me and my brother found..?

Question

a weed pipe that was recently used(and had the smell of weed) and two pill bottles of Aderol(neither of my parents have conditions that require this) in their closet. What should we do? All of our life our parents have told us not to do drugs, stay pure, use your judgment, ect and now we find this. It makes us look at our parents in a whooolllleee new perspective. Should we keep our knowledge of it as "get out of jail free cards" per se, or just tell them upfront about it? We're shocked.

melanie o - My brother found it looking for the baseball mitt. My brother has been to parties with weed, and some of his friends smoke it.

Wise Guy - You aren't very wise. Why would we snoop; I wouldn't want my parents snooping in my closet. Read above.

Retta - You're jumping to conclusions. Read above.

Answer 1

I would suggest talking to your parents. Most kids want to be treated as adults so use this as a way of showing you can be one. They may have a good reason for these items being there, without asking you will never know and always assume your parents are guilty. Remember we all should be treated as innocent until proven guilty. The other way you could look at it is what would you want your parents to do if the situation was reversed. Would you want them thinking you were guilty or would you like it if they spoke to you about it. I know I personally would prefer to be given the opportunity of an explanation rather than someone to live life with an unanswered question on their mind.

Answer 2

even if your parents are doing things like that they very well could have been from a while ago and it doesnt mean they do it all the time. (weed smell in pipes stay for a while) and they whole "get out of jail free" thing...doesnt work. they will always turn it around on you. they probably told you not to do drugs because they, obviously, know what they are like and dont want you to be under that kind of influence. instead of throwing it their face maybe just sit and have a conversation telling them that you know about it and that your not judging but that someday, if or when, you decide to experiment that they did/do it too!

Answer 3

at some point in our lives we learn that our parents are also people too!'you have discovered this much too soon. you should not have invaded their privacy.
do they invade yours?
as long they respect your feelings and privacy , why are you wanted to hold something over their heads as a get out of jail free card.
why would you need one?
if you keep your own noses clean.
let your parents be! Keep up a good life of your own, where you don't need to hold something over their heads.

Answer 4

Tell them you found it and have lost ALL respect for them because they are hypocrites, and leave it at that.They may try to defend it, but look at their friends who are older who do drugs and see what kind of lives THEY live.

Answer 5

Throw it all away. That crap is no good for anyone. I would let them know what you found after you have gotten rid of it. Tell them that they must lead by example. -Good Luck.

P.S.
"Tear up that get out of jail free card too." -LOL
No need to stoop to that level.
